• In Michigan's third trip to Lincoln, Neb., the Wolverines evened their record to 1-1-1 in road games against the Huskers. Overall, U-M is 6-4-1 all-time against Nebraska in 11 meetings.
• The Wolverines are 6-0 for the first time since 2016, when the team started 9-0.
• This game marked Michigan's 65th night game. The Wolverines are 38-27 in those 65 contests.
• Jake Moody was 4-for-4 on field goal attempts (35, 21, 31 and 39 yards), including his 39-yarder with 1:24 remaining to give U-M a 32-29 lead. He was also 2-of-2 on extra points.
• After the offense began the game with three consecutive three-and-outs, the offense put together scoring drives of six, 11, 11, and 10 plays in the next five possessions to produce two touchdowns and two field goals.
• Michigan's 14 first downs in the first half were the second-highest total for the team so far this year (17, Northern Illinois).
• Signalcaller Cade McNamara posted his second career 200-yard passing game, finishing with 255 yards through the air.
• Running back Hassan Haskins gained 123 yards, including a highlight-reel 50-yard rush in the fourth quarter, to register his sixth career 100-yard game on the ground. He has four 100-yard rushing efforts in his last seven games.
• After Haskins failed to score last weekend, his second-quarter rushing touchdown gave him seven for the season and at least one in five of six games overall. Haskins tied Blake Corum with that touchdown for most on the team, then passed Corum with his third-quarter score to take the team lead with eight rushing touchdowns.
• The performance marked Haskins' third multi-touchdown game of the season and matched his career high with two rushing touchdowns.
• After Haskins took the team rushing touchdown lead, Corum tied the tally with a 29-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth quarter. Corum and Haskins are now both up to eight rushing touchdowns this season.
• Junior Colson had five tackles during the game to set a new career high.
• Wide receiver Daylen Baldwin had a career-high six receptions for the game (64 yards). Baldwin's previous high was three receptions.
• Defensive back Daxton Hill made his fourth career interception in the second quarter off a pass attempt that he tipped and then caught when he fell to the ground. It gives Hill two straight games with an interception, and the Michigan defense has had at least one turnover in five straight contests after failing to record one in the season opener.
• For the first time in his career, tight end Luke Schoonmaker posted a multi-catch game, with two receptions for 29 yards.
• Tight end Joel Honigford made his first career reception in the second quarter, a 10-yard gain.
