In this week's episode, Al Borges returns to the breakdown series, and we welcome former Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English to the team (Vance Bedford will still make occasional guest appearances this season). The crew tackles a surprising opener in which Michigan survived Western Michigan with a controversial, last-second Hail Mary, but the Wolverines left their opener with far more questions than answers—and little time to find them before a massive showdown with Oklahoma. On this week's Michigan Football Breakdown, The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb joins former Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges and former defensive coordinator Ron English for a detailed film review of the good, bad, and ugly from Michigan's dramatic escape. Borges breaks down an offense that sputtered after an impressive opening drive, from third-down failures and problems handling defensive line movement to an inconsistent rushing attack and costly turnovers. At the center of the discussion is Bryce Underwood, as Borges analyzes the quarterback's reads, fundamentals, and decision-making, while the trio debates Kyle Whittingham's pointed declaration that Underwood remains the starter “right now”—and what it means for the length of his leash against Oklahoma. English takes the defense, explaining what he liked about a unit that surrendered only field goals despite playing 71 snaps, but also what must improve after Western sustained several long drives. That includes better communication and execution, more physical tackling, and doing a better job disguising coverages and tightening up pre-snap rotations so Oklahoma can't easily identify. He then tackles what the Wolverines must do to defend Oklahoma's dangerous quarterback, John Mateer. The crew lays out the most important fixes ahead of Week 2—and why the matchup with the Sooners could quickly become a season-shaping test for Underwood and the Wolverines.

In this week's episode, Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 27-9 loss to Ohio State. They highlighted the team's reliance on the run game early, which led to initial success with runs of 36, 21, and 22 yards. However, the offense struggled to maintain balance, with only one first-down pass in the first half. Borges noted the need for more quarterback-dependent plays and better third-down execution. He graded the offensive line, tight ends, running backs, quarterback, and wide receivers, assigning grades ranging from D to C+. He emphasized the importance of developing the quarterback and offensive line for future success. He also discussed a potential spring practice plan for Bryce Underwood, emphasizing the importance of fundamental drills and game-relevant scenarios. The conversation concluded with light-hearted banter about Borges' potential return to the coaching staff.

In this week's episode Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 31-20 victory over Michigan State. They highlighted impressive schematic adjustments in the run game, and detailed the struggles in the passing game. Borges attributed five failed plays to effective MSU coverage, while identifying various other factors contributing to Michigan's other passing difficulties. He noted that only one RPO was thrown out of 16 called and pointed out the inability to turn protection to account for nickel blitzes. That focused discussion on approaches that will foster comfort in the pocket for in freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, and the importance of exercising patience as he navigates the typical developmental process experienced by first-year players. Additionally, the conversation addressed misconceptions, such as the notion that tight ends were not targeted—they were primary receivers on five plays, including two potential touchdowns—and clarified that any conservative elements in the game plan resulted from in-game adaptations rather than predetermined strategy. Borges underscored a significant halftime adjustment in the run game, which enabled Michigan to amass 270 rushing yards, primarily through effective use of double slice and double bluff plays, thus offsetting shortcomings in the passing attack.
