Summary
In this episode, we discuss a number of key talking points about the Michigan football team this week, along with previewing the Wolverines' matchup against Northern Illinois.
We begin by discussing the atmosphere surrounding the Michigan football team's night-game win over Washington. We discuss what worked, why the Wolverines' fan atmosphere might be underrated and how games like Saturday can change that reputation. We discuss how valuable it can be to recruiting, and if Michigan should incorporate more night games.
We then turn our attention back to the field. On defense, we look at the long-term significance of so many young and inexperienced players making early impacts on the Wolverines' defense, and why that should really excite fans. We then offer our concern levels of Michigan's run-happy game plan, and if fans should worry about that already.
We close by looking at Michigan's Saturday tilt against Northern Illinois. We look at what would constitute as a successful weekend this week for the Wolverines, then make our over-under and score predictions for the game.
