Summary
In this episode, we field a number of listener questions about the Michigan football team.
We begin with a discussion on potential defensive breakout players. We break down Don Brown's candidates for Michigan's next Josh Uche-type edge rusher, looking at the ascension and trajectories of Luiji Vilain, Taylor Upshaw and David Ojabo, and what their roles could look like in 2020 and beyond. We also look a look at Michigan's potential two-deep at defensive tackle, and what the keys are for Donovan Jeter and Mazi Smith to get more run on the field this fall.
We then look at the feasibility and the steps it will take for Michigan to return to facilities, and what the Big Ten and University of Michigan may do in terms of allowing facility access again. We also discuss how overrated (or not) Jim Harbaugh is nationally, while taking a peek at coaching rankings. We close with a look at which Michigan decommits the Wolverines might miss the most.
