Summary

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga react to the Michigan football team’s 2024-28 Big Ten football schedules being released, and then preview the Wolverines road game at Minnesota.

In the first half of the episode, they offer their thoughts on the Wolverines’ future Big Ten schedules, which were released Thursday afternoon. They discuss Michigan’s gauntlet of a 2024 schedule, whether expectations need to be reset for that season, the perks of having more prominent teams on Michigan’s home schedule and the perks of some tough road games on the slate.

In the second half of the episode, they look at some of the biggest keys for Michigan in its road contest against Minnesota. They look at the Golden Gophers’ ability to force turnovers, another chance for Michigan’s backup running backs to impress, the Wolverines’ secondary continued efforts to grow and how Michigan can shut down Minnesota’s offense. They close with their final score predictions for the game.
