Summary
In this episode, 247Sports' Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga unpack some of the biggest storylines stemming from the Fiesta Bowl media week, and what it means for the No. 2 Michigan football team in the College Football Playoff.
The two open with some discussion about the Wolverines' offensive line. They discuss the moment in the spotlight the group got all week, what they learned about how the offensive line has been crafted and why Michigan is unflinching about its offensive identity in Saturday's game as a result.
The two then pivot the discussion to Michigan's defense, looking at the group's high expectations, multitude of challenges they're facing against TCU and some of the coaches' and players' comments.
They then close with a discussion of how mission-oriented Michigan has been this week, indicating an even more focused mindset than last year.
