Offense vs Northwestern Starts at :51 This doesn't even qualify as a top five weird Northwestern game (we list our top five). This week's snack of the week is organic pumpkin seeds. On one level, this kinda looked like Michigan's best game of the year on offense and defense. Michigan comes out slinging it and Bryce's confidence seemed like it was at another level, but he made young mistakes. What happened on Bryce's sacks? Playing Northwestern always kinda feels like they have your signs. Michigan was able to counter some of Northwestern's defensive counters. Most of the mistakes are coming from freshmen which is just something that happens. Missed cuts on zone is whatever but missed cuts on power isn't good. Bryson Kuzdzal came in and did just fine. Bryce's scrambles were pretty good and mostly improvisation, his interceptions were freshman stuff. Safeties were baiting him, can he anticipate that in the future? The first interception was not understanding how to read the coverage, the second one was just needing to throw the ball better. Andrew Marsh made the Michigan catch of the year, you have a dedicated receiver going into next year. You could have 12 of 14 boxes in a great position next year. Andrew Marsh is the best freshman receiver since... Manningham? How much does this performance mean against Ohio State? The reverse fumble is on Chip Lindsey. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs Northwestern Starts at 44:15 Northwestern came into this game with a pretty good ground game and they got stuffed. This was a good game to run the 5-2 in, Northwestern is on the opposite end of the spectrum from USC. Northwestern's gamesmanship cost them two false starts, Michigan tipped what they were running multiple times. The defensive backs got beat a few times but sometimes a receiver just makes a nice play over you. You probably don't want to put Zeke Berry on Jeremiah Smith, Jyaire Hill is getting his star back. Brandyn Hillman tackled with his arms! He's grown as a much more mature player over the season. They're defending screens now! TJ Metcalf body-slammed a guy. 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:08:55 Takes hotter than suburban Chicago in mid-November. There seems to be differing views on how much people liked this venue for a football game. The camera shots were weird. Seth and Dave think the inside of the stadium is magical, Brian not so much. It might've actually been 90% Michigan fans. They did the best they could with clock management at the end of the first half. What about timeouts at the end of the second half? Zvada kicked the ball into the street outside of the stadium. Brian takes responsibility for the missed field goals by changing the preview. Semaj got replaced, he's a better player than he's performed but he may be overdue for a mental health break. 4th down decisions. NFL calculator says there's a complete coin flip in decision making. It shouldn't be a holding call if you're getting your ass kicked. Semaj was on the ground with the ball but they didn't overturn the fumble? There's no transparency between officiating and the fans, other conferences and sports are getting better at it. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:59:37 USC 26, Iowa 21 Iowa jumped out to a nice lead but scored zero points in the second half. The Hawkeyes lost three offensive linemen. The universe is paying them back for all the 10 win seasons they had no business having. USC is now a legitimate playoff contender. Indiana 31, Wisconsin 7 This was a sludge fart for Indiana in the first half but put it away in the second. Wisconsin is one of the worst Big Ten offenses ever contemplated. Most of Wisconsin's offense was off of a couple weird plays. Penn State 28, Michigan State 10 A rock fight between two of the worst teams in the league. Michigan State had 15 wins over the last three years... well at least they did. Penn State won the very ugly trophy which might actually be the best trophy and they looked like they really wanted it. Illinois 24, Maryland 6 Maryland is not even trying to run the ball anymore. Illinois ground them to a pulp. Don't throw at Maryland, just run them over. Washington 49, Purdue 13 Washington doubles Purdue in yardage and most of that was likely garbage time for Purdue. Oregon 42, Minnesota 13 This feels like danger zone for PJ Fleck. They could lose to Wisconsin?? Ohio State 48, UCLA 10 UCLA is without Nico in this game, their backup has never thrown a college pass. UCLA is moving out of the Rose Bowl??

For two seasons now, I've shared a broadcast booth with Guy Haberman—a voice built for Saturdays and a friend built for life. This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor 76 — keeping you on the GO-GO-GO so you never miss a beat, I sat down with Guy for one last conversation before his world changes forever. In a few weeks, he and his wife Alyssa will welcome their first child.So before football, before anything else, we talked about that.Our job as broadcasters is to notice—to study body language, tone, and timing. So I asked him what he's noticed most about his wife through the journey to parenthood. What followed was a reflection on steadiness, partnership, and what happens when the people closest to you reveal their best traits in the hardest moments. It reminded me that even in a profession obsessed with highlights, the most meaningful growth often happens quietly—off-camera, between breaths, in the spaces life gives us before everything changes.We also dove into the lessons learned from production meeting with head coaches, off-line chats on the sideline and the principles that are shared between a locker room and a living room.Guy not only works Saturday's in the fall but also Sunday's as one of the radio voices for the San Francisco 49ers. And once his son arrives he will be back on the hardwood calling basketball games for Big Ten Network, Fox and NBC/Peacock. When we talked about the craft of broadcasting, Guy described the last two seasons as an exercise in presence. Each week he focused on getting a little bit better—on one small thing—knowing this would be a shorter season before he turned his attention to fatherhood. That kind of intentional growth struck me. It's easy to talk about chasing big dreams; it's harder to live in the details of daily improvement. And as someone who studied film with him each week, he's right and he lived with a growth mindset all summer and fall.The theme that echoed throughout our time together was simple: the best performers—whether in football, broadcasting, or life—operate with clarity, humility, and consistency. They don't get caught up in what's next. They just keep showing up, refining their process, trusting the people around them, and letting time reveal the result. From Kyle Shanahan to Ryan Day to PJ Fleck and everyone in between—there is a red thread that ties success together.This episode isn't about highlights or hot takes—it's about friendship, discipline, and the beauty of life's little gifts. It's about learning to Chase What Matters, on and off the field and if you get a little lucky, you'll get a few great games along the way.I'm off to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for Washington, finally ranked and in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, as they visit Camp Randall for the first time in 57 years. More on the CFP this weekend and as the old saying goes, "the games they remember are the ones in November.”Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Do we have Gopher envy?
In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, hosts Minnie and Fred open the “Husker Hope Hotline” to process Nebraska's humiliating 24–6 loss to Minnesota. The duo describe the defeat as one of the worst under Matt Rhule, marked by offensive line breakdowns, poor communication, and a lack of grit that contradicted the program's supposed progress. They vent about mental mistakes, ejections, and coaching failures, while debating whether offensive line coach Donovan Raiola deserves to stay given his limited success developing players. Minnie presents a chart showing years of thin recruiting and poor depth, while Fred argues the unit still lacks cohesion and leadership. The conversation shifts to NIL disparities and coaching contrasts with Minnesota's PJ Fleck, whom they credit for maximizing modest talent. They lament Nebraska's inability to execute “basic football,” questioning whether Rhule's staff can truly develop players in the modern era. The hosts defend quarterback Dylan Raiola's toughness despite constant pressure, worrying he might waste his talent behind a failing line. Still, they end on a hopeful note, recalling Nebraska's 1996 rebound after an early shutout loss, and urging fans to regroup before facing Northwestern. Despite the pain, Minnie and Fred reaffirm their loyalty to Husker Nation and each other.

We mentioned the story last week that Napier was set to be fired this weekend, win or lose---and that's what happened, as the Gators beat the Bulldogs, 23-21, but it didn't save Napier's job. He ends his tenure with a 22-23 overall record; and an 8-21 record vs. teams with winning records Meanwhile, Luke Fickell's Badgers got shutout for a 2nd straight week—both at home---and it's certainly going to be the end of his tenure…but when? And…could PJ Fleck be a target for Penn State?

What was THAT? Nebraska surrendered 9 sacks and gave up 186 rushing yards to a team that had just 30 yards rushing in their previous game (a win vs. Purdue)…lots of questions to answer and a fan base who witnessed a 5-1 start last year before 4 straight losses now has uncomfortable thoughts Nebraska played a poor first half and still only trailed, 7-6…a 14-play, 98 yard TD drive that took 8:43 of game time in the 3rd quarter was too much to overcome for an offense (and defense) that had few answers for an average Gophers team… Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
