Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team’s 30-24 win over No. 2 Ohio State, the Wolverines’ third straight win in the series and a win that opens up Michigan’s title-winning possibilities.

They open by looking at what was a sound, player-led team win for the Wolverines. They discuss Michigan’s lack of mistakes, as well as grit, experience and physicality on display all game. They then pivot to look into the Wolverines’ offense, in which an experienced, talented quarterback, fearless play-calling and a gritty second half gave Michigan the edge over a stout Ohio State defense.

In the second half of the episode, they look at what Michigan’s defense did and did not do right in the game. They also look at the Wolverines’ special teams making a difference, where Ryan Day goes from here and what Michigan can aim to work on between now and the College Football Playoff.
