Summary
In this episode, we recap the Michigan football team's 63-10 win over Northern Illinois, along with taking a more macro look at the Wolverines' 3-0 performance in non-conference play.
We begin by taking a look at our biggest lasting thoughts from Michigan's blowout win. We discuss Blake Corum's continued success, the ascension of Daylen Baldwin and Cornelius Johnson, a consistent performance from the Wolverines' defense and if Michigan answered the bell in the passing game.
Next, we expand our discussion to the entire month so far, breaking down what we learned and what has surprised us so far about Michigan through three games. We look at the Wolverines' offensive line, defensive line and contributions from underclassmen.
We close the episode by looking at remaining questions about Michigan heading into Big Ten play, and debating if the Wolverines' 3-0 start was dominant enough to change expectations for the season.
