| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. |
| 0:06.4 | I'm your host, Zach Shaw. Steve Lawrence here with me. We are recapping Michigan's 45-7 win over Nebraska at Nebraska. |
| 0:15.1 | Alejandro and I were in Lincoln, churning out tons of stories and being kind of the boots on the ground for the |
| 0:22.3 | Michiganinsider.com, Michigan.247 sports.com. We got lots of stories up already from the game, |
| 0:27.9 | and now that we're both home from our different flights and everything, it should be even more |
| 0:33.1 | over there. So be sure to check it out if you want to read more about what I believe is Michigan's |
| 0:39.2 | most complete game of the season, their most impressive game of the season. And really, I mean, |
| 0:44.7 | obviously there's like a lot of numbers that could back that up. But my first takeaway from the |

| 1:37.1 | big 10 team in that big 10 team's own building. |
| 1:40.9 | And then the other thing that really stood out to me, |
| 1:43.1 | and I have a column on this over |
| 1:44.9 | at the Michiganinsider.com, Michigan at 247sports.com. I've covered a lot of these road games. |
| 1:51.8 | It's not supposed to look this easy to score a Big Ten road win, especially at a venue that has |
