In the latest installment of “Behind Enemy Lines,” Michael Smeltzer engages in an enlightening conversation with Jeff Williams of Huskers Gameday to dissect the upcoming football face-off between Michigan and Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Jeff shares insights on a Nebraska team that seems to be grappling with a series of disappointing performances and apparently meager talent pool under the leadership of their new head coach, Matt Rule.
During the segment, Jeff zeroes in on a few players who, despite the overarching struggles, have the potential to make a significant impact on both offense and defense.
As expected, the discussion is not void of some friendly but spirited banter between Jeff and Michael about the contentious national championship from 1997, a title split between Michigan and Nebraska. Jeff, with Cornhusker loyalty, firmly believes Nebraska would have emerged victorious had the championship game been played, whereas Michael, staunchly in the Michigan corner, argues that Michigan would have secured the win.

Adding another layer to the discussion, they explore the narrative of Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann. The sophomore player, originally a Nebraska native, had his freshman season with the Cornhuskers before transferring to Michigan.
This weekend marks a significant homecoming for him as he returns to Lincoln, Nebraska, with the Michigan team, a subplot that surely adds a layer of intrigue to the impending matchup.
This installment of “Behind Enemy Lines” provided a compelling look at the upcoming Michigan-Nebraska game. Michael Smeltzer and Jeff Williams’ lively discussion and differing perspectives offered an insightful and entertaining preview, setting the stage for an intriguing matchup.
