Summary

In this double-length episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team midway through its 2025 season, and preview the Wolverines' home tilt against Washington.

They open with a look at Michigan's offense. They discuss what has and has not met preseason expectations on the offensive side of the ball, a lackluster showing at USC, what must improve in the second half of the season and what some of the offensive keys are against the Huskies.

In the second half of the episode, they take stock in Michigan's defense. They discuss surprise letdowns so far, why the defense struggled so much against USC, and what the blueprint against the Huskies' offense needs to look like.

Along the way, they make prop-bet picks on both sides of the ball, and score predictions for Saturday's game.
