Summary
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's 31-20 win over Michigan State, what the Wolverines showed in the game, and what it means for the rivalry moving forward.
They open with a look at the offense, which was as run-dominant as Michigan has been all season. They discuss the run game's success, especially in the second half, as well as the shortcomings on multiple fronts in the passing game.
In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defense, which was dominant for most of the game, saw key standout players, but also had a couple drives where things weren't as sharp.
They close the episode with a look at the state of the in-state rivalry, where Michigan State goes from here after another rivalry loss and an 0-5 start in Big Ten play and what it all means for Michigan.
