Summary
This week’s show opens, per Lorenz’s request, with discussion over the Detroit Lions’ meltdown against the New York Jets, and if there has ever been a situation in college football or Michigan history where a coach was so obviously in over their head in week one. Following that, the two discuss the Wolverines’ newfound passing attack, which includes Shea Patterson’s early returns and apparent improvements from Michigan’s wide receivers. The discussion also turns into talk about what Patterson does well already, and what his next steps could look like. The two also break down other lasting impressions from the Wolverines’ 49-3 win over Then the two look at emerging and present position battles that could factor into Saturday’s game, exploring Carlo Kemp’s ascension, how Brad Hawkins and Brandon Watson fit in and other second-string players to keep an eye on. Afterward, the two discuss Michigan’s offensive line for the umpteenth time, breaking down what to make of Michigan’s apparent push to make where Jalen Mayfield and James Hudson stand more public. In doing so, they also discuss both players’ trajectories, and when might be the best time to make a switch if Michigan indeed likes their prospects better than its current starters. Before closing the show, Lorenz and Shaw also field additional questions surrounding Michigan football. Then, they play over-under with regards to Michigan’s matchup against SMU, providing their thoughts into what the matchup will be like and what the Wolverines can do to make it a successful weekend beyond the box score.
