Summary
In this week's episode, Vance Bedford and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's defensive showing in its 21-16 win over Purdue. While they praised key defensive stands, they also noted repeated mistakes from earlier in the season. Bedford criticized the Wolverines for playing down to Purdue's level, especially calling out the defensive line for being out of position and causing poor run defense. However, he highlighted Wink Martindale's "sound" strategy to protect young, injury-replacement linebackers, and also praised captain Ernest Hausmann. Wrapping up the segment, Bedford concluded with a call for fundamental improvement, particularly in pass defense, during the bye week.
