| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things, Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. I'm your host, Zach Shaw. |
| 0:07.6 | Steve Lorenz here with me talking Michigan's 31 to 6 win over Bowling Green in which the Wolverines moved to 3-0 on the season, finished non-conference play with a 96 to 16 scoring differential. |
| 0:22.2 | Seeing that we are recording this on Monday, you know, Steve and I are both talking, |
| 0:27.1 | probably going to shift to more of a big picture or medium picture episode. |
| 0:31.4 | You know, we're not going to sit here and pour over this play or that play against a Mac team. |

| 1:33.5 | interceptions, and we'll get to that. |
