The Shutdown starts at 1:00 Two weeks(?) without Michigan athletics because somebody wasn’t quarantined after coming home from the U.K. We discuss why it was necessary to shut down, how it went down, and how it might play out. We’re just baffled that this failure was allowed to happen. The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. The Last Game starts at 18:50 Ugly game wasn’t that ugly unless you’re talking about Purdue’s shooting stats, which were a combination of Dickinson dominating Williams and the Boilers not having a Sasha Stefanovich to convert threes. It’s right that they went 2/18 because look how many of those were from terrible shooters. Seth likes that you can put Austin Davis out there against virtually anybody and score one for one, which eats up important minutes when you’re up by 11. 3. WBB and Hockey starts at 43:48 Naz goes off for 50, brings Michigan back from down 16 but they lose because they’re out a Brown and the other can’t hit her threes. Nobody scored past the top four. Hockey looks good on NBC, came out on fire, can’t get a call. 4. Hot Takes and Warinner React starts at 59:22 Seth is happy to have DeBord back. Think there’s some other shoe that dropped because no way you get rid of a guy like Ed Warinner on purpose. Offensive line coach and strength coach are coordinator-level positions.

The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. Hoops vs Wisconsin (the good one) starts at 19:39 Hoooooooly hoops. Mike Smith won’t back down. Eli Brooks shut you down. Isaiah Livers energy man and finding his role again. Chaundee Brown miserable to go against. Franz…oh man Franz is the freakiest freak show ever, in line for a badge upgrade on D.

Brian stans for Iowa, which they’re Iowa why are you getting into a shootout with them, Northwestern? Ohio State on an incredible luck streak. Rutgers on the receiving end of that luck streak. Penn State-Purdue was mostly entertaining for the Beilein memories. 4.

Eli loses a tooth so we get more Brown, like more Brown. Also like everything that Johns does except that he wont’ do more of it. Dickinson, oh Dickinson. Smith staying in front of Carr means he’s legit okay at defense now? Finding nits to pick in lieu of the canceled game against the picking Nits. 3. Big Ten Hoops starts at 51:10 This segment is not entirely making fun of Michigan State, but there’s a lot of making of Tom Izzo’s insane roster management. Indiana is making everything out of one guy, often late in the clock. Illinois opponents found out how to slow down Ayo, and Kofi’s not getting the ball enough. Minnesota churning out disaster factory candidates. Iowa gonna Iowa. Ohio State again gets a Rutgers game with Myles Johnson in early foul trouble—nice to see something go that athletic department’s way for once. Wisconsin is interesting but beatable. 4. Hot Takes, WBB, and Hockey starts at 1:44:40 With everybody out for COVID we have the Naz game. Might be putting too much on Dilk. Hailey Brown has been stepping up in Leigha Brown’s absence but the ceiling on this team is much lower without key parts of their roster. In hockey, an 11-3 weekend went almost as badly as it could, with the hockey gods awarding MSU goals on their first, penultimate, and last shots in a game Michigan otherwise dominated. Blech.

Northwestern Recap starts at 1:00 Michigan is so hard to strategize for. Hunter Dickinson demands a double, and you can't double him. Running horns with a high-low—incredible that they're already on the back end of the playbook at this point in the program. Rules say you can't do a pullup on the rim but Seth is still mad they T'd up Chaundee. Announcers versus added probabilities. The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. Maryland Recap starts at 36:22 Serious discussion on whether Hunter Dickinson has ties to the Ukranian mafia. Michigan goes 2-3 zone and sticks with it, and Michigan goes on a run. Dickinson's flex earns an awful technical. Maryland shoots the lights out and still can't compete. Having a hard time not saying things about Juwan that are fair for a 2nd year coach. 3. Harbaugh's NFL Flirtation starts at 1:12:40 Toledo reporter Jordan Strack has it on good sources that Harbaugh's looking around at NFL jobs, and probably would prefer to take one if they call.

This is a supplemental podcast. Normally we use a bye week to preview the upcoming basketball season. But since we had none, we recorded segments across various MGoPodcast sessions. Here they are together, plus two more segments on opponents and Michigan's place in the pecking order that we recorded just for this episode. We are, as always, presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan I might be doing a podcast on how the election might affect environmental regulations in water & wastewater. Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, and Information Entropy. 1. The Guards starts at 1:00 A bit shaky situation but a lot of options. Mike Smith is hard to extrapolate because he's a spot-up shooter in a bad league who probably should have had more assists if his guys could convert at all. Small so may be a defensive liability. For those situations you have Eli Brooks, who goes on Three-li streaks and brings a defensive presence, but we can directly correlate his shooting to bad defenses, and his floater hasn't happened yet. At the two we're probably looking at Chandee Brown and Franz Wagner (when he's not the three). Franz came on late last with his drives, though he's going to need to be much more of a creator. Hope the wrist injury explains the shooting issues. Defense really came along—still growing and has those gumby arms. Down-roster contributions as they come: can Nunez at least be a shooter? Can we get more than freshman stuff out of Zeb Jackson? [The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. The Wings starts at 22:07 They have a lot of guys with a lot of length. If Franz is really 6'10" now he fits in here or as a very weird guard. Livers and Chaundee Brown give them. 3. The Bigs and Rotation Predictions starts at 44:07 The minutes crunch pushes three potential starters into this spot. We think Johns is going to get the most minutes because he can quasi-start at the four along with all the wings, and gives them the best late-game opportunity. He's streaky. Big Country is a great slop-baller with legit post moves but limited defense. The wild card is the 7'1" freshman, who shoots left-handed, and can do so. 4. Around the Big Ten, Part I: The Lows and the Knives starts at 1:04:18 Year two is the second year zero under Hoiberg at Nebraska. Northwestern might be about to hit their floor. Penn State is back to being a dude and some guys. Maryland lost its two stars and hasn't recruited nor developed enough to function without that gravity. Minnesota is thin but we do like some of their roster's parts. Rutgers is back in headbands, and brings back nigh everybody, but can they continue to play so inspired in a quiet RAC? Indiana is their usual selves, and constructed terribly: who plays double bigs these days? Purdue, ah Purdue, you've got a center it was worth losing Haarms for, but you don't have two centers and the schedule is very compressed. 5. Around the Big Ten, Part II: The Contenders, and our Predictions starts at 1:33:15 Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, plus Michigan and where we think they'll land in the standings this year. Illinois is Maryland last year: a great guard and a great big, but not quite deep. Iowa is very deep at scoring, with the Kenpom Player of the Year Who Can't Defend leading the way, and some majorly important parts coming back. MSU is missing their PG and C but they're MSU and Izzo will have a new generation configured. Ohio State lost the Wessons but has an ace coach, might be too thin at center. Wisconsin can play five out so it doesn't matter that they're Wisconsin-level talent. Michigan is deep with a lot of options but there's no way to get a complete team on the court.

Offense/Clock Management/State of the Program starts at 1:00 All hail the Cade McNamara era, which began mid-way through the fifth game because. He's sharp, not perfect, and it's Rutgers. Also hail lead running back Hassan Haskins, whose cutbacks were the design of the play and righteous. Bell was a force everywhere but the stat sheet. We still can't pronounce Filiaga any better than he can block. Clock management was ludicrously bad. [The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. Hot Takes + Defense starts at 22:07 Let's read Vedral's passing stats. The biggest problem was Dax Hill; Seth thinks the coaching situation at safety is really showing. Ross was picked on until he got through the pick. Their 3-3-5 isn't a great pass defense either because the extra linebacker, Ben Van Sumeren, isn't very good in coverage. Cornerbacks were not a problem this time; small favors. The walk-on safety and linebacker were not issues either. 3. 2020 Hoops Preview: Bigs, and Rotation Predictions starts at 44:07 The minutes crunch pushes three potential starters into this spot. We think Johns is going to get the most minutes because he can quasi-start at the four along with all the wings, and gives them the best late-game opportunity. He's streaky.

Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:04:15 We actually have to talk about Ohio State this time because Indiana came within a touchdown in their top-ten matchup; Allen coached a masterful game but they had one too many mistakes to pull off the upset the top 49 states in the union were rooting for. Penn State started the new guy and benched him for the old guy, their OL is abysmal, and they should be favored (they're not). Nebraska wore their black shirts to be pants by Illinois. Northwestern's defense shut down Wisconsin because 72-year-old Hankins still run's Bo's defense in Evanston.

Even Moyle got a Hensick move on these guys. Defensemen hopping up, seeing Cam York the first rounder. Reality check line. All-effort line. Power play is unstoppable unless there's an extra stick on the ice, penalty kill had five shots and two breakaways vs six shots and zero scoring chances.

Our associate sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox and The Athletic 1. Hoops vs Maryland starts at 1:00 Why is scrub city always so good against Michigan? Part of it of course is they needed to guard Jalen Smith at the arc and that creates space for the other guys. Nothing Michigan can do about Cowan hitting those shots: the guards contested but they're shorter. Michigan hasn't shot above 30% for six games: Eli and Livers are 0/8 from three, meanwhile the guys the scouting report says to let them shoot are 6/8. Maryland looks good: cut to the sideline and (former Michigan assistant) DeAndre Haynes is calling all the shots. Franz! D.J. Carstenson gets to litigate another ripped jersey, after X hits a free throw, which means he fouls out halfway through his free throws and Teske has to take the 2nd. [The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2. Hoops vs Nebrasketball and Women's Hoops starts at 23:23 Somehow their PG has had three difference suspensions in the last five games. Sloppyball: Nebraska had 22 turnovers. More good from Bajema. Women vs. Nebraska: KBA autobenches Naz after two fouls, and she gets no more fouls as Michigan comes back in the second half. Hayley Brown, Michigan's stretch five, hit a huge three-pointer at the end. Not a lot of upsets: Michigan's 7/2 win over Northwestern might move them up off the 8/9 line, which should get them out of playing a 1 seed on their home court. 3. Juwan's First Year: The Feels starts at 41:33 There was a point in the season we were going to win the national title and an upset over Louisville away from being the #1 team in the country, and there was a point where we thought we were going to fall out of the playoffs. Went too far to making Jon Teske a paint guy and lost his pick and roll efficiency. Eli and Big Country earned roles on next year's team. DDJ became a much better defender and looks like a potential breakout guy next year. Livers slumped after his third (ankle) injury, trying to make things happen when he's the guy who needs to let the game come to him—going to be awesome as a complementary piece next year. Their two-point % despite not having a rim guy tells you how well they've been running stuff. Next year: Todd is a 7-foot Franz Wagner, more sticks than Sticks, Hunter Dickinson is huge, and you know what you're getting from Austin Davis. Will Castleton develop? Long-term: program could be Villanova. 4. Hockey starts at 1:20:53 Smack dab on the NCAA bubble after a pair of 3-0 wins over MSU in the BTT. Beating Ohio State basically locks up a bid, and losing makes them 40% or less to get an at-large. RPI margins are razor-thin: 11th to 17th are all basically tied. Wish we had another year of Hayhurst after he blew up in the 2nd half of the season. Mann > Hunwick? Brian: You guys might be right, but I'll never admit it.

Castleton hesitated on his corner three attempt. Very matchup-dependent team. Livers discussion: not great in the lane, stay in your role. [The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump] 2.

All those dunks and layups all come from sticking to this insane strategy of high hedging vs X, even after Michigan had 41 points because of it at halftime. Everyone except the centers had a 128+ and after Franz they're all in 140. IU's three-big lineup leads to Michigan going zone. That Davis guy went 9/9, with more than half of them garbage buckets. Brandon Johns is like a cornerback with closing speed: closing feet! 2. Hoops vs Northwestern starts at 26:21 When you can get Dikembe Mutumbo and World Wide Wes to Welsch-Ryan Arena, you have basketball pull. Leads to a discussion of bag, and hopefully NIL comes soon so it's moot. Chicago's Big Ten Team looked like they didn't care except that one backup center canning uncanny jumpers.

Turned on some rebounding potential. Comp? Michigan finally wins from the 3 point line. Nice to have Livers back, not just because Johns is a very good backup 4. Michigan renders Bingham useless—Johns and Davis could body him, and Livers means he can't be on the floor for spacing otherwise. Izzo's whiny bitch fest of a press conference. Why does anyone play for that guy? 2. Hoops vs Ohio State starts at 25:46 The most insane call we've ever seen—doesn't help the refs that their explanation for the call is patently untrue. Complete officiating debacle—Kaleb Wesson should have fouled out—you literally can't take a charge if the guy is in the air before you get there! Bad both ways yes but asymmetric, and good lord. When's the last time Michigan ever got a gift game, because we have to eat 3 or 4 losses a year. Michigan is 96th %ile in short clock plays. Questionable coaching: drop coverage on Kaleb Wesson. Peak this season is cursed. 3. Hot Takes and Mark Dantonio starts at 45:32 The XFL: a lot of good ideas for entertaining football. Seems like this league is set up for more success than previous ones. Kickoffs are cool, punting is bad, "Team 9" league-wide practice squad.

Tom Mars is involved now. If Blackwell comes out clean here Michigan should hire him! MSU job: inheriting a rogue program after its best coach with two years of cratered recruiting.

Control their own destiny to win the league (have to win 6 in a row) but still outside looking in on tournament. They've improving: get the puck out of the zone cleaner, playing solid.

Michigan turned it over 16 times and gave up 36 offensive rebounds and won because finally someone didn't shoot 50% from three on them. They did it by being more Rutgers than any other previous Rutgers: putting up contested bad shots galore. The Johns game! Having a rim-runner who can hit free throws is important. He also nailed the shot after the long pass sequence. 2. Nebraska at Lincoln starts at 26:52 Wagner was taller than everybody but their center, who's not good. Their backup center was hitting stupid jacks at 50% when he wasn't stepping out of bounds. Cam Mack also went 5/7 from beyond the arc in this game. But since they're Nebraska, they have no size, no defense, and no way to keep Michigan off the boards. Eli Brooks saves the offense! Frustrated by Teske's lack of aggression so they go with Johns post-ups. Bajema: we think they can get a redshirt if he doesn't play again, and documents an injury. 3.

Brad Davison, the crewcut psycho, sits out against MSU and Wisconsin still beats them. UW is also without Kobe King the rest of the year. OSU is without DJ Carton. Illinois is going to win the league—they've played good teams and they've changed up how they play defense, and everyone else murdered each other. OSU preview: Wesson lost weight, lost some of his post presence, gained an incredible three. They shoot a lot—please don't be unlucky again. 4. Ace's Ohio State Hockey Podcast starts at 1:06:46 They won on Friday and didn't move up in Pairwise because everyone else won and it was a home game.

Debate between the everything is explainable and some things are random people. Eli, Johns are like Mo's three: if the first goes down we have it tonight. Michigan during this skid has been the 350th team in college basketball at threes. X did not attempt one. Two-for-one possessions. Sick of getting just random off-the-dribble mastery by 25% shooters when our 40%ers can't hit a wide open catch and shoot three. 2. Penn State and Bad Luck vs. Michigan starts at 23:32 Michigan was 2/20 on catch-and-shoot threes (the ones you want), in this game. Myles Dread is getting ice cream of the future, weird and-ones, Curtis Jones has the game of his college career, because life is crazy like that. Is there a guy on their roster with peg leg? That guy's going off. 3. Hot Takes and Wide View starts at 36:44 Dave's ringtone is just a choking sound. Delete the three point line. How mad are we about this season? Not very: this was a fragile team that lost Iggy and Poole and its coach and therefore couldn't afford to lose Livers. Things that tie to coaching point up from preseason expectations. Recruiting better than best-case scenario. Bags? Christopher is a guy who has cachet that Isaiah Todd does not—Todd you're catching in the early part of his development while Christopher is a 5-star because he's an immediate dude in college. Also: Hunter Dickinson, who's Teske. Williams projects as a four-year guy whom the other schools are always like "When is this guy gonna leave?" after he gets a critical offensive rebound again. Enjoy Rutgers Basketball this year because they're having our season. 4. Ace's Hockey Podcast starts at 1:12:06 Old Fashioned road three points: 6-0 win and then a penalty-crazy Saturday. Significantly outplayed Penn State in the first game, got that pugilistic second game. They don't have the shooting or luck so their low shooting % was killing them—it's like going against a better goalie than Strauss Mann every game. Get even luck and they're a top of the Big Ten team, and that's what happened against Penn State and Notre Dame. Tying goal by PSU was such bad luck. They're good in Corsi, not giving up bad goals, generating good looks, don't have dangerous scorers and that's a weakness. Too late probably for this year but trending up for when the cavalry arrives. US game: watching Thomas Bordeleaux, who's gonna be a creator, but isn't flashy.

Hoops vs Minnesota starts at 1:00 Michigan's worst defensive game in a very long time. Teske got run by Cockburn, Williams, Garza, and Oturu—just not Tillman. Marcus Carr is finishing through Teske's chest in this game. Why aren't they doubling? Especially in this game? Other things: Wagner finding a groove, still can't muscle guys. He's not a 4: guy Livers should have been guarding can muscle a freshman Wagner. Eli has to hit his open threes or they need to let DDJ start. Juwan's stubbornly sticking to his rotation despite ample evidence at this point that Nunez can't be out there. 2. Hot Takes and Purdue starts at 27:02 Let C.J. cook! Trevion Williams puts up a career game, as one does. Teske made it difficult-ish on Williams, who had the game of his life. But if you're going to double off anyone it's the team with Aaron Wheeler and Nojel Eastern. Losing Haarms opens the door for Michigan to run their three-guard lineup, and Simpson goes 8/8 of two after that. Both teams were turning it over at first then it became a pretty good game. It looks like a Beilein team now. 3. Gimmicky Top Five: Most Terrifying Things in the Big Ten This Year starts at 45:34 Rutgers. Let the peacock fly! That joke this week man. I would like to see Michigan not give up career highs to every center they face. Is it fun or horrifying to cover a Big Ten this good? Ibi Watson is shooting 49% on threes. 4. Ace's Hockey Podcast starts at 1:12:50 Sweep of Notre Dame that felt like all the rest of their games this year except the result. Straus Mann is a good goalie (ND has one too)! Big Ten has one team that's talented, Wisconsin, and they're terrible on defense. Recruiting is better than basketball.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, Perrin Brewing, and The Athletic (this link gets you 40% off your sub) [After THE JUMP: the player and what we said] -------------------------------------------- 1.Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz: Offense starts at 1:00 QB is a tough position for Michigan because of JD Johnson’s medical retirement. Tried CJ Stroud, but he picked OSU. Have offered Dan Villari instead, a hyper athletic bigger guy and only a three star. Should go to Michigan. Michigan signed Blake Corum at RB, a borderline top 100 type who they had to hold off from OSU. Jay Harbaugh is the most underrated recruiter on the coaching staff. Corum is totally different than Haskins, Turner, and Charbonnet, built more like an OSU running back. RB has gone from the biggest question on the roster to maybe the deepest on the team. Gaige Garcia is nominally still in the class but on a wrestling scholarship, Tru Wilson might be best case scenario. AJ Henning is an ideal slot receiver for Gattis. Will probably play next season in the Giles Jackson mold. Eamonn Dennis is one of the likely sleeper picks of the class, a lot of similarities to Sainristil, also a Massachusetts guy and could play CB. Michigan’s scouting has been pretty good recently. Roman Wilson was a spring bloomer, also very fast. This could be Michigan’s fastest class ever. At TE, Matthew Hibner shot up the ranks but fell just short of 4* composite- 247 likes him a lot more. Hurt to lose Theo Johnson but Hibner makes it hurt less. Nick Patterson is probably not joining the class. Not as big of an OL class as last year, this is more of a supplemental class. Michigan had to beat ND to get Reece Atteberry. Jeffery Persi is a Greg Frey type and is Seth’s sleeper of the class. 2. Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz: Defense starts at 25:20 Braiden McGregor was the crown jewel of this recruiting class, Michigan beat ND for him. Temper expectations for McGregor in year one because of a knee issue. McGregor often played all over the DL in HS. Aaron Lewis is a Kwitty Paye type DE. Already a DE logjam going into next year, not a lot of rush for either to play. Kris Jenkins projects to DT as long as he puts on some weight. Michigan hasn’t neglected DT at recruiting, signed two top tier guys last year. Jaylen Harrell was a late pickup, a borderline top 300 edge with good bend in the Uche mold. Michigan chose Harrell over Van Filinger. Kalel Mullings is a good MLB prospect who has comparisons to Anthony Solomon as a freshman, should play special teams. Osman Savage is a guy that Michigan loved from the first satellite camps. Mohan has a ton of athletic potential who could be the next heir to the Devin Bush/Cam McGrone throne. Senior film for a lot of the linebackers was terrific and reassured Lorenz about a lot of them. Versatility is a theme on defense now. Jordan Morant has some Khaleke-type tape, Michigan fought hard to hang onto him. RJ Moten is more of a pure safety. Paige is a high floor guy, safe bet to be solid. Andre Seldon is a little short and has been playing both corner and safety, good athlete. If he was two inches taller, he’d be a 5 star, has great coverage instincts. Dorian Green-Warren will commit to a team (Michigan favored) at Army game, should enroll early. 3. Superlatives, with Adam Schnepp starts at 52:25 Overall this is an underrated class, with not a ton of big names. Hard to talk recruiting with people that don’t know a lot this year. Adam, Seth, and David go through their picks for biggest whiff, biggest recruiting win, favorite prospect, and more. 4. Five Questions, Five Answers, with Adam Schnepp starts at 1:19:22 David has to bail for this segment so it’s just Seth and Adam. Michigan seems to be more interested in converting strong side DE’s into DT’s than recruiting DT’s straight up. Michigan needs to beat OSU and make the playoffs to get top tier recruits. Coaching staff seems to be doing more scouting than going after five stars recently. Michigan will probably be okay at QB, may need to rely on a grad transfer at some point. Some great names in the 2021 recruiting class, and Michigan has a 5* QB leading it off. MUSIC: I've been waiting all year to do this: Ann Arbor native (and friend of the family) Andr Mayer Hawthorne!

Battle 4 Atlantis Recap with Ace starts at 25:20 Is there a roof on the ceiling? No. Ace was impressed with the defensive turnaround between UNC and Gonzaga. There’s still a lot of low hanging fruit with this team: Franz being worked in, Simpson turnover rate quite high even after a strong weekend. Eli Brooks is a revelation, an excellent defender. Has any Michigan player progressed faster in one year than Brooks? Livers does not need a lot of space to get a shot up any more. Not facing many late shot clock situations. Michigan doesn’t allow you to take threes or have assists, they want you to shoot iso twos. Seemed like they got the short end of the stick when it comes to refereeing, fouls should go down when that corrects itself. No nervousness when Castleton comes into the game. If Michigan can beat Louisville… 3. OL Discussion wsg Thomas Guynes starts at 52:25 Discussion about the OL at Michigan and across the B1G. Michigan doing better on twists on the interior, still struggling to move the line of scrimmage at times. An overarching theme in college football: a lack of competition. Who has Bama played? Who has Chase Young faced in terms of great OT’s? Haskins is the #1 at running back right now. 4. Indiana Recap and Ohio State preview starts at 1:19:22 Indiana dinked and dunked quite a bit but their drives came to a quick end when Hutchinson, Paye, and Uche came off the edges. Michigan didn’t really respect Indiana’s interior OL. Shea was dealing on offense, we haven’t seen that guy in awhile. For the first time all season, Shea felt good enough to beat to OSU. Michigan did some new RPO stuff to confuse Indiana, getting them out quick enough to potentially avoid Chase Young. Ohio State has been dominant this season, and it starts with Chase Young, because there isn’t a ton else in the pass rush outside of Young. Of Davon Hamilton’s 4 sacks, 3 are against Maryland and Rutgers. Michigan needs to focus on Young and hope they have enough time to hit some downfield shots to make the defense loosen up. Corners Wade and Arnette grade out as okay but not great in PFF. Even if Okudah is on Nico, you still have to try. Linebackers are better but more exploitable to the RPO. Weather will probably be insignificant. Fields has minor ankle and thumb issues. Seth isn’t as impressed with the OSU OL. They spread it out and let Fields run it.

Across the Crooked Blue Line, with Steve Lorenz starts at 1:00 Steve Lorenz of 247 comes onto the podcast to talk about Michigan football recruiting, including the hunt for a QB, TE, and a CB. 2. Hoops So Far, with Craig Ross starts at 25:20 Craig was right about Eli Brooks proving himself as a real player. Matt D thinks Brooks is Michigan’s best defender, Craig thinks it’s Teske. Defensive rebounding is rough but sample size. A glimmer of hope with David DeJulius. Little bits from Johns, Castleton, and Nuñez with Franz in the wing. The big question: can rebounding get better? Turnovers? Can the 3 guard lineup work? It’s working for Ohio State, with DeJulius playing better it could for Michigan. When Franz comes back he should get a lot of the Nuñez minutes and then some. Craig thinks OSU is the real deal. Purdue can’t shoot right now, should still make the tournament. Maryland’s 3 point shooting needs to be better, as does their free throw shooting. Pieces are there, but they’re Maryland. Elon seems to be a better team than advertised. App State isn’t bad. Both of those are better than Houston Baptist. Creighton is a top 40-50 team. 3. Michigan State After UFR starts at 52:25 Michigan’s game plan was just toying with MSU. Michigan got to the edge frequently, getting 175 yards off of those and had a few RPO’s for 44 yards. Diverted the attention away from Willekes and Raequan Williams. There wasn’t much double A-gap blitz from MSU. State seemed surprised by the RPO’s like this is still 2015. Ronnie Bell had a phenomenal game, especially blocking. WR blocking as a whole was great. Bubble screens, end arounds to test the edges set up by blocking. Michigan is probably going to have to replace two wide receivers in the offseason and Brian feels okay about it. Michigan ran zero pin and pulls, while MSU probably practiced against it constantly. Patterson’s stats were great but he didn’t grade out well due to accuracy. Got bailed out by receivers, but not many bad reads. Defensively: not much to say. Metellus loses the plot a couple of times and a there’s a TD early but not many other negative things. Defensive ends being so good has allowed Michigan to mask some of the deficiencies at DT. Khaleke Hudson is now the greatest punt block guy in Michigan history. 4. Indiana Preview starts at 1:19:22 This is probably the best Indiana in a long time. A trap game except everyone respects Indiana. Peyton Ramsey is back at QB while WR Whop Phylior is in concussion protocol and TBD. Nick Westbrook is somehow still at Indiana. All of their WR’s are loping downhill guys. Stevie Scott is back at RB, he’s just Big De’Veon Smith. They don’t get a lot of big runs and Michigan is good at preventing them. They might hammer away for four yards at a time but the interior OL is bad. Michigan will probably be in the 3-3-5 a lot. Indiana goes 5 wide all the time but it’s mostly dink and dunk. Seth is adamant that Michigan is a bad matchup for Indiana. The defense is not talented but well coached. Tiawan Mullen is a great corner and is a true freshman. Indiana is highly dependent on blitzing to get pass rush, which is good for Michigan since M is great at blitz pickups. MUSIC: The Lucky So & Sos are a Washington DC-based jazz/funk/hip hop band.

The State of State and the Offense starts at 1:00 It's over. Without the most unlikely finish in the history of football, Dantonio is 1-4 against Michigan, and that win is with five interceptions from John O'Korn. They lose the best parts of this team, their recruiting is worse than Tulane, and he's about to sit for a deposition. Who's taking over? Secret Santa to decide who's offensive coordinator. After the shaky start they score on every drive. A relief to see Michigan come into a game like this and attack the secondary. Patterson buys time productively. Feeling good about Gattis now, which is important: can't keep going through coordinators. Counterpunches to the way MSU plays so aggressively against the run. Flare screens put LBs in conflict. Cornelius Johnson: brilliant play design. Guz Malzahn ran that play to beat Alabama. DPJ dumpoffs working because Sparty safeties are not 5-star athletes. Transcontinental: shoulda thrown it to McKeon. MSU's top tacklers were all in the back seven. 2. Defense and the starts at 30:03 First late hit on DPJ was not a late hit. Aiden Hutchinson gets a PF for one shove in a mess around the goalie. Cody White and Luke Campbell got PFs for the same play: White got it for taunting. Black got one for flexing at nobody. Lavert Hill: one arm flex is okay even if you stop the play on purpose to do it. Jacub Panasiuk is the guy who on two separate instances tried to get Michigan injured: twisted Higdon's leg (Higdon got flagged) and tried to break Ruiz's ACL (Onwenu got flagged) last year. Defense: says something that MSU's first play (and one of their better ones) was a backwards pass they fumbled. Max run by MSU is 4 yards—Michigan's defense this year isn't a TFL fest but they make it work by being stingy after a yard. Khaleke Hudson shatter machine tag: reactivated. They got off the bus with their helmets on. Is that not the most little brother thing? Are they going to get out of bed with their helmets on? Sonny the equipment manager designed the pants and had a Bo hat on the statue while the game was on. Brian: I just thought they took Giles Jackson's pants. MOVE! and line shift worked again, turned a 4th and 1 into a punt block. Seniors are unloading on MSU on Twitter. Ambry Thomas is literally undefeated against blocks when this is what we were concerned about coming out of high school and he had the stomach issue. Dax Hill DPI: receiver is fighting to get somewhere but it's not the ball: Dax has won over the top of the route. Especially frustrating coming off the PI they didn't call on Nico. #FreeJulianBarnett 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, Game Theory, and Hoops starts at 58:15 I need you to be as angry as a Panasiuk down 38 points. Fixing the environment in Crisler by filling the lower bowl. Harbaugh's WWE-style callout. Khaleke Hudson passes Marquise Walker as the greatest punt-blocker in Michigan history. Used Giles Jackson well in this game. Game Theory: 4th and 3 was a good idea, got a DPI, not M's fault it wasn't flagged. Creighton: M managed to slow the game down. Nunez defensive liability, can see his shooting, is a placeholder for Franz. Eli Brooks is a trend. DDJ is coming on. Want to be up-tempo but Pink Teske problem nerfs that. Played Bajema. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:35:06 Flexing with one arm to avoid a personal foul. Northwestern won by 39, line moved to under that but if you got it on 40 you were brutally wrong. Iowa fluked away the Gophers. Jonathan Taylor has reached the records part of the season. The 21 points to Rutgers is the most Ohio State has given up all year. Johnny Langan even got a 1st quarter TD. MUSIC: "That's Where You're Wrong"—Arctic Monkeys "Humble"—Kendrick Lamar "God's Gonna Cut You Down"–Johnny Cash “Across 110th Street”

Maryland After UFR starts at 1:00 Patterson started well with accuracy and then really trailed off. Without a credible QB running threat, running out of the shotgun is only going to be mediocre and that’s where we’re at. They left Shea’s running in the garage. Brian not optimistic that it will all come together against a very good defense. Had a trap that was just power. This feels more and more like a Harbaugh run game week by week. Backs are going to need to be willing to cut up field if the pin and pull is now the base running game. Anthony McFarland stiffarmed McGrone. Mike Danna had a very nice game but unfortunately he’s going to be gone next year, will probably get drafted. Uche probably going to the NFL too. Vincent Gray had the best coverage of his career. 2. Gimmicky Top 5 things that are irretrievably broken starts at 24:04 We count down the top 5 things that are irretrievably broken. 3. MSU Preview: Offense starts at 1:08:32 OL has 3 guys who are definitely out, one guy sat out last week. Started two true freshman last week and starting a guard at RT. Devontae Dobbs seems to be hurt which is why he’s not starting on the offensive line. Top WR Darrell Stewart is out for this game, while their top TE is out for the year following Illinois. Two backup running backs are starting after a bunch of transfers, one of them looks like a dude: Elijah Collins. Receivers are Cody White and not much beyond that. Lewerke was doing a lot of running against Illinois. 4. MSU Preview: Defense starts at 1:25:24 MSU’s defense has taken a step back from dominant to just good. Seth thinks it’s because they lost an NFL safety and replaced him with Xavier Henderson. Panasiuk-Williams-Willekes are a good defensive front but weakness now without Bachie. Just run power away from Willikes. Antjuan Simmons is good when he doesn’t have to think in the viper-like position. DT’s are really good. Josh Butler and Tre Person are not very good corners. Nico is going to be open. Nico Collins needs to get 15 targets. Their kicker has been wonky this season. MUSIC: Neco Redd, a neo-soul artist from the West side of Detroit.

Basketball starts at 1:00 Recapping a Sparty No! for the ages. From the 4th and 16 pass to Illinois's version of Nico Collins, to keeping an obviously concussed Lewerke on the field for a pick six, to extending Illinois on 4th down by tackling their receiver in the end zone. Hoops vs Appalachian State. Nunez is a great shoo—oh he committed another foul. Wings: thin until Wagner can play. Ivory Towers lineup and three guard lineup tested. Eli Brooks more like Three-li Brooks: confident and can run the offense! Concern is for people who haven't seen Zavier Simpson play the last three seasons. Livers not off the dribble. Teske! Looked like a murderpost for the first half. Using his passing, saving his energy with the new pick & roll defense? Michigan going to try to draw fouls again!

Defense looks organized. Fixed some of the things that needed to be fixed, except the power play. Don't yet have the talent to be the team they want to, and don't have the experience to be a good not talented team. Next year there's going to be some totally rad dudes. 4.

Can't count Purdue right now. Need to talk about David Bell, who's kind of a dude already. John L. Smith and Brady Hoke were better in their last four years than MSU. They're running arc read. Brian Ferentz invented the quarterback draw. Ohio State conspiracies: Chase Young gets suspended, he's from Maryland, and Young's DeMatha HC is a Maryland assistant; corroborated by onside kicks and more running up the score.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Tip your Uber drivers. Bifurcation of the fanbase between people defending Shea Patterson and those blaming him for everything. Liked the called QB run and the direct snap near the goal line. McCaffrey takes are too harsh. Are we disappointed? Sorta? 2. The Defense starts at 32:35 Another sub-200 yard day obliterated by garbage time. Shutout also obliterated by the return. Feel bad because they were running Counter and our DTs aren't doing anything on them. Buying stock in NOT Booger McFarland's kid: stiffarmed McGrone. Josh Ross dressed, did not play, so redshirt still available. Metellus was playing down, they got him on the 3rd and 1. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 48:38 A return! Barrett buried a guy. Blocked punt on Maryland's left?-legged guy? They have a righty and a lefty. Quinn Nordin made his first attempt of the year. Hurry sneak on a 4th down that wasn't necessary because a review was about to show the spot was a full yard and a half short. Fake punt! Nice to have a former running quarterback as your upback listed as a linebacker. Flying wedge FTW! No fake punts from the spread punt except the rollout/nobody's here thing. Griese didn't prepare hard for this game. Miss Spielman. 4. Hoops & Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:11:22 Zavier Simpson is an important guy: we knew this. The green light goes on a lot earlier: good for Livers, fine as long as it's not an off-the-dribble two. Brandon Johns looked pretty good. Is he aggressive enough to be the fourth banana? Yes. Bajema redshirt? Nunez did not look good on D. Pick and roll coverage is now dropping the center. Instead of double-byes, let's have Thanksgiving in peace. What a Big Ten week it was. Illinois-Rutgers! Illinois plays at an empty MSU next week! Brian wants Dantonio to circle his wagons for one more year but he's got a seven-hour deposition before they've got one running back and a Theo Day/Rocky Lombardi battle to start at quarterback—their AD is part of the Dantonio cabal so he could come back right? Didn't take long for Indiana to make fools of the Wildcat bettors. Nebraska's 400-pound guy deserved a TD. Martinez is playing bad quarterback.

Name & Image Rights, wsg Richard Hoeg of HoegLaw starts at 1:00 Richard Hoeg joins the podcast to the NCAA’s astoundingly retrograde response to the California bill, which doesn’t say what your mainstream articles blindly republished that it said. Read it for yourself! 2. Notre Dame After UFR starts at 43:21 At long last: last year’s run game, but with some speed in space stuff. Michigan ran power to defeat the ND scrape exchange. Spread run game went from very bad to very good when deleting a guy became possible. Urban Meyer is unfortunately very good at analyzing football. Most important question: why did it take this long? There were some inexplicable ND screw ups and shouldn’t be underestimated. Still, run game is much better than running inside zone over and over again against Army. On defense, not much to talk about because Ian Book was dreadful. Made one read and then scrambled out of clean pockets. Hill and Thomas are significantly better than Vincent Gray at this point in time. Cleanest game from a defense in UFR history. Not a lot of organic pass rush, which could be concerning down the road. Uche dropped into coverage a bit. ND unprepared for zone. McGrone just needs to get a bit smarter and then he’s Devin Bush. Redshirt for Josh Ross? 3. Hoops Exhibitions: What to Look For starts at 1:07:14 Big questions: how much does Castleton play and where? And who plays at the 2 (DDJ, Brooks, Nunez, Bajema). Nunez is probably not in that seriously, not a good enough defender. Brooks looked okay at the open scrimmage, good defender. DeJulius was low efficiency in the scrimmage but is going to be an off the dribble, needs to be a knock down shooter. Question for 3-4: where does Isaiah Livers play? Teske will play 30 mpg, Castleton will play minutes, but the question is if the two can play together. With Johns, we don’t know about his mental state. He had a lost year of development as a freshman. Hopefully Howard can work with him. Should make the tournament, will take some losses early. 4. Maryland starts at 1:29:57 Ghost of Matt Canada is still in Maryland. Super explosive but nothing else. Their receiving corps is Notre Dame: one big downfield guy and nothing else. OL is brutal. Their QB situation is a revolving door with Jackson and Piggy both sorta hurt and a really bad third option. Their pass defense is awful, littered with injuries. Jon Hoke is their defensive coordinator. DL is tiny up front. They also have no sacks. Will get to garbage time in a hurry.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Spanellis: They call him Spam. Michigan rushes for 200 yards in the rain in a half. Whams and traps: Old Harbaugh stuff comes back (*cough cough just like Seth said they should in Foe Film cough*). A new bubble action gets Charbonnet past the safeties—that's how you get chunks! Brought out Down G, a big play on an arc keeper. Eubanks gave a guy a hammer panda. Ruiz and Onwenu were excellent at picking up blitzes on pin & pull, where you have to stop and pick that guy off. Went back to what they did last year and it turns out they run it well. Throwing it to Nico: how many times does he get interfered with? Turner: despite fumble issues, let's fix that and get this guy back in the rotation. If you play Jim Harbaugh and he's running 80% of the time you had a bad day. 2. The Defense starts at 34:06 Michigan students are incredible towel-throwers. Agree it was harder to hit Cole Kmet than the camera. John O'Neill: the worst. Kelly got crap for throwing in a hurricane but he couldn't run either. Ian Book was bailing clean pockets. ND was running man beaters against Cover 2. Got crushed by Michigan's 3-3-5 stack even. Kemp had a great game. McGrone has Devin Bush speed with a greater physical package, but he's not a direct comparison: Bush has unreal anticipation too. The Hawkins INT taken away was a solid #2 all-time after the Northwestern call on Higdon. Brian Cook is the world's only John O'Neill defender. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 57:04 Low-hanging fruit from Texas Tech and Notre Dame. Okay with field goal because you could be in an Iowa-Northwestern situation. DPJ had to stop fielding pouncing footballs in the rain. Poncho take: get the pyramid kind with the arms inside because then you can go in a cocoon and go on Twitter. Sad ten-second runoff. Weather destroyed Book and they didn't have a plan B, but this was on par with Wisconsin/PSU wins last year. They've come a long way since last September. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:19:13 A lot of bad offenses, a lot of rain. Mick McCall vs Iowa goes how that matchup was going to—Reigning Big Ten West Champs Northwestern could not win any Big Ten games. Rutgers upsets Liberty—Johnny Langan don't go out like that to Hugh Freeze. Illinois has bowl eligibility in the likelihood column: has Rutgers and Northwestern (and MSU on the road). State scored (darn) but the beauty of Dantonio's quotes is… Hamler not going here is sad, the reason he gave for not going to MSU is beautiful. Julian Barnett transfer? Row the boat!

Penn State After UFR starts at 36:32 Defense: 283 yards but 28 points. All the yards on a few plays. Referee calls didn’t get better on review. Disappointing pass rush day. Drag route stops set up the damage down the field, safeties biting up. Hawkins busts on two TD’s. Michigan is bad at tempo. Time to roll with Dax Hill? Lavert Hill is still too grabby when he doesn’t need to be. Bubble screens effective but had some things go wrong. Michigan bouncing between a bunch of things and aren’t great at any one thing. Execution still lacks. Patterson’s reads still aren’t great, he isn’t keeping it enough. What were we working on all summer? Micah Parsons was phenomenal.

Don’t seem to be firing on all cylinders, especially in the passing game. Chase Claypool probably not underrated anymore. Chris Finke is back and is Drew Dileo. They are really good in pass protection according to PFF. Brian Kelly really doesn’t want to run. Michigan’s defense is pretty close to Georgia who did a good job against ND. Michigan’s defense should be fine. Offense more questionable. Can Runyan hold up against Okwara and Kareem? ND has great pass rushers. They deal with RPO’s like MSU does.

The Offense starts at 1:00 A few ways Michigan could have won. One would have been to catch the damn ball. Another would have been anything approximating even officiating because OMFG. Three would have been to recruit KJ Hamler. Bubble screens worked: yay. Shea had his best game this year but drops: DPJ had three. Great tradition wmith Herbstreit is when he does the downfield cam and sees nobody open when a lot of people are actually open. Why can't we run a screen? TE blocking problems. Finally they didn't fumble, and they dropped all the balls. 2. The Defense starts at 26:43 Give up 283 yards and more than half of that is on four plays, including the Freiermuth pushoff. Penn State targeted two wide receivers this game. A few bad matchups but seriously they shut them down. Michigan's not Ohio State good, and Ohio State is the only kind of team that can overcome a team as decent as Penn State getting the calls they got. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 41:52 Three horrible fourth down decisions. Punting on 4th and 1 in plus territory, and your punter is terrible at pinning guys deep! Punt on 4th and 3 in the deep 3rd quarter. Surprised Penn State didn't put Hamler back there for the 58-yard field goal when you don't have Nordin available (they did, then called a timeout). This is the stuff the rest of college football has fixed. Frames called timeout on himself when there's 21 seconds left and he knows he's gonna punt. 4.

[After THE JUMP: a rundown] -------------------------------------------- 1. Isaiah Todd and Other Five-Stars wsg Matt from Endless Motor starts at 1:00 Isaiah Todd has committed. First 5* since McGary/GRIII. Comparison is fluid and more switchable version of DJ Wilson. There are some motor concerns that made him drop 10 spots in the rankings. Brian is cautious on Todd, can he define a program or is he just a piece? Todd changes the perception of Michigan as one of Those schools. Makes Michigan relevant in elite basketball recruiting again. His mom was pretty protective and was a big factor in the recruitment. Everyone likes Juwan Howard. The college route seems to be preferred right now but we have to see how RJ Hampton plays out. Michigan will be gigantic next year. Big questions this year: what happens with Castleton and Johns this year? We’re likely to see a lot more transition this year. The issue for Johns is mental, not athletic, needs more confidence. Todd shouldn’t have the athletic limitations that Iggy had. More posting up with Juwan. 2. More with Matt: How Does This Class Finish? starts at 36:32 Michigan has three more open spots in the 2020 class. One is held for Jace Howard but he can be pushed out to non-scholarship if needed. Juwan looking for a center: Mark Williams or Hunter Dickinson? Duke wants both. If Dickinson makes it out of Durham without a commit, Michigan is in good shape. Dickinson and Todd are good fits with each other. At the 2-3 spot Michigan’s got a few options they have a good shot at: Nimari Burnett, Josh Christopher, Moses Moody, and Jaden Springer. Hopefully M gets one. In the 2021 class Khristian Lander is a guy Michigan has a great shot at, maybe he reclassifies? Todd is already actively recruiting for Michigan. 3. After UFR: Illinois starts at 54:08 Michigan revived their running game by going back to last year, mixing in the split zone and the pin and pull. Michigan is messing up the low hanging fruit, just not making the right reads. If those QB reads happen, chunk plays might start to happen. If those happen, passing game opens up. Mayfield did a lot of good things and some very bad things. Onwenu was dominant, other people now think he’s an All-American. Bredeson is underrated by the UFR grading system. Ruiz has scuffled this year. We need to see more blocking from Eubanks against non-Illinois teams. Brian is optimistic about Michigan’s running game against PSU. Bell turned 15 yards into 70. No one on defense was dominant, mostly everyone was good. Glasgow great, Kemp productive. Metellus had some uncharacteristic gaffes. 4. Penn State starts at 1:27:17 Feels like it’s going to be a slog. PSU played Iowa like Michigan played Iowa. Two good defenses. Tommy Stevens deserts State College and Sean Clifford is now in. Noah Cain is really great at getting yards after contact, Michigan will have to be weary of him. Their offensive line still isn’t great because of the sanctions era. They rotate on the OL and Seth doesn’t know why. Clifford has Shea-disease, struggles against any offense who come after him because he panics. KJ Hamler gives them easy yards. Michigan’s pass rush should be a real factor. Against good defenses, their OL puts them behind the sticks, Clifford isn’t good enough to get them out. Outgained by Buffalo and Pitt, under 300 yards to Iowa. Their defense is somehow the best run defense in the country but level of competition is a factor. They’re mostly the same guys that Michigan paved last year. Michigan will need Onwenu to move Robert Windsor. PSU comes at you with the pass rush and play a lot of zone, not great for Shea and passing game. MUSIC: Featured tonight: MGoReaders, the Neal Anderson Quintet.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Are fumbles systemic or just really random and bad? Turner's the only fumbler we're worried about; that's why Haskins is ahead of him on the depth chart. Shea's reads are not going away—the 4th down was throw up your hands it's over. Ronnie Bell catch & runs, Eubanks shot down the field and got two blocks. Michigan's receivers may be in the BPONE; they're not getting much action. 2. The Defense starts at 23:54 Fine until tempo, when they got illegal substitutions and weren't set. They don't tempo in practice so they're not ready for it…still. It's a program thing; Harbaugh's not going to be one of the top five coaches in the country. Michigan got got by the Michigan State OPI play. Metellus lost a ball in the sun? Just track the receiver—it's 3rd down. Too handsy in the secondary: Ambry, Khaleke. Vincent Gray needs another year to get his jams down. Glasgow tackle on Williams was awesome. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 42:56 Ace is okay with turtling at the end of the 1st half. Mr. Weird Punts. Blocked a punt: punter got the ball back and was 1 second away from punting it again. You can punt it to a teammate behind the line and he can advance the ball or throw the ball. Transcontinental punt. Subplot where Michigan kept trying to put Illinois players on the ball. 4.

After UFR: Iowa starts at 1:00 Shea wasn’t quite as bad as thought at the time, but still not good. 54% DSR. Patterson took two drive-killing sacks where he missed open guys and runs into sacks. He feels worse than last year. Brian is in favor of a QB switch when McCaffrey is back. Milton? Runyan did okay against Epenesa, Bredeson had a good day on the ground. Michigan had one simplified drive and they need to replicate it to have offensive success. The equivalent of iso ball in football. Running game is still stuck in the mud. What’s Michigan’s base right now? This feels like it all comes down to Gattis because the Harbaugh rush game trademarks are not there right now. 2. Gimmicky Top Five starts at 31:42 This was a lot more fun. Michigan has an answer for drag routes, there are still some kinks in the process though, guys missing assignments. More zone, not 80% man anymore. Michigan is able to disguise blitzes better. McGrone is so athletic, able to credibly blitz from linebacker depth. DL had pressure coming from all angles, pocket constricting. Michigan can zone blitz all of Hudson, McGrone, Glasgow, and Uche depending on the play. No need to run corner blitzes. Dwumfour had a nice day, used quickness as a run defender. Iowa has NFL offensive tackles and Michigan still got pressure. Secondary was challenged more than in recent weeks and mostly passed with flying colors. Dax Hill starting to look more like a weapon to pull out. Brown finally back to Dr. Blitz. 3. Holly Anderson and a Gimmicky Top 5: One-Sided Relationships starts at 53:14 We invite a member of the only college football podcast to our college baseball, basketball recruiting, and beard appreciation podcast. 4. Illinois starts at 1:06:54 The Power of Lovie’s beard. Brandon Peters is hurt and Illinois is down to a 3rd stringer at QB who was a 2 star recruit. Illinois won’t do anything against Michigan’s defense unless Reggie Corbin runs wild. There is some speed in space on this offense. They have a really good RT. If Dwumfour has a good day, or Michigan shuts down Corbin, that’s big. Could be a proxy for future spread offenses on the schedule. Illinois’ defense continues to be a disaster and Lovie has had no answers in terms of fixing it. Patterson will probably look good because there won’t be much pressure. Michigan’s defense might outscore Illinois’ offense. MUSIC: Featured tonight: Blanche, the gothic indie-country folk medicine show revivalists.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Did that look like the #14 team in the country? Michigan is +4 in turnovers too. Patterson had an O'Korn performance. Terrible INT on a high-low read anybody should be able to make. First throw of the day is nearly intercepted too. Terrible sack he takes—Joel Klatt: "coverage sack"—literally every receiver is open. We're ready for McCaffrey at this point given Patterson's regression. One keeper and everyone says hurrah, and no more from the arc zone game until the 4 minute drill. What were you doing this offseason? Running game is getting nothing now because it's so simplified. Pass pro wasn't bad; Patterson made it look worse. 2. The Defense starts at 23:54 Dominant performance. Stanley under siege: Michigan was sending their OLBs against Wirfs and Alaric Jackson while Kwity was winning inside. Key drive at the end Alaric Jackson has to tackle Michigan's edge guys. Blitz package was great: Iowa goes five-wide, Michigan consistently got McGrone through. Surprised Stanley didn't fumble when he was Statue of Liberty'ing the ball. Hello Mr. Dwumfour. Four-DE package was killer. Ace: they suckered Iowa into a passing down in the redzone. Stanley's "pre-snap read" to Lavert Hill was thrown too well. Revenge fade to Oliver Martin—Ambry lucky it was uncatchable. Clearly there was supposed to be a safety over the top when Hill got beat. Shout out Khaleke for his run defense. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 42:56 If you take a TO to ice the kicker, the HC has to take a Gatorade bath. Running short of the sticks: who thought that was a good idea and why are we doing it? Maybe don't kick pop-ups to one of the kick returners in the conference? Didn't put two guys back on 4th and 20, let the Aussie angle it. Mirror Ferentz showed once, but had a shot in Michigan's territory when Michigan declined the delay of game penalty. Michigan finally got some fluck. Homecoming: we didn't get the traditional band show with Temptation/Hawaiian War Chant. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:02:20 Heisman stat padding afternoon for Jon Taylor. Purdue's out literally half their team vs Penn State; Louisville's going to have a better season than Purdue this year. The Journey: Rutgers. Blackshear and Sitkowski both redshirting to preserve eligibility for somewhere other than Rutgers. Tanner Morgan follows up 21/22 with not that. Pat Fitzgerald triple-ices kicker instead of getting another drive.

Rutgers After UFR starts at 31:42 Michigan’s run game is not going to be good until there is a threat of QB run. The run game opened up after Milton came in. Onwenu got a terrible PFF grade but Brian absolved him. Ruiz was a bit more problematic. Michigan seems to have piled on too much stuff and the guys on the line are still trying to figure out how to execute it. Michigan threw some fades! The interception was okay because we’re finally taking risks. The defense was pretty much the Cam McGrone show and he should get considerably more playing time going forward. Glasgow had a rough game and defending slants and his playing time could be in trouble. Mike Dwumfour exists! Got healthy against Rutgers, now Iowa is the big hurdle. 3. Matt Demorest Got Stung by Yellow Jackets starts at 53:14 Matt comes on to share some stories about his travel across the Big Ten. 4. Iowa starts at 1:06:54 Iowa’s TE is their former fullback. Oliver Martin is 5th on the WR depth chart. Ihmir Smith-Marsette is a very good burner on the outside. Brandon Smith is more of a jump ball type. Two NFL-bound tackles in Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson. Nate Stanley is this year’s inexplicably hyped-for-the-NFL B1G QB. Mekhi Sargent is solid, but he’s not Akrum Wadley. Just a guy. Play a 4-3 even and a cover 2 on defense with not as good of a secondary as usual, but with a monster at DE in AJ Epenesa. Michigan is going to have problems blocking him one-on-one. If Michigan can keep the QB clean, they should be able to throw on Iowa. Can Patterson exploit the zone? If there’s a threat of QB run, Michigan should be able to slice the team open. But what if Patterson can’t keep it. MUSIC: Featured tonight: Reader’s band Jes Cru, which is the most 1990s band I’ve ever heard, and would you’ know it: they played around Ann Arbor in the 1990s.

The Offense starts at 1:00 Do you feel better? There was a rushing Rutger. Got rid of almost all the RPOs and just did play-action. That helped the pass protection, though Mayfield seems to be on par with Runyan in that. No Patterson runs until the goal line: He is this year's Hammerin' Panda. More things that made sense: Bona fide bubble screen to DPJ with all three receivers on the same side of the ball, and bombs away! Limited running game: Milton comes in and Hassan Haskins starts getting yards because the zone read game is on again. Turner remains slippery. 2. The Defense starts at 24:40 Mesh throws: one was pretty blatant OPI but was going to work anyway because McGrone was out of position. Would like to see some dedicated mesh defense. More diverse between Cov1 and Cov2 now. Dwumfour step 1: out there. Can't keep Uche on the field because we can't play three defensive linemen. McGrone got a start with Ross in a boot, made Bush plays, was comfortable. Guy gets lit up by Dax Hill to save his team 10 yards so dap cheese to that guy. Dax pushing past Woods now. No Mazi or Hinton until super late; last play was Hinton—not ideal that Jess Speight is out there first. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 42:56 Hot takes. New strategy for special teams: push your own guy into an accidental block in the back. North Carolina do you go for two? You gotta have a better play than running laterally against Clemson. If there's enough time like that left you shouldn't incentivize Clemson to go balls out. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:02:20 Iowa did better than we did against MTSU's all outside offense. Alaric Jackson could be back this week. Penn State looks good after demolishing Maryland. Go with Piggy! Northwestern handled Wisconsin's offense. Classic Indiana tries effort.

Wisconsin After Review starts at 1:00 That happened. Seth can’t understand what happened to Shea. The throw to Ronnie Bell was a successfully stupid decision from Shea. Mason’s fumble was mostly dumb luck. What happened to speed in space? Bubble screens? Mike Sainristil? Giles Jackson? Why is Nick Eubanks being used as a slot receiver? Why did it take until being down 35-8 to start throwing deep balls to Collins and Black? Michigan refusing to pave the Wisconsin interior is stupid. It got so bad that the Patterson interception was a DL tip from a design rushing play. They’re running RPOs that Penn State used to do under Moorhead. This was the worst possible game plan for the second straight week. What did we do all offseason? Michigan consistently 3 years behind what the rest of the country is doing. There were repeated errors on both offense and defense that just don’t make any sense. It feels like something is broken in the program overall. I guess Michigan was kind of prepared for Army?. 2.

All of it.] 1. The Existential Crisis starts at 1:00 If you can't get Jim Harbaugh to work at Michigan what is going to work at Michigan? Ace has an Arby's hat on. Harbaugh's worst team ever relative to expectations. Miss organized Harbaugh. It's incredible that every gamble didn't work out. Michigan since the Indiana game last year has been 14 points under the spread in every game. Why does Michigan not have defensive tackles? It goes back to recruiting two years ago when they're airballing on everybody. Gattis: looks like Michigan took a swing and it was a bad bet. We're stuck with Harbaugh until he's done. He'll have some decent teams and face. How did Harbaugh's track record with quarterbacks evaporate? 2. "Offense" starts at 26:55 Jon Runyan got 20% as many carries as Charbonnet—we want you to pass but not give up on your running game entirely. And surprise: as soon as you start chucking it to your great receivers the ball starts moving. It seems like Gattis was a shot they had to take and they missed. Ronnie Bell's review was a catch—Mike Peirera said if they called it the other way he would have reversed it to a catch. Mason's fumble: he took two shots directly to the ball. Hooray: Michigan just has the shittiest luck in college football except maybe Northwestern. 3. "Defense" starts at 39:44 Hot takes of the week reveals Brian is at fault for Michigan football, USA Soccer, Ann Arbor politics, and everything else wrong with this world. The DTs can't hack it, but your chicken salad is treating Jordan Glasgow as a DT? Old Don Brown thing getting exposed again: show man, get man, they run a man beater on 4th down.

Army After Review starts at 1:00 Al Borges is now saying interesting things. Michigan had a good first half in terms of play-calling on offense, the second half really trailed off, getting whipped in RPS by Army. Michigan bashed their face into a wall over and over again. Problem was the QB read was almost never being used. Michigan ran split zone three times and it worked every time. Michigan needs to get a play on 4th & 2 that works. Brian thinks this could be a Come to Jesus moment; we’ll find out against Wisconsin. Michigan can’t expect Onwenu and Charbonnet to do all the heavy lifting against Wisconsin, get the ball to your WR’s. There were 4 protection minuses early on, and then 4 the rest of the game. First ones rattled Shea, was bailing on clean pockets, worryingly similar to last year. OL was good except for Hayes, who was not great. 2. Army Final Thoughts - Defense starts at 32:28 Uche played nearly every down and showed off his explosiveness and ability to shed blocks. He mostly passed the test, but Wisconsin will be different. Khaleke Hudson had his ups and downs in the game. Turnovers changed the complexion of the game- Michigan wins comfortably without them because the defense did its job. Aidan Hutchinson is a smart player who had a big game. Brian’s grading system differs from PFF. Metellus was himself. Comfortable with Hawkins as a run defender, TBD as a pass defender. The Army chop blocks are infuriating. 3. Wisconsin Defense starts at 1:09:59 The longest ad read of all-time ends in hysteria. Defense gets Garrett Rand back from injury at DE, and Isaiahh Loudermilk is finally healthy. Planning on starting a freshman at NT. They now run a 2-4-5 nickel that looks like a 4-3. Numbers are off the charts because they played two terrible offenses. Lost both ILB’s, who were both terrific. Chris Orr is still around. Lost starting S Scott Nelson for the season. 4. Wisconsin Offense starts at 1:28:23 Quintez Cephus is back, Jonathan Taylor is back, Cole Van Lanen and Tyler Biadasz are great. But Jack Coan is the big looming question. Wisconsin tried to keep it very simple with AJ Taylor so Coan didn’t have to do much. Wisconsin is still throwing on short yardage 3rd downs. Jake Ferguson has been disappointing as a blocker. Michigan needs to hammer them with wild abandon, make Coan beat you. This is a game that could go either way. MUSIC: Featured tonight: Motorboat of the NYC/Hoboken area.

Offense starts at 1:00 Shea and his reads: Harbaugh's job is to lie but we think he's definitely injured. Sometimes there was an overhang read but mostly: yeah. His passing too was probably affected by that. Ready to buy Charbonnet as a star. We got a lot of data this week. Missed Runyan a lot—not great from Hayes, huge missed pickup by Turner. Giles Jackson has freshman slot disease: need to teach them to cut inside the blocker. VanSumeren screwed this up too. Quarterback has to play better, period. Targeting call: can't call that—have to account for a guy changing position. 2. Defense starts at 26:38 Irrelevant to the rest of the season. Uche had a good game, Hutchinson had a good game, can't blame him for Army doubling him by having another guard slam into the guard blocking him to get a short gain. Michigan chose to go with a 3-3-5, take the dives to prevent anything big. You're going to 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 55:10 Ronnie Bell: making us miss DPJ/Peppers. Third punt was yikes, and fumbled a punt. Liked how Michigan played the 4th quarter—problem wasn't going for it; it was the playcall. Michigan got RPS'd by Army who called something to beat the arc read. How did ULSM not go for two? Michael Sessa on FG blocks. Commercials: so many in this game that Michigan ran out of their in-game frippery before the 4th quarter. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:20:25 Wisconsin Rutger'd CMU (hey we could have played CMU) and Quintez Cephus is back. Both teams have a bye now. Indiana had their fun. Buckeyes had their fun; Justin Fields completes 80% of his passes. Iowa found a receiver against Rutgers—not the one we gave them. Michigan State gets 51 points wearing the Mountain Dew uniforms against the Broncos (hey we could have played WMU). Penn State got outgained by Buffalo; 23 for 24 is a bad run game. Maryland what? Illinois has former Michigan guys and beat UConn, has EMU (hey we could have had a bye then played EMU) next week. Colorado-Nebraska was a Lions job. Tried to have their punter kick the OT field goal. New center is taking some time to get used to it.

History of Army-Michigan and Herbert O. Crisler wsg Greg Dooley starts at 1:00 The first year of the modern winged helmet. Fritz Crisler arrived and helped to spur the development of platoon football. Army and Michigan played football in Yankee Stadium. Army weaponized the use of the draft to build an unstoppable college football team and also were among the first teams to use substitutions in college football. Brian thinks that the FCS should eliminate substitutions again. Crisler was a Chicago guy, got his nickname from Amos Alonzo Stagg himself. The 1945 sophomore class that made up much of the team became national champions as seniors in 1947, while Army won a disputed national championship in ’45. 2. MTSU Recap wsg Craig Ross starts at 32:28 Michigan could have run arc read keeper on every play and have won easily. Was probably a weird outlier to forget about going forward. Play calling for the passing offense was finally linked to the run offense. A few really nice RPO’s. A bit of Big Ten West discussion: Hunter Johnson looked very bad for Northwestern but they’re not on Michigan’s schedule so it doesn’t matter. Teams that schedule legit FCS schools (like Minnesota) don’t get enough credit. Craig still likes Wisconsin. Vincent Gray needs to work on not getting eliminated from the play when blocked. Charbonnet displayed the whole package. Turner had a good game too. The receivers have to get used. McKeon seems promising. Craig likes Shea’s accuracy but not his decision making. Ben Mason is not ready for big time. Josh Uche needs to play. Jordan Glasgow was a guy you wanted to seize the job of WLB and he looked like he did it. There’s a spot for Dax Hill on this defense and hopefully he seizes it. The defense is far more diverse than last season. 3. Army Preview wsg Craig Ross starts at 1:09:59 Brian finally reveals that Pitbull content origin. Army will not be fun this weekend. They build their offense around consistently getting 3 yards. They convert almost every fourth down but if you get them in 3rd and long, it’s over. Army is built for upsets by limiting possessions, but they still need to get a little lucky. Michigan’s offense should score on every drive in this game. The spread (Michigan -22) doesn’t feel off, but there is a real chance of nervousness. Michigan hired Georgia Tech’s defensive coordinator as an analyst for this game. Army is going to blitz a lot because they’re undersized. Seth likes their other LB more than the captain.. 4. Why Pitbull? starts at 1:28:23 A very short segment. MUSIC: Every week on MGoRadio we feature a different local or friendly band. This week we’re honored to have Duke Charrell from Parliament Funkadelic (George Clinton’s band). Check out Duke’s stuff on Spotify.

Offense: Debut of Speed In Space Offense is different but not that different; Gattis keeping some things in the barn. Two-minute drill actually 2mD'd. Double QB formation was pointless and not very practiced. RPO-RPO-PA TD on the other hand is glorious. Four-verts TD to McKeon, and some bombs to Bell—they're not afraid to strike fast and deep. CoJo debut is a wrong-shoulder catch that none of us were expecting. Please put Nico in the slot if we're going to ball it up quick. Want some Harbaugh back in the offense. Charbonnet blitz pickups: on, trucking: on, acceleration: on, other backs: good enough that Tru's gotta be 3rd down back. Sat in pocket too long (both QBs) even when orbit motion got RBs wide open. Schoonmaker looks big. Karsen Barnhart ahead of all the freshmen. 2. Defense starts at 35:29 Hot takes. Cornerbacks: Ambry and Gray both looked really good. Still a three-man rotation—not weird for this game but weird if it goes on. Uche gets off the line so dang fast—this QB frustratingly kept throwing accurately after Uche's already nailing him. Ben Mason thing not going well. Going 3-3-5—that's one way to make chicken salad. Hawkins looked alright. MTSU's center went out screaming. Asher O'Hara you are so obnoxious. Hutchinson better pass rusher inside than out, Danna had a nice hurry, DEs nerfed by offense's design. 3. Special Teams/Game Theory starts at 1:01:55 Had timeouts at least but when you have timeouts you don't need to clock the ball and burn a down dudes. Of all the dudes to put back there for punt returns, NOT LAVERT HILL. Hudson had a lot of pressure on a punt. Moody had field goals, most of the kickoffs, Nordin had the extra points. Wall of the non-dressed teammates? Included German Green, Jalen Perry, Sammy Faustin. 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:20:25 Northwestern: Hunter Johnson was terrible, this is going to be gross. Minnesota: lines are major concerns after getting pushed around by a (good) I-AA team. Tulsa is the most incompetent jokers ever—MSU crowd is chanting "We want Rocky!"

ND: Kelly is more comfortable with Ian Book, going through an OL and LB transition, let's not talk about their DEs, Seth wants to talk about their Navy safety. Maryland should be not competitive—Anthony McFarland and co. can move. We're skeptical of Locksley. Michigan State has a defense, probably not that many more than 95 yards; Cody White ain't Felton Davis. IU got rid of DeBord, replaced with DeBoer, Tom Allen's team is no longer fun, just hateful and trending bad. 2. Big Ten West Preview (starts at 54:25) Bring the jug to Indy! 3.

I have opinions Brian. About football. You should stop doing that. The Sponsors This show is presented by The UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan, instead of 11 years of MGoPodcasts this would be entirely about salsa takes. Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: The Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, The HomeSure Lending, The University of Michigan Alumni Association, The Ann Arbor Elder Law, The Michigan Law Grad, The Human Element , The Phil Klein Insurance Group, The Peak Wealth Management, The Fuegobox, and introducing The Randy Wise Chevrolet, and The Perrin Brewing. -------------------------------------------- 1. Defensive Line (starts at 1:00) She's been comin' round the mountain. We all have different defensive ends. Danna is a super-Roh—gets very low and MAC types can't handle him. Doesn't make mistakes. Kwity Paye is Don Brown's perfect human, but we need to see some pass rush before we declare him so. Ace is all about Aidan Hutchinson. Vilain, Upshaw (who's 240) and Welschof and Ojabo are all in the future. Tackle…maybe not terrible? They need to get pass rush; Dwumfour is important and it appears he's got a soft cast on his hand so the injury holding him out currently isn't related to the injury last year. They're talking up Kemp as a guy who can hack it at nose but he's not going to be more than an undersized plugger. Jeter hype means that guy should be useful at least. Hard not to improve on a Kemp/Mone pass rush. More about not getting gashed in the run game; short version is they will. Now can we talk about Uche? What does Michigan need to go to a 3-3-5? The way the stack works is you're not supposed to know where it's coming from. 2. Linebackers and Hybrids (starts at 18:57) More Uche—they're going to get to 3rd downs for him—what can he do on 1st and 2nd? We're going to like Josh Ross just fine. Gil is an okay floor, we'd like McGrone, then Anthony, to pop. It sounds like it's Anthony and Glasgow as the primary challengers, with McGrone maybe one more year away. Need LBs who can keep up with running backs, maybe use a different one each week. 3. Cornerbacks and Safeties (starts at 34:47) So that's a bummer. We're taking the pessimistic road with Ambry but the optimistic road with Gray, because last year didn't happen until the very end and not many teams can do that to us. Daxton Hill is going to need some time to develop. At least they're saying the right things about DJ Turner. And okay, we'll buy Brad Hawkins. After those guys…euhhhh. Lamenting the 2018 class (and honorary 2018 Ben St-Juste). 4. Special Teams & Defense: Holistically (starts at 51:01) Moody is hitting those long ones now so it's him to start, but let's not forget Wild Thing is great and college kickers are weird. Will Hart outta nowhere. Not going to be a great but we're still top 25 and that should be enough. Seth thinks Don Brown has more interesting stuff to do. MUSIC "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love"—Usher ft.
