Podcasts about Underwood

In this week's episode Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 21-16 victory over Purdue. Borges highlighted five missed throws that could have been significant plays, attributing some to Bryce Underwood's learning curve. He praised Jordan Marshall's performance, noting his 12 first downs and three touchdowns. Shifting back to Underwood, Borges emphasized the importance of reps and confidence-building drills. He also mentioned the impact of turnovers and the need for more quick rhythm throws. The conversation included insights on Underwood's mechanics, the influence of game conditions, and the potential benefits of the bye week for improvement.

Today's episode of the podcast covers some NFL Leaderboards, dives into a discussion about Early Declare and Super Senior statuses, and then finishes with the Week 11 Discussion. As usual, I did not write up the NFL Notes, but I do have at least some brief observations about Early Declare and Super Senior status by position group. This is not meant to be a definitive study, more an observation about where the league is and recent trends. After that, as always, the Week 11 Preview which looks forward to some crucial 2026 QB match-ups. Early Declares and Super Seniors by PositionFor this an analysis, an Early Declare is anyone who leaves college the minimum 3 years after high school. A Super Senior is anyone who leaves college 5+ years after high school. To be clear, I don't think the analysis is re-inventing the wheel in any way, shape, or form and much of this is probably self-evident to at least some people, but I would wager even some of those people might be shocked by the degree in some of these points. * This should surprise no one, but the QB position is the only position — particularly at the top — where being a Super Senior is not a detriment particularly relative to being an early declare in recent memory. Several elite QBs (Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, Bo Nix) are Super Seniors, and QB is the only position where choosing between the top three Early Declares and top three Super Seniors would be a debate; the top 3 Early Declares on KTC right now are Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, and Patrick Mahomes, so they still may have the edge here, but compare that to WR where the KTC rankings would make a similar comparison Ricky Pearsall, Jayden Reed, and Terry McLaurin v Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Justin Jefferson. * RB is the position where the TOP END is the most dominated by Early Declares. The top 6 RBs and 13 of the top 14 RBs are Early Declares (Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Jeanty, De'Von Achane, Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, Bucky Irving, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall, Josh Jacobs, Kyren Williams). That said, the gap between simply being a senior and a super senior, at least in the moment, seems less extreme at RB compared to WR. James Cook is the other RB in the Top 14, and as a 4th Year player, he creates the biggest divide between Senior and Super Senior, but players like Chase Brown, Jaylen Warren, and before his injury Cam Skattebo are more highly valuable to their positions relative to the Seniors and compared to the WR position. * At WR, within the top 24, there is a 2/3 to 1/3 preference towards the Early Declares, with 8 Early Declare WRs in the top 12 and 16 Early Declare WRs in the top 24. Beyond that though, the most unique aspect of WRs in this analysis is the complete lack of players achieving significant success after becoming Super Seniors. Ricky Pearsall and Jayden Reed have had some relative success aside from injuries, but injuries are a relevant reality in the sport, and if they do not turn their careers around soon, the biggest 5th Year WR hit since Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel — both of whom are ~30 YO now — is probably Rashid Shaheed? Or perhaps still Jayden Reed even with the injuries. Since the podcast, Deebo has fallen out of the Top 50 and Shaheed has risen into the top 50, but essentially these 5 WRs are the 5 that rest near or above the fringe of WR50. That is a very small number of relevant players throughout the entire position. * As one additional note, among the 8 WRs who have Senior (not super) status in the Top 24 on KTC, four of these eight WRs (Egbuka, Odunze, DeVonta, Olave) had an excellent season with high draft status prior to returning for their four season. Two more of these WRs (Ladd & Puka) were heavily impacted by injuries throughout their collegiate careers. This is why, in my eyes, even the bar for a fourth year player at the WR position should be very high or have significant excuse as to why they were not able to become more successful earlier in their careers. My belief is that this is because WR is so skills driven that early skills development is still underrated in the scouting process. This is admittedly not the most optimistic analysis, and I did not spin it directly like this on the podcast, but there is a reason that I bring all these items up on a Show/Sub that slants to the NFL Draft: There's some evidence that being an Early Declare for Dante Moore would be more enticing for teams to the extent that it might help him stay in the First Round relative to maybe a similar QB with a similar season who was a 4th Year player, but the fact that so many of those QBs being drafted as Early Declares are on the bottom of the top 20-28 QBs might suggest that for Dante Moore, if he wants to be a very good QB, staying at Oregon might be the most logical decision. And for Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, while at other positions returning for a 5th Year would be a detriment, there's not necessarily anything obvious in the numbers right now — particularly if your goal is to be a very good QB — that suggests going back for a 5th Year is a bad idea. At RB, our top two don't need discussed here, but particularly as Jonah Coleman may re-enter the RB2 conversation with the injury to Justice Haynes, this is just another sign that Coleman best abilities might lie in FLOOR and not CEILING. And at WR, luckily our top three are fine here — it is part of what makes them the top 3. Jordyn Tyson is the only senior, but he slides nicely into that category that also fits Egbuka, DeVonta, Odunze, and Olave. The concern is more as we get into the stages where Chris Bell, Germie Bernard, and even Denzel Boston are becoming first round picks that people are excited about. Boston scores okay compared to those players, but is a clear step down. Bell and Bernard are not particularly close. That doesn't mean they can't be very good WRs, but unless there is more well-rounded development, they are the two players right now where they seem like they may slip into my own 1st Round, but in most drafts I would not want to rank them with a Top 12 grade. Make sure to check out the Fantasy for Real podcast where I go over these games in preparation for Week 11.After a few weeks where the match-ups for the 2026 QBs were not quite as exciting, this weekend showcases many of our top QBs matched up in important games. The biggest match-up and Game of the Week features LSU & Garrett Nussmeier taking on Alabama & Ty Simpson, with Nussmeier in particular needing to take advantage of the limited opportunities he has left before the 2026 NFL Draft. Aside from this top game, both Dante Moore and Fernando Mendoza find themselves against tricky defenses in road environments. This is another big opportunity week for the 2026 QB Class with plenty of other big games to look through as well. Friday Night LightsNorthwestern @ USC at 9:00 PM on FOXKey Players: Griffin Wilde, WR, Northwestern (2026) ; Jayden Maiava, QB, USC (2026) ; Makai Lemon, WR, USC (2026) ; Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, USC (2026)Not too much action late Friday night, but USC does have one of the most intriguing teams for the 2026 NFL Draft in particular. While the injury to Waymond Jordan and playing through injuries for Ja'Kobi Lane has limited some of the intrigue, this team still features two potential Day 2 or higher WRs including a top 3 WR in Makai Lemon. QB Jayden Maiava flirted with the First Round QB conversation, but right now seems to be firmly on the outside looking in after poor performances the last two weeks. This game is unlikely to get him back in the conversation, but it can get him on the right track for at least Day 2 moving forward. For Northwestern, Griffin Wilde remains an intriguing, productive player within College Football. A third year player in his first year in the Big Ten, Wilde is very likely the most important member of the Northwestern offense.Week 11 College Football GAMEDAY PreviewsGAME OF THE WEEKLSU @ Alabama at 7:30 PM on ABCKey Players: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU (2026) ; Harlem Berry, RB, LSU (2028) ; Caden Durham, RB, LSU (2027) ; Aaron Anderson, WR, LSU (2026) ; Trey'Dez Green, TE, LSU (2027) ; Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (2026) ; Jamarion Miller, RB, Alabama (2026) ; Daniel Hill, RB, Alabama (2027) ; Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama (2027) ; Lotzeir Brooks, WR, Alabama (2028) ; Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama (2026) ; Isaiah Horton, WR, Alabama (2026)Very likely the “Game of the Week” this week pits QBs Garrett Nussmeier and Ty Simpson against each other, each with the ability to raise their stock in the upcoming NFL Draft. For Nussmeier, a player without eligibility and a nearly nonexistent path to the CFB Playoff, this will be one of the last opportunities to make an impression. If Simpson wishes to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, that might be true for him as well, though Simpson will have more post-season opportunities most likely. Simpson has showcased excellent ability to play the QB position, but as someone with very few starts, Simpson is still an incomplete picture.These teams are also quite similar in how they have matched-up on Offense this year, with the exception of Simpson being able to execute in the difficult situations that Nussmeier has struggled in. But on the ground, both teams have struggled quite a bit this season. LSU has seemingly found something in RB Harlem Berry adding a bit more consistency on the ground the last couple of weeks, and between the true freshman and sophomore RB Caden Durham, LSU definitely has a very intriguing tandem on the ground. For Alabama, the most intriguing RB at this stage for NFL futures is probably 244-lb sophomore Daniel Hill. And while they are different shapes and sizes significantly, each team features some elite upside at pass-catching positions. Trey'Dez Green of LSU has been a match-up nightmare on paper for his entire career, but the last three games have begun to bring that theory into reality. He is currently my TE1 in all of College Football, with a significant gap between Green and anyone else. On the complete opposite side of the size spectrum, Ryan Williams of Alabama is an elite prospect, still 18-Years Old, but needs to work on his consistency particularly with his hands. Aside from Williams, potential fantasy 1st-Round pick Germie Bernard and true freshman Lotzeir Brooks make up a dangerous trio that also includes other supplemental players like Isaiah Horton. This is one of the more intriguing and multi-faceted games we have had in a few weeks, with huge 2026 NFL Draft implications from primarily the QB position as well as depth in future talent at RB, WR, and TE.TOP GAME #2Texas A&M @ Missouri at 3:30 PM on ABCKey Players: Kevin Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M (2026) ; Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M (2027) ; Ashton Bethel-Roman, WR, Texas A&M (2027) ; Ahmad Hardy, RB, Missouri (2027) ; Donovan Olugbode, WR, Missouri (2028) ; Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Missouri (2026) ; Brett Norfleet, TE, Missouri (2026)While players like mobile QB Marcel Reed and 3rd-year RB Rueben Owens have started to make an impact and enter into potentially draftable conversations, the strength of the Texas A&M Aggies remains the WR room. Kevin Concepcion is a fringe top-10 player on my Fantasy Big Board for the upcoming NFL Draft, and while Mario Craver's size may restrict him from being a 1st Round pick, both of these WRs have flashed playmaking ability at the highest levels of College Football. While it was only 1 Catch in his follow-up performance, Ashton Bethel-Roman is a second year WR and highly recruited player who has made an impact in each of the last two games, including 130 Receiving Yards on just 43 Routes (3.02 Y/RR). Bethel-Roman is behind his teammates so far in production, but he is also the only WR listed in this room at 6' tall. For Missouri, Ahmad Hardy is having a phenomenal season for a 19-Year-Old RB in the SEC even after the fall-off in performance against SEC play, but that fall-off is something that Hardy will need to rectify a bit and showcase that his rushing style can translate to the NFL level. Kevin Coleman Jr. is a YAC receiver with some promise at the NFL level, while Brett Norfleet is a TE with excellent size. The most intriguing pass catcher for Missouri may be the true freshman, Donovan Olugbode, who at least should be seen as potentially the highest upside Devy player of the group.Tough Road Spots for VERY Important QBsIndiana @ Penn State at Noon on FOXKey Players: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (2026) ; Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana (2026) ; Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State (2026) ; Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State (2026)Just like last week against Ohio State, this is not the Penn State team we were expecting. Even some teams that have fall-offs like Florida retain a high degree of intrigue for this list, but Penn State's lack of pass catching weapons and injury to QB Drew Allar knock them from an intriguing team to a pair of RBs, one of which in Nicholas Singleton has been a massive disappointment so far this season. Singleton will look to take on his last major opportunity as a College Football player this weekend alongside the RB getting all of the work, Kaytron Allen. The main focal point for this game though will be Fernando Mendoza. It's not entirely fair as the team Oregon beat had aspirations for a National Championship and a different Head Coach, but this is an intriguing pair of games between this game and Oregon's game this week, as both Mendoza and Oregon's Dante Moore get to play in a road environment that we have seen the other play in already this season. OSU's Julian Sayin ripped Penn State apart last week, which likely takes away some ability for Mendoza to get much credit for doing the same even on the road, but this may be the biggest regular season test remaining for Mendoza, who is one of the most likely QBs to appear in the College Football Playoff. If this game is not a sufficient test for Mendoza, it seems less likely that Mendoza will find a test in the next two opponents, Wisconsin & Purdue, who are a combined 4-13.Oregon @ Iowa at 3:30 PM onKey Players: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (2026) ; Dierre Hill Jr., RB, Oregon (2028) ; Jordan Davison, RB, Oregon (2028) ; Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon (2028) ; Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon (2026) ; Kamari Moulton, RB, Iowa (2026)While RB Kamari Moulton has had a few good games for Iowa this season, the ranking of this game so highly in the Weekly Preview is entirely about the Oregon offense – which has struggled in two of the past three games – facing a tough Iowa Defense on the Road. The Wisconsin game was a sloppy, weather-influenced mess, but with so little experience and a limited number of games against top teams, QB Dante Moore will need to take advantage of the opportunities in front of him. As mentioned above, this Iowa game also creates a point of comparison between Moore and Mendoza, and unlike Penn State, this environment is probably going to be seen as fairly similar situationally. Kenyon Sadiq might still be my #1 TE, but he has been one of the more disappointing players so far in 2025. If he wishes to enter the draft and be taken as a true and promising TE1, Sadiq will likely need to show a bit more consistency throughout the rest of the season. Outside of these two, Oregon has a number of intriguing freshman between #1 HS freshman WR Dakorien Moore and the RBs, Dierre Hill Jr. and Jordan Davison.Other Games to Watch this WeekendGeorgia @ Mississippi State at Noon on ESPNKey Players: Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia (2027) ; Chauncey Bowens, RB, Georgia (2027) ; Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia (2026) ; Fluff Bothwell, RB, Mississippi State (2027) ; Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State (2026) ; Anthony Evans III, WR, Mississippi State (2026)The early season fumbles got Nate Frazier in the doghouse, but he has played better the last few weeks and has gone four Gs now without a fumble. Chauncey Bowens is not nearly the highly touted prospect that Frazier is, but he is the RB who broke the two big explosive carries in Georgia's most recent victory against Florida. WR Zachariah Branch has been increasingly reliable with excellent YAC skills, and if this most recent game can showcase a bit more growth in areas aside from a “Gadget” role, Branch is someone with elite athletic upside (at his size). There isn't a player necessarily approaching Day 2 on my Watchlist from Mississippi State, but at least three players are in a Draftable range. Fluff Bothwell has excellent size and could grow into a solid SEC RB with another year remaining before he can enter the NFL Draft, and Brenen Thompson (Deep) and Anthony Evans (Underneath) each have clear utilities and limitations.BYU @ Texas Tech at Noon on ABCKey Players: Bear Bachmeier, QB, BYU (2028) ; L.J. Martin, RB, BYU (2026)A huge game for College Football and a smaller game for our purposes, this is the first real opportunity to spotlight freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, who will not be draft eligible until 2028. Right now, Bachmeier is not necessarily getting as much love with three current starting freshman QB with better tools (Underwood, Sagapolutele, & Washington), but as a true freshman leading an undefeated BYU team, Bachmeier deserves a lot of credit. Aside from Bachmeier, there are a few intriguing RBs in this game, most notably BYU RB L.J. Martin. Texas Tech also features a pair of sophomores in J'Koby Williams & Cameron Dickey.Maryland @ Rutgers at 2:30 PM on Fox Sports 1Key Players: Malik Washington, QB, Maryland (2028) ; Antwan Raymond, RB, Rutgers (2027) ; Ian Strong, WR, Rutgers (2026) ; K.J. Duff, WR, Rutgers (2027)Maryland & QB Malik Washington will look to bounce back after a rough home loss to Indiana. Rutgers' defense has been the team you want to play so far this year when you need to get back on track as a Passing Offense, and so hopefully for Washington this is the case on Saturday. For Rutgers, while the team performance has not been great in recent weeks, the trio of Antwan Raymond, Ian Strong, and Future WR Riser of the Week(s) K.J. Duff make Rutgers a sneaky interesting team. If Strong wants to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, he likely needs to start having some of his biggest performances down the stretch. For Duff, there is a clear opportunity to put up 1,000+ Yards and be on every Watchlist heading into the 2026 CFB Season including NFL Watchlists, All-American Watchlists, and Biletnikoff Watchlists.Auburn @ Vanderbilt at 4:00 PM on SEC NetworkKey Players: Jeremiah Cobb, RB, Auburn (2026) ; Cam Coleman, WR, Auburn (2027) ; Eric Singleton Jr., WR, Auburn (2026) ; Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt (2026)The post-Hugh Freeze era begins with a tough road test against Vanderbilt. While I will be the first to congratulate Auburn on what is hopefully a brighter future moving forward, unfortunately for the Tigers, getting rid of Freeze does not come with an upgrade at QB, and that has been the issue for Auburn throughout the season. Cam Coleman remains the headliner for this team, an elite WR talent with potential to be a top 5-10 pick in the NFL Draft, but the numbers have not quite been there yet. Eric Singleton Jr. has excellent YAC ability, speed, and is very young for being Draft Eligible, but has struggled to produce this season specifically outside of a very limited, gadget role. Jeremiah Cobb has not necessarily entered the Day 2 conversation yet, but he has become the clear lead back for Auburn. Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers had his first truly good game of the season against Texas, and will look to continue that momentum against Auburn. Stowers is #2 in the FBS for Receiving Yards at the TE position.California @ Louisville at 7:00 PM on ESPN2Key Players: Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele, QB, California (2028) ; Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville (2027) ; Chris Bell, WR, Louisville (2026)One player for each of the next three Draft Classes (at least in terms of when they can first enter the NFL Draft), for 2026, Louisville's Chris Bell has excellent size, athleticism, and could develop into an excellent WR, but he is also fairly raw for someone being discussed within the 1st Round. Isaac Brown has excellent explosive ability, speed, and creation ability, but the latter in particular is hard to know how it will translate going from the ACC to the NFL at under 200 lbs. Brown will look to continue his recent dominant stretch against Cal. And then against Louisville will be Cal QB Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele. Sagapolutele had his third multi-turnover game of the season this past weekend against Virginia, but continues to show signs that if he can manage those TOs in particular that he can be a potential NFL Starter / future 1st Round Pick.Florida State @ Clemson at 7:00 PM on ACCNKey Players: Ousmane Kromah, RB, Florida State (2028) ; Micahi Danzy, WR, Florida State (2027) ; Duce Robinson, WR, Florida State (2026) ; Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson (2026) ; Gideon Davidson, RB, Clemson (2028) ; T.J. Moore, WR, Clemson (2027) ; Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson (2026) ; Tristan Smith, WR, Clemson (2026)This game against Florida State and Clemson – even with the injury to Bryant Wesco Jr. – could potentially be an excellent showcase of WR talent in the next two Draft Classes. The big name eligible for the Draft this year is likely this Week's WR Riser of the Week(s), Antonio Williams. Williams will look to build on his first great game of the season against Florida State, and alongside Williams will be former SE Missouri St. WR Tristan Smith and sophomore T.J. Moore. It was actually Smith who had the more targets between the pairing last week, but Moore is the player within this trio that generally seems to be highest rated in Devy. Most likely the offense runs through Williams & Moore, but it would not be a surprise to see Smith – who offers a bit of a different skillset at 6' 5” – getting more involved. For Florida State, two excellent explosive athletes in Duce Robinson and Micahi Danzy will look to make explosive plays downfield or potentially even in the running game. Danzy has been a future Riser recently, and Robinson is at least an athlete worth monitoring. Aside from the WR positions, Cade Klubnik will need to continue and play well to hopefully restore his Draft Stock even to Day 2, and there are a pair of intriguing freshmen RBs who may make appearances in this game between Ousmane Kromah and Gideon Davidson.//Not too much to add today, and I should be back on Tuesday to discuss these 2026 QB Games most of all.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's 24-7 win over Washington, what stood out on both sides of the ball, and what it all means for the Wolverines moving forward. They open with a look at Michigan's offense, which cruised to 417 yards on 6.1 yards per play, and arguably was more productive than 24 points would suggest. They discuss strong performances from Bryce Underwood, Jordan Marshall, Zack Marshall, Andrew Marsh and the offensive line. They break down what worked in play-calling, areas to improve in opponent territory and other observations from Underwood's efficient game. In the second half of the episode, they look at the defense's emphatic bounce-back performance after last week's struggles at USC. They discuss Michigan's tangible improvements in the pass-rush, in tackling and a dominant day stopping the run. They look at standout individual players, and what else went into holding Washington to seven points and just 62 second-half yards. They close the episode with a zoomed-out look at where Michigan stands with five games remaining in its regular season.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Dennis Underwood, founder of Cyber Crucible, a cybersecurity software company transforming how businesses manage digital risk. Dennis shares his journey from government contracting to building a global SaaS powerhouse generating $1.2 million in recurring revenue with a lean 10-person team. He discusses the challenges of bootstrapping, the power of automation, and his mission to reshape cybersecurity through innovation and AI. Packed with lessons on leadership, resilience, and sustainable growth, this episode offers a masterclass in scaling a tech business the smart way. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dennis Underwood, the hardest thing in growing a small business is letting go of someone who's doing a good job but no longer fits the company's evolving needs. He explains that as a product company grows and its focus shifts, even capable and loyal team members might not align with new directions. Making those tough decisions—especially without a “services bench” to reassign people—is one of the most challenging yet necessary parts of leadership and sustainable growth. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dennis Underwood's favorite business book that has helped him the most is Ready, Fire, Aim. He says it changed his perspective on perfectionism and speed in business. Early on, he focused too much on building the perfect product before going to market—a mindset that worked in government projects but not in fast-moving business environments. The book taught him that customers don't expect perfection; they value progress and adaptability. This lesson helped him launch faster, learn from feedback, and grow Cyber Crucible more effectively. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Dennis Underwood, a great way to grow a small business is by constantly learning from practical, real-world insights. He recommends checking out resources like Y Combinator's startup library, which offers valuable articles for founders, and following industry experts on LinkedIn—especially those who challenge conventional thinking and share unfiltered lessons from experience. For podcasts, he values shows like Grow A Small Business, The How of Business, and Masters of Scale, which feature actionable strategies, founder stories, and mindset shifts for entrepreneurs. These platforms, along with consistent self-education and reflection, help business owners stay grounded, adaptable, and ahead of the curve. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Dennis Underwood recommends using tools that enhance automation, efficiency, and clarity in business operations. He highlights Google Gemini as a powerful AI resource for generating content, refining documentation, and improving communication. By uploading company materials and analyzing AI feedback, he identifies areas needing clearer messaging. For small businesses, he believes leveraging such intelligent tools helps streamline processes, boost productivity, and strengthen strategic growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Dennis Underwood's advice to his younger self on day one of starting out in business would be to have the courage to move faster and fully commit to his vision. He admits he stayed too long in the comfort of government contracting because it felt secure, even though his goals were in commercial software. He says he should have moved out of Washington, D.C. earlier, left behind the “golden handcuffs” of steady contracts, and focused completely on building his product company. His biggest lesson—don't let familiarity or fear delay your leap into the business you truly want to build.

Offense vs Wisconsin Starts at 1:00 Are Michigan fans turning beet red or was it just hot? This game looks better on rewatch and followed the preview fairly closely. Bryce Underwood took a leap forward in this game, he has the occasional accuracy issue and isn't testing the middle of the field, but he's starting to hit guys downfield. Andrew Marsh and Donaven McCulley also took a huge lea. This is encouraging considering Goodwin was barely targeted, Semaj has been having catching issues, and Frederick Moore is off the team. You can rotate most positions but not the wide receivers. Russel Bellamy has been getting unfairly judged for the receivers. Wisconsin has a very good rush defense and Michigan put up pretty good numbers. Underwood needs to get the ball out a little quicker. Sprague will grade out negatively but he generally does it well when he knows the right assignment. The offensive line is young, they need some time to get better. Lindsey plays off the screen game really well. Has Michigan gotten a holding call all year on defense? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Wisconsin Starts at 39:33 10 points from the opposition but three came from a sad field goal. They barely got to 200 yards of offense until "kill the clock mode". Rod Moore being back instantly makes this defense much better. Don't rotate him and just keep him on the field all game? Zeke Berry is back from injury, he missed a tackle but was otherwise fine. This defense seems like they miss a lot of tackles but we're comparing it to the best defense in recent school history. Jimmy Rolder was in his element, one time he almost picked up a fullback and threw him. Michigan goes cover zero in a situation that makes no sense. Everyone in the stands keeps turning towards Seth when this happens. Brandyn Hillman is reckless which is helpful sometimes, sometimes it hurts you. Please don't be weird against USC. 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:05:20 Takes hotter than Michigan Stadium this Saturday. Michigan missed a 27 yard field goal, was it the hold? They did (just barely) block a punt and almost blocked a second one. Hollenbeck was blasting them in this game. What is up with Semaj's punt returns? Is he being told not to take any chances? Should you run a QB sneak on 4th and inches near your own red zone? Luke Fickell is Brady Hoke. They weren't trying to win the game in the 4th quarter, you can't have a six minute field goal drive in this situation. Seth is about to start charting an umpire's spatial awareness. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:34:02 UCLA 42, Penn State 37 UCLA has been awful all season but they looked like the #7 team in the country in Pasadena. James Franklin partially blamed the travel. Coming into this weekend, UCLA never led in any of their four games. In this game they never trailed. Tim Skipper has as many wins over top 10 teams as James Franklin. Penn State was a playoff team but now they have to beat Ohio State to have a chance, Was this the biggest Big Ten upset ever?  Nebraska 38, Michigan State 27 In most weeks this would be the funniest game of the week. Michigan State ran for 2.3 YPC and Chiles threw two interception into Nebraska chests. Their backup looked pretty good so is there a QB controversy?  Washington 24, Maryland 20 Maryland took a 20-0 lead but road Washington dominated October Maryland. Washington is still without their best defensive end, linebacker, and defensive back. Mike Locksley is 0-10 coming out of bye weeks.  Illinois 43, Purdue 27 The Purdue offense is actually functional. Each QB threw for over 300 yards.  Northwestern 42, ULM 7 One day we'll have something to say about Northwestern, but not today. Ohio State 42, Minnesota 3 They let Julian Sayin cook.

Offense vs Nebraska Starts at 1:00 Is yogurt, honey, and granola a snack? Dave Nastersnacks will give us the answer. Oklahoma was a 24-13 loss but it felt worst than that, this was 30-27 win but it felt better than that (but also worse!). The domination on both lines was more notable than some of the silly, bad things that happened. Between Oklahoma and Nebraska, Michigan hasn't had a complete touchdown drive (but this game had an 8 minute drive to go up by 10). Caveats aside, we're on the verge of saying Greg Crippen is good after he blocked three guys on one play. Running stretch is hard and they're running it quite well. McCulley had a great game but was to blame on Semaj's throw being incomplete. Zero drops otherwise and ran guys over. Everyone else? Not so great. Gotta catch the ball on a slant, get used to passes from Underwood. Should they throw it to Peyton O'Leary? The running backs sure toughened up in this one. Max Bredeson blocks everyone like they're Caleb Downs in the Rose Bowl. Not many Bryce critiques. Catch the ball. Guarnera is just not making mistakes. What's the next good defensive line that Michigan will play, Ohio State? Michigan consistently got a play in, saw the look of the defense, and got a new play in.  2. Defense vs Nebraska Starts at 46:58 Time for a Wink Martindale argument? He doesn't need to do anything fancy. Just run the Iowa defense, you're not going up against an NFL offense. Brandyn Hillman is being asked to do things outside of his base job. 27 points, seven are on Biff, seven are on Hillman taunting, three are on Mangham missing a sack. Otherwise it was pretty good? Raiola was getting sacked every other play. Too many safeties missing sacks. Complaining aside, they got to the quarterback a lot and tackled well. Sanders has been playing a lot and there haven't really been any negative feelings about him. Wink would be a better poker player than Mike Debord but not as good as Jesse Minter. This game felt like Trey Pierce arrived. Cole Sullivan has absolutely emerged, he's little bit of everywhere and has freaky long arms. Defensive backs played well. The Shamari Earls PI was a bit weak. Brandyn Hillman needs to grow up, that was the most obvious personal foul in a minute. Brian usually defends players celebrating and even he says that's an obvious foul. Was it a targeting call at the end of the game? Let's talk about the Hail Mary. Why was TJ Guy dropping? Why was there a spy?  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:25:17 Takes hotter than a Wisconsin fan looking at whatever the shit that was on Saturday. If you're Nebraska, would you go for it on 4th and 2 on the opening drive? Should Michigan have called timeout at the end of the first half? Maybe Sherrone could make a better call here but we can't know that. Zvada hit a 56 yarder and a chip shot to seal it, yay. Punting was okay, how do you recruit punters? What's with Semaj at punt returns? Punt returning has been a problem for a couple years now. Kendrick Bell got the onside! Gary Danielson and Brad Nessler are washed. The turf was a little slippy?  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:51:48 Indiana 63, Illinois 10 This is the most points a top 10 team has been beaten by. This looks like Michigan's boxscore against Central. Cignetti is vindicated. How much is this Indiana being legit and Illinois never being top 10 team? Maryland 27, Wisconsin 10 The boxscore shows a relatively even game, BUT Maryland blocks a punt, field goal, and gets one of the easiest interceptions you've seen. Luke Fickell is done. The boo birds were just apathetic, which is worse than booing. 61 rush yards for Wisconsin on 42 attempts.  Oregon 41, Oregon State 7 Oregon State has fallen on hard times since college football ejected them. This game looked like a controlled scrimmage. Is Oregon really good or just beating up on bad teams? We'll see how Oregon does during a whiteout at Penn State next weekend.  Notre Dame 56, Purdue 30 Purdue's defense is really bad. Purdue is Purdue.  Iowa 38, Rutgers 28 Iowa returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown and could not stop Rutgers' QB. Both teams went up and down the field, what is happening??  USC 45, Michigan State 31 The boxscore looks a little close but MSU gets a 75 yard drive down three touchdowns. Mostly a blowout. The Spartans' defense did not have answers to USC's running game. Aidan Chiles had some explosive plays.  Washington 59, Washington State 24 Another Pacific Northwest rivalry that college football has ruined. Does Washington have the best complete package for skill position players in the conference? We don't trust Ohio State's run game.  MUSIC: "Wave Goodnight"—Jeff Rosenstock "Alien With a Sleep Mask"—Batboys "Big Dipper"—Built to Spill “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Featured Musician: Karl Kingson THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. Nebraska Preview: Defense starts around 12:15 pm Play a weird nickelized version of the Rock Long 3-3-5 that has a 235-pound former Indiana linebacker at edge and moveable guys who like to get upfield up front. If you get them blocked up correctly there are ways to gash them. The best team to use against them would be 2023 Michigan—definitely think El-Hadi being out will have an effect. Run the QB? 2. Nebraska Preview: Offense starts at noon Dylan Raiola is a year 2 five-star but hasn't taken that next step despite Nebraska spending a lot of money to put talent around him and gave him Air Raid expert Dana Holgorsen, but they weren't that impressive vs Cincy. Their transfer OL haven't worked out, and they're not sure who's their LT. Those receivers are legit though. 3. Interview w John U. Bacon, author of The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald starts around 12:30 pm Bacon has a new book, so we have him on to talk about the haunting story of the Great Lakes' most famous shipwreck, and the lives, loved ones, and Dodge Chargers that were left behind. Pre-Order Link: http://johnubacon.com/ 4. CMU After Review starts when we're done with Bacon They put the air back in the ball. Underwood runs make the whole offense easier. CMU offense wasn't much of a test, but we got to try out the Barham at Edge thing, and want to see it transitioned to the next phase. Also need to talk about QB runs and why Michigan hasn't been able to fit them.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Week 4. Early Reflections (0:32 – 4:26) Griffin celebrated the “first 2-0 of the season.” Lonte added, “Great weekend for us going 2-0… all the big games delivered.” Griffin recalled missing Tennessee-Georgia moments at an Arkansas watch party, while Lonte defended his Southern Miss pick, saying they “dominated this game” over App State. Market Volatility (4:27 – 6:40) Griffin called college line swings “chaos compared to the NFL or MLB.” Lonte noted CLV matters only “55% on three-plus moves.” Utah vs. Texas Tech (6:40 – 11:07) Utah's “60% rush success rate” and Morton's road issues (“80 grade at home, under 60 away”) led Lonte to lean Utah/under, projecting “23-20.” Griffin agreed: Utah -3. Michigan vs. Nebraska (11:43 – 14:33) Underwood's 114 yards, 2 TDs boost Michigan vs. Nebraska's weak run defense (“outside top 120 EPA”). Lonte leaned Huskers as home dogs; Griffin backed that angle. Auburn vs. Oklahoma (16:09 – 19:13) Auburn's defense “first in rush success rate allowed.” Lonte called for “23-20 or 20-17,” taking Auburn +6.5 and under. Griffin agreed, eyeing +7. Illinois vs. Indiana (20:21 – 25:02) Illinois' veteran team and Duke road win contrasted with Indiana QB Mendoza, who “struggles against blitz and man coverage.” Lonte liked Illinois +4.5/over. Best Bets (26:03 – 31:12) Lonte: UConn -21 (UConn “top 15 in success rate” vs. Ball State's defense “outside top 110”). Griffin: Utah -3 (trust in home edge, QB splits). Takeaway Defense, weak schedules, and market inefficiencies drove every angle. Player stats (Underwood's rushing, UConn's efficiency) and team metrics (Auburn's #1 defense) shaped sharp Week 4 picks.

In this week's episode Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 63-3 victory over Central Michigan, focusing on the aggressive approach with freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. Underwood scrambled for six of his nine runs highlighting the likely instruction from the coaching staff to not hesitate to pull the ball down whenever there was a question on a passing play. Borges noted the importance of streamlining passing concepts for Underwood so he can grow in the passing game week to week, Borges also broke down the Wolverines' newfound emphasis on the stretch play on Chip Lindsey's watch and explained its impact on nakeds. Borges also detailed several key plays including a beautiful flood route as and a quarterback counter for a touchdown. He gave the offense an overall grade of B+, with improvements expected against Nebraska.

Michigan football decided to take the training wheels off freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood in Week 3 against Central Michigan and it paid immediate dividends. A week after the offense struggled mightily against Oklahoma on the road, the Wolverines compiled 625 yards of total offense as Underwood passed for 235 yards and rushed for 114 more. Needless to say, the Wolverine won't be "taking the air out of the ball ever again, not with this guy and taking snaps," according to acting head coach Biff Poggi. Andrew and Tony open the show by discussing the lessons learned from the Central Michigan blowout victory, and then play a game of "overreaction/underreaction/proper reaction" from Michigan football's first three weeks. Then after a quick break, the guys talk all things Nebraska and a fun matchup against sophomore Dylan Raiola, the son of former Detroit Lions offensive lineman Dominic Raiola. Will the lessons learned from Week 3 be enough to pull off a tough road victory? And last but not least, the guys make their predictions for the Michigan-Nebraska matchup and share their picks for the rest of the big games this weekend.

With Steve out, Aaron McIntire and Noah Deace take the wheel on this week's Michigan Podcast. Coming off a 63-3 rout of Central Michigan, the focus is once again on Bryce Underwood. Aaron, an Iowa fan, brings an outsider's perspective, questioning if Sherrone Moore will fully unleash Underwood's explosive talent in Big Ten play or rein him in against top foes like Nebraska or Ohio State.

Things Discussed: Story time with Craig: Where the name Sooners comes from: it's the guys who cheated to get to the land stolen from the Indians. Oklahoma: Ultraconservatism made it feel like they're not trying to win this game. Every time they got to a decision point they made the conservative call. They ran on 3rd & 6, got four yards, and kicked a field goal. They punted rather than give ZVADA a shot at a 55-yarder. They kicked (and missed) a FG with 3 minutes before the half on 4th & 2 instead of trying to end the half. You've got 7 guys on the LOS and the CBs are off: you have to take that. Probably going to be a blip: you have to have a lot of confidence in your defense to play the way Oklahoma did. Michigan's gameplan: do all the things you do with a freshman QB. Oklahoma's gameplan: take away all the things people do with a freshman QB. It felt like a Dantonio Quarters where they have a safety who only cares about your run game and our disjoined offensive gameplans from years past where we don't have a plan to deal with aggression. Defense: Every vet played worse than his norm. Didn't know how to fit their gaps vs a +1 run game. Brian: That's the +1 run game. They ran Mateer 19 times—that is going balls to the wall. PFF scores: We don't agree with them. Grades for OL: Crippen and Norton were okay, Efobi okay, Sprague 2 big bads, Gio was good until he got hurt, Z-Marsh is not ready—Klein was a big loss as a blocker. Underwood: worse on the review than we thought. He missed some early reads and then Oklahoma sped him up. Also had major fetters on from his coaching staff. Once they're more confident in what they're seeing they'll trust him more. He can't read a smash route right now, so it's a pickle. Disappointed with Chip: You're supposed to be the guy who Malzahns our offense. Sam: they're playing the 2023 Penn State game. Difference in that game was Michigan had the top two defenses in the country. But that 2nd defense is on the field: Benny, Guy, Moore, Hausmann: That's the 2nd team! Defense: Predictable response: put 12 personnel on the field and go 4-wide. Wink needs to learn he can get away with regular-ass nickel unless they have impact blocking TEs. When you're missing tackles and chips and have vets busting there's too much on them. "Too much" may have been Game 2 with injuries piling up at cornerback, Barham out for a half, and playing in Oklahoma.

In this week's episode Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 24-13 loss to Oklahoma and the upcoming game against Central Michigan. Borges highlighted the need for better protection and communication among the offensive line and tight ends, noting the inexperience of the current players. Borges again praised Bryce Underwood's talent and long-term potential but pointed out his struggles versus the Sooners, scrambling unnecessarily at times, and not progressing reads at others. He later pointed out the unrelenting pressure Underwood began facing due to breakdowns on the offensive line. Borges highlighted the potential benefit of adding more quarterback runs to the offensive menu. He suggested the offensive line could benefit from utilizing more spread looks and zone runs. Borges also praised the jumbo package's effectiveness, but noted its limited use, and suggested its increased utilization as another possible adjustment. He set goals for the upcoming CMU game: 30+ points, 150-180 rushing yards, and 200 passing yards to get the offense back on track before the matchup with Nebraska.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's 34-17 win over New Mexico to open its 2025 season. They open with a look at the Wolverines' offense. They break down what they saw from Bryce Underwood in his collegiate debut, what it could mean for the rest of the season, as well as the significance of some key returning pass-catchers and offensive linemen stepping up. They also discuss Justice Haynes' star-caliber Michigan debut at running back, and why that could arguably be a bigger deal than Underwood's debut. In the second half of the episode, they look at some key takeaways from the defensive side of the ball. They discuss why the box score might not be as pretty as expected, but why that may not matter much moving forward.

Featured Musician: Magic Toaster THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things to be said.]  --------------------- 1. New Mexico Preview: Offense starts at the top They've got a very 2022 Colorado State vibe after importing a Big Sky team. We like their Big Sky RBs better than MSU's. Mikey Keene-ish QB wasn't the reason they gave Oregon trouble. 2. Preview in Review: Defense starts at 11:24 The wily open defensive end is. The rest of lines and their secondary are terrible, save a Bruce Feldman Freak who had six kick return touchdowns in the FCS. 3. Preview in Review: Defense starts at 22:58 We're so into Metcalfs. Shark Teeth mode now with players behind players. Only thing is they don't have so many superstars—just good guys all around. Can Jyaire Hill step forward into one? Benny? Derrick Moore is the one EXTRA guy that we can't lose. 4. Preview in Review: Offense starts at 35:50 Surviving Evan Link.
