Summary
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the key storylines and players they are watching from Michigan football's 2022 Spring Game.
They begin by looking at the team-wide storylines on offense, including a dearth of running back depth, a surplus of talented wide receivers and some new-ish faces along the offensive line. They then turn their attention to the defense, looking at a thin and inexperienced linebacker room, along with Michigan's need for new faces both in the secondary along the defensive line.
In the second half of the show, they also look at some key freshmen and non-freshmen who the two are keeping an eye on for the game, rounding out a conversation of nearly every position group.
