The Michigan Wolverines improved to 3-1 on the season with a 30-27 win at Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln, the second and final game of head coach Sherrone Moore’s two-game suspension.

Associate head coach Biff Poggi kept the team together and Michigan walked out of Lincoln victorious. On Saturday, Poggi revealed the statement he thought the team made in the win.

“The statement was, I think, multifaceted,” Poggi said after the win. “First of all, we love our coach. He’s our coach, he’s our coach for a reason. He recruited the team, he prepares the team. That was the first statement. And then the second statement was there’s this narrative going around that we can’t win on the road, and that was a statement. A little bit of a narrative like, hey, if it’s a really lively hard place to play, we kind of — we’re not finishing those games. I think a lot of that was a statement today.

Michigan is off this week for its first of two byes during the 2025 season. It returns to game action on Oct. 4 against Wisconsin at the Big House with the kickoff time to be announced on Monday. From there, the Wolverines will travel to Los Angeles on Oct. 11 for a showdown with the USC Trojans. Kickoff time will be announced on Sept. 29.

Michigan quote of the day

 ”This was the bounce back that you needed to see from the first away game at Oklahoma, especially offensively. I thought that you saw us be a little bit more creative, a little more dynamic, move the ball around the field. A lot of guys saw different targets. Obviously had the run game going, and that’s always nice to be able to rely on that. But overall, I just thought you saw this team have a cohesive response to what was not their best performance in Norman, Oklahoma. And to see this team come together and put a performance together like that against a good Nebraska team on the road, that’s a sign of good things to come with a lot of football left to play.”
