                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nebraska is coming up Sept. 20 for Michigan. Road game — always tough. That was a pretty devastating performance against a lackluster CMU squat...almost 600 total yards!  400 on the ground, 200 through the air. Can they have those stats at Nebraska...no, but what you expect...more ground game, or do they try to get Underwood more involved than when in OklahomaCurious to see growth from that game. CMU is a confidence builder.</p>
