X (Twitter) Reactions: Media Reacts To Michigan Football Obliterating Nebraska

The Wolverines moved to 5-0 after defeating the Cornhuskers on Saturday. The media reacted during and after the win from Michigan.

It was pretty obvious from the opening drive: Michigan was in for a big day. The Wolverines took the opening drive right down the field and J.J. McCarthy found his favorite target, Roman Wilson, for a spectacular touchdown grab to give Michigan an early lead. 

The Wolverines scored on the next two drives to go up 21-0 and J.J. hit Wilson (again) for a TD right before halftime to go up, 28-0. The Wolverines ran for 131 yards in the first half against a team that averages 46.2 yards allowed per game.

Michigan ended up sitting down McCarthy halfway into the third quarter, and the Wolverines outscored the Huskers 17-7 in the second half. Michigan ran for 249 yards on the ground against the elite Nebraska run defense. 

The Wolverines covered the spread and moved to 5-0 on the year after a, 45-7 thrashing. Media and former players reacted during and after the game on social media and I'm going to show you the best ones.

Scott Bell summed up the first half pretty well

My in-depth first-half thoughts:

What an ass kicking.
