Summary
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview Michigan's week two matchup against UNLV, and discuss what the Wolverines can show beyond the box score to make it a successful weekend for them.
In the first half of the episode, they look at Michigan’s run game, and discuss how success will be measured when opposing defenses sell out to stop the run. They also look at the Wolverines’ offensive line, the return of Sherrone Moore and a potential emphasis on getting the ball to other pass-catchers after Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson shined last week. They include a few over-under predictions along the way.
In the second half of the episode, they break down how this week could be an interesting test for Michigan’s cornerbacks, particularly on the deep ball. They also look at Michigan’s pass-rush, and what needs to be shown this week from the group. They close with some over-under predictions, as well as their final score predictions for the weekend.
