Summary
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz conduct their annual season predictions episode, in which they predict how they expect the Wolverines' season to transpire on offense, defense and as a team.
They open with a look at Michigan's offense, making predictions about the Wolverines' passing game, Bryce Underwood, rushing attack, leaders in key statistical categories, award-winners and more.
After the offense, they flip to the other side of the ball, and discuss statistical leaders, top players and award-winners on Michigan's defense.
In the second half of the episode, they expand to team-wide predictions, including projected first-team All-Big Ten players, Michigan's game-by-game record, final record and postseason result and more.
