Summary
In this week's episode, Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 27-9 loss to Ohio State. They highlighted the team's reliance on the run game early, which led to initial success with runs of 36, 21, and 22 yards. However, the offense struggled to maintain balance, with only one first-down pass in the first half. Borges noted the need for more quarterback-dependent plays and better third-down execution. He graded the offensive line, tight ends, running backs, quarterback, and wide receivers, assigning grades ranging from D to C+. He emphasized the importance of developing the quarterback and offensive line for future success. He also discussed a potential spring practice plan for Bryce Underwood, emphasizing the importance of fundamental drills and game-relevant scenarios. The conversation concluded with light-hearted banter about Borges' potential return to the coaching staff.
