Summary
The show begins with a lengthy discussion of how the current Michigan football team — ranked fourth nationally — compares to the Wolverines’ 2016 team, as well as how Michigan’s current defense ranks among the best in school history. This also carries into a discussion of why the Wolverines are having so much success with the team that they have. Then, the duo switch gears to discuss recruiting, as Lorenz offers some clarification into what it means for a 247Sports Crystal Ball to be submitted, what’s working in Michigan’s favor with five-star defensive end Zach Harrison, how five-star athlete Quavaris Crouch’s latest visit to Ann Arbor went and more. After that, the two tackle some team-related questions, including how Michigan should handle its backup quarterbacks after Dylan McCaffrey’s injury last weekend, what the Wolverines’ offensive line depth looks like moving forward, Josh Uche’s emergence and more. Finally, they preview Michigan’s matchup against Rutgers using their weekly over-under game, forecasting what they both believe will be a lopsided matchup.
