Tony and Andrew are back to discuss what went wrong for Michigan football in its 27-9 loss to the Buckeyes. Does this mean Michigan needs to reinvent itself under Sherrone Moore after losing its three biggest games this year? And what would that look like? Then the guys talk about freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and why his growth seemed to stunt in the second half of the season. Is this another sign that Michigan needs to evolve offensively? Plus, Tony breaks down Michigan's 2026 recruiting class and some of the big names the Wolverines were able to land to help them sit just outside the top-10 nationally in another really solid class for Moore. And last but not least, the guys had to talk about Michigan basketball's routing of San Diego State, Auburn and Gonzaga in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, where the Wolverines put together about as impressive of a three-game stretch as possible. Just how sustainable is it? Read all about the Michigan Wolverines by heading to our website at freep.com/sports.
