Summary
Previewing the No. 14 Michigan football team’s road trip to Maryland, we broke down three key questions for the matchup, and did our weekly over-under preview.
Our first question, in which we disagreed on the answer, is what Michigan’s offensive approach should be against the Terrapins. Shaw argued that the Wolverines should push to try and air it out, while Lorenz made the case for Michigan continuing to develop its run game. Both kept an eye on bigger games in the season, with different outlooks on how the Wolverines can improve the most.
They both agreed on the second key question, centered around what Michigan’s defense can improve upon in the game. Both felt the Wolverines could showcase their ability to limit the big play if they contained Maryland playmakers such as Anthony McFarland and Javon Leake.
The two also discussed what Michigan can gain from a game like Saturday’s beyond a win. Both heavily felt Saturday should be used for Michigan to experiment with some of its younger, more talented players, while playing a complete game on the road served as a second element to keep in mind.
Finally, the duo previewed the matchup with their weekly over-unders, and offered their predictions for the game.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for ultimately Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. |
| 0:05.9 | I'm Zach Choss. Steve Lorenz is here with me. We're talking Michigan at Maryland. Myself and Josh Newkirk will be there. |
| 0:13.8 | We'll be providing lots of on-site coverage. Some stories right before kickoff, you know, regarding injuries and other notes. |
| 0:21.1 | And then in-game updates, post-game stuff all through Saturday night and Sunday. |
| 0:28.1 | Sorry for the late podcast. There's some scheduling. |
| 0:31.3 | Let's shorten this, though. I would make it short and sweet. |
| 0:34.6 | Three key questions. And then we'll do our over-under lightning round at the end. |
| 0:39.5 | But Steve, I think the big question that I've been pondering all week is what does Michigan's |
| 0:45.6 | offensive approach look like in a game like this? |
| 0:49.1 | You know, we mentioned in the podcast on Monday that they really have four weeks to figure out what they're going to |
| 0:57.3 | do with this team because they're probably going to win the next three games. We think that |
| 1:02.2 | they'll win at Maryland. We think that they'll beat Michigan State at home after the bye week. |
| 1:06.8 | And then we think that the win at Indiana. And so probably getting nine wins. |
| 1:13.5 | But if they can get that 10th one against Ohio State, that's obviously a big game changer. |
| 1:18.6 | And so the question is, I think Michigan could beat Maryland running the ball or passing the ball. |
| 1:23.9 | Do you think that they would benefit more from pushing the pass, |
| 1:30.1 | or is this a game where maybe going with the run? |
| 1:34.1 | And bear in mind that they still have some freshman running backs |
| 1:37.0 | and Hassan Haskins, Christian Turner, and Zach Charbonnet, |
| 1:41.3 | and running less injuries, less, you know, opportunities for, say, if Maryland, you know, very, |
| 1:48.8 | a lot more interceptions than fumbles and, and you don't necessarily want to let teams get back |
