Summary
In this episode, we discuss the ups and downs of the Michigan football team's 33-7 win over Northwestern, and discuss our early impressions of the Wolverines' upcoming matchup at No. 8 Michigan State.
We begin by looking at two things that worked well for Michigan on Saturday. We discuss another elite defensive performance from the Wolverines, and why we think the group is ready to hold its own against superior offenses. We also discuss the standout performances from Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum, and why the duo has a case among the best in the country. We then discuss Michigan's passing game, and how concerned fans should be over lackluster numbers.
In the second half of the show, we look at other remaining concerns, Michigan's upcoming matchup against Michigan State and what the Wolverines can do between now and then to ready for the matchup.
