Summary
Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's exceptional upset win over No. 2 Ohio State, and all the detail on what it means and what's next.
We begin by breaking down what worked for the Wolverines in the win. We look at Michigan's dominant run game, stingy defense and Jim Harbaugh building a team that is distinctly his. We discuss how the Wolverines pulled off what they had to pull off on defense, and how Hassan Haskins put together an all-time showing at running back.
We then discuss what the victory means. We look at Michigan's national title opportunity, how the win can have an emanating effect on both fans and the players' culture, what it says that the Wolverines stuck with the plan and saw it pay off in an era where many athletic departments struggle to have that faith.
We close with some more talk on Aidan Hutchinson and Haskins, and their place nationally.

| 1:41.6 | used in my game story, euphoric energy from the crowd, from the players. |
| 1:47.1 | I could go on and on just about the atmosphere. I thought Michigan actually did a lot of |
| 1:51.3 | really smart things with this game from an administration standpoint with the pom-poms, |
