Summary
Following the Michigan football team's 31-10 victory over Washington Saturday night, we look at some of the key takeaways and talking points from the game.
Along the way we discuss several topics covering the scope of what happened and what it means. We examine Michigan's decision to run the ball 56 times, as well as how the Wolverines were able to run the ball so effectively. We discuss if the offense was "boring," in addition to how troublesome Michigan's passing game was. We discuss Michigan's fast-improving defense, and our standouts on both sides of the ball.
We look at how recruits will react to a gigantic recruiting weekend, take a quick check-in on expectations for the Wolverines in the coming weeks and address a few other smaller topics.

| 0:41.0 | Steve, I think obviously the big takeaway from this game, |
| 0:45.1 | really impressive run game. |
| 0:49.2 | And I've mentioned on this podcast a few times, |
| 0:51.1 | I think this team is going to be, |
| 0:54.1 | quote, unquote, boring a little bit in the sense that I do think they have |
| 0:56.1 | the personnel and the talent and the inclination to really just be a physical run game |

| 1:14.5 | 6.1 yards per carry. And that's including a couple big plays, but it's also including a |
| 1:19.0 | couple things at the end of the game where they're obviously just killing clock. And so, |
| 1:23.3 | yeah, I thought it was, I mean, it was very Wisconsin-esque. |
