Summary
In this episode, we discuss some of the key storylines surrounding the Michigan football team this week, and preview the Wolverines' upcoming game against Northwestern.
We open with a look at Michigan's much-discussed team culture. We break down strong comments from players about how the Wolverines handled the bye week, and what that means for the trust and energy Michigan has within its program. We then turn our attention to the Xs and Os, and discuss additional thoughts on where Michigan stacks up coming out of the bye week. We discuss concerns the Wolverines have to address, and what Michigan can show this weekend (beyond a win) to make this weekend a success for the Wolverines.
In the second half of the show, we do our weekly prop bets, and offer our thoughts on how Saturday's game will transpire.
