Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team’s 24-10 win over Wisconsin, and what it means for the Wolverines moving forward.

They open with a look at Michigan’s offense, which struggled in the first half, but came alive to the tune of 300 yards in the second half. They discuss which half was more important, two strong showings from the Wolverines’ wide receivers, the continued success of Justice Haynes, Bryce Underwood’s development and why it took until week five for Andrew Marsh to earn a start.

In the second half of the episode, they look at the defensive side of the ball. They discuss standout players, which trends are worth noting beyond just facing Wisconsin, youth and depth at key positions and what’s working for the top-10 defense. They close with a look at the top teams in the Big Ten, where Michigan ranks right now, and what happened to Penn State.

0:22.7	Steve Lorenz is here with me. This is our Michigan-Wisconsin recap. Michigan, though they only led 10-7 at halftime, they pulled away for a 24-to-10 win to move to 2-0 and Big 10 play, 4-1 on the season. as we do in most of these episodes.

0:38.3	at some of the takeaways on the offensive side of the ball, and then we'll switch to the
0:42.3	defense. And this episode, now that we've seen a few weeks of big 10 play, we'll probably

1:04.4	There's a few ways to look at it. They, they ultimately got where they needed to go. They
1:08.3	compiled 300 yards in the second half. I think it was what
1:11.8	445 total total yards, but it was it was tough in the in the first half. You know, they kind of,
1:17.4	not that I was the only one that thought this, but they kind of fell into the trap where it seemed like
1:21.2	they were almost like running into a brick wall and only had like 145 yards in the first half,
