Summary

With fewer questions from readers this week, Lorenz and Shaw recap what is going well for the No. 14 Michigan football team on offense, defense, special teams and more after the Wolverines dismantled Nebraska, 56-10 for their third consecutive blowout win. Discussions are centered around Michigan’s dynamic and unique offense, its conversion improvements on third downs and in the red zone, what the offense could look like moving forward, why the defense looks dominant yet again and who has stepped up, and some talk about special teams, how Michigan’s current team compares to 2016 and 2017 and more. Then, the two dissect Michigan’s standing with four remaining five-star recruits (Zach Harrison, George Karlaftis, Quavaris Crouch and Kyle Ford) that it has a shot at landing, eventually ranking which ones are the most and least likely to commit to the Wolverines. Finally, Lorenz and Shaw preview Michigan’s matchup at Northwestern, playing over-under, discussing what the Wildcats bring to the table and offering their thoughts on the game and final prediction for the game.
