Summary

This week, the podcast is almost entirely centered around the Michigan football team’s stunning blowout loss to Ohio State to lose out on Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff contention. We first look at what went wrong in the game, from the Wolverines’ offense failing to seize opportunities in the first half, deciding to stick with their game plan rather than attack Ohio State in ways that other teams had success, the defensive line struggling in major ways and the Buckeyes picking apart Michigan’s top-ranked defense. We then expand things and examine what the big-picture takeaways are from the game. While we both agreed that wholesale changes aren’t necessary, we did dive into what is ailing Michigan in big games and against more prepared and athletic teams, and what the Wolverines can do about it moving forward. Finally, we close with our thoughts on Michigan’s upcoming bowl game, and what the Wolverines can gain or should try to do in the game, likely to be either the Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl.
