Offense vs Oklahoma Starts at 0:54 That... went better than we expected. Seth was right about Oregon's offensive line. Michigan won this game by listening to the MGoPodcast! Or at least they looked at the film and did the obvious thing to do. Offensively it looks like they tightened it up and simplified things, they looked at things Bryce was good at a year ago and emphasized his legs. It looks like Bryce went through some progressions and then decided to scramble a couple times. There were some plays that could've gone better but it wasn't on Bryce's decision making, Oklahoma was just covering the field well. Savion Hiter screwed up a zone read twice, freshman mistake (that had us and Bryce rattled). If you want to win a game against Oklahoma you need to run Underwood 18 times a game and that's what they did - Whittingham wished he ran more. Bryce seems more comfortable rolling out - that lob to Hiter on the sidelines was right out of his high school film. Fumbles need to be cleaned up, QBs aren't active in practice so they're probably not practicing ball security as much. Don't pitch the ball over a defender's head. They won by game-managing and being content with 17 points. Jason Beck had a fantastic gameplan with what he had against a hyper-aggressive defense. The Marshall-Cat seems redundant when you have Bryce's legs. Savion Hiter has it and is making pre-season All-SEC players look silly. They're finding ways to get Marsh the ball. JJ Buchanan is... really good. They really only used the starting wide receivers, Goodwin, Travis Johnson, and Ffrench did not contribute. Pass protection was generally very good, they were also going against one of the best run defenses in America. Michigan doesn't quite have the mental processing speed yet but all things considered they did pretty well. We go about 47 minutes before complaining about the rhino, which means it went a lot better.  2. Defense vs Oklahoma Starts at 54:15 Can't ask for much more than only giving up 10 points. That said, it was apparent that Oklahoma's o-line was very banged up, they had two guys rushing back from knee sprains. Michigan ran a 3-3-5 because they only needed to run their two good defensive tackles, this probably won't translate well against better offensive lines. Dom Nichols has earned his star. Jay Hill's gameplan was a weird hybrid of Don Brown and Jesse Minter - we're a man-to-man team but we're also confusing the quarterback? Bracy punching the ball out was reminiscent of his play at Memphis. Nate Marshall is Josh Uche. He was a great pass rusher but got baited on some run plays. Cam Brandt only had six snaps, they're giving the snaps to guys who make plays (this didn't happen last year). Palepale didn't play but Lea'ea did. Overall the coverages were excellent and even zone (which they don't usually do) was good enough. NOB made a play. There were a lot of hugs with Cole Sullivan after the game, would've been nice to have him at Michigan on this defense. Snowden was excellent, you've got three NFL-ready defensive backs on the field (not including Earls yet). Jyaire Hill - stupid penalty, don't do it again. Pretty interception. Defensive tackles were nice, Pierce was the best to stand up to double teams. Defensive lines will be graded on a curve.  3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory Starts at 1:30:34 Takes hotter than Brian predicting the Oklahoma gameplan. We saw a field goal! What was the biggest punting EPA above expected? Punting might become a dangerous weapon on this team. Should the caught punt have been a touch back? It's when you have possession but that feels wrong. They go for it on 4th and 1, Bryce is a big guy for sneaks. Are the penalties partially because there's a new coaching staff with new schemes they're thinking through and also some "Sherrone"-ness leftover? Don't rush the punter on 4th and 5 or less. Remember, if you touch the ball you can assault the punter. Should that helmet coming off been a penalty? Certain penalties should go away over the course of the year, it's a very young offense learning new things. This crew was an SEC crew that was a bit more ticky-tacky about holds. The Oklahoma fans were great and everyone we've talked to said they had a great time. Home and home games like this are so fun and are what college football is all about. Everyone is going to remember this game, Michigan beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma fans will probably always remember the game last year.    4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 2:04:31 Lightning Round: Indiana 55, Howard 0 Wisconsin 36, Western Illinois 9 Nebraska 56, BGSU 7 Michigan State 35, Eastern Michigan 7 Maryland 38, UConn 14 UCLA 28, SDSU 10 Minnesota 13, Mississippi State 38 Rutgers 21, Boston College 28 Purdue 35, Wake Forest 38 Oregon 31, Oklahoma State 39 The score was close but Oklahoma State dominated. Seth was right about Oregon's offensive line being a problem. Oklahoma State snaps a 21 game FBS losing streak (they still have an 18 game Big 12 losing streak). Oklahoma State outgained Oregon 554 to 281.  Ohio State 23, Texas 24 Texas goes into the 4th quarter down 23-3 and rallies back. There's a hilariously missed 45 yard field goal. The Ohio State offense was Jeremiah Smith and that was about it. 16 of Julian Sayin's 32 passes went to Jeremiah Smith. This is Ohio State's third straight loss to a P4 team, in which they've scored 10, 10, and 23 points.  Iowa 16, Iowa State 13 The most El Assico score possible. Iowa had a coherent looking offense at times, that's scary! Iowa has a wide receiver, Tony Diaz, who already has 15 catches on the year. The Hawkeyes did only rush for 3.2 yards per carry. Illinois 27, Duke 31 This was close all game and was the opposite of El Assico until the 4th quarter. Katin Houser looks better at Illinois than he ever did at Michigan State, Collin Dixon is a dangerous wide receiver (11 catches for 166 yards, 3 TDs). Washington 16, Utah State 14 This is alarm bells going off for Washington. The second week in a row that Washington QB Demon Williams is the lead rusher, their one-two punch is gone. No Denzel Boston? They just can't seem to score in the redzone. Washington was +3 in field goal margin and only won by two.  Penn State 27, Temple 9 Penn State controlled this game but it was very un-inspiring. Temple had a 91 yard drive that ended in a field goal, Penn State was giving up 50 yard drives.  USC 49, Louisiana 30 USC still looks like USC under Lincoln Riley. Louisiana's QB is named Lunch Winfield.    MUSIC: "Rein Me In"—Sam Fender and Olivian Dean "The Rising"—Bruce Springsteen "4EVER"—Clairo “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

Andrew, Aaron and Ryan were at the Big House as Michigan beat Oklahoma 17-10, improving to 2-0 on the season.

The Los Angeles Rams are STOCK DOWN after getting crushed by the San Francisco 49ers in Australia — and Maggie Gray thinks their travel strategy deserves serious scrutiny. The Rams arrived in Melbourne just over 24 hours before kickoff, while the 49ers arrived nearly a week early. San Francisco won 27-7, and the Rams appeared to fade badly as the game went on.Could the Rams' decision to fly to Australia so late come back to haunt them in a crowded NFC West? If Los Angeles is battling San Francisco, Seattle and Arizona for the division — and potentially home-field advantage in the NFC — every game matters.Maggie also gives STOCK DOWN to New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye after an ugly fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks. Maye threw THREE interceptions in the fourth quarter as New England blew a 10-0 lead and lost 13-10. The bigger question: was Maye's MVP-caliber 2025 season helped by a favorable schedule, and does he become a different quarterback when he faces elite defenses?Then there's Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham. After Michigan barely survived Western Michigan, Whittingham said Bryce Underwood's starting quarterback job was "not infinite." The problem? Underwood appeared genuinely surprised when reporters asked him about those comments. With No. 10 Oklahoma coming to Ann Arbor, Maggie says Whittingham has to understand that Michigan comes with a completely different level of media scrutiny than Utah.Maggie also gives STOCK DOWN to the Los Angeles Dodgers for waiting so long to put Shohei Ohtani on the injured list. Ohtani is dealing with left knee and right biceps issues and is eligible to return September 23 — meaning he could have just FIVE regular-season games to get his timing back before the playoffs.And in the matchup breakdown, Maggie looks ahead to Vikings vs. Packers. Can Jordan Love carry Green Bay against a Minnesota defense that was one of the NFL's best last season — especially without Josh Jacobs? Can Kyler Murray take advantage of Green Bay's defensive injuries and get Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison the football?Plus: Maggie's biggest STOCK UP and STOCK DOWN calls of the week.Subscribe to A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray for NFL, college football, MLB, NBA, sports analysis, predictions and opinions from a sports fan's perspective.#NFL #Packers #Vikings #Rams #DrakeMaye #MichiganFootball #Dodgers #ShoheiOhtani #CollegeFootball #AMustWinGame Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michigan Football is 1-0.How the Wolverines got there is a much more complicated conversation.Welcome to Rise to the Victors, your daily start with Michigan sports on the Blue By 90 network with Trevor McCue and Darnell Porter.Michigan somehow escaped Western Michigan with a win Saturday night after an offensive performance that raised significantly more questions than anyone expected entering Week 1.And the biggest questions surround Bryce Underwood.After an offseason filled with positive reports about Underwood's development in Jason Beck's offense, some of the same issues that plagued his freshman season resurfaced once the game went live. Kyle Whittingham acknowledged Monday that Underwood's performance was disappointing compared with what Michigan saw throughout fall camp, but stressed that this was his first live game in a completely new offense and that the Wolverines remain confident in his development.So how concerned should Michigan fans actually be?Trevor and Darnell break down what went wrong with Underwood, why the problems went well beyond the quarterback and what Michigan needs to change before Oklahoma comes to the Big House.Whittingham actually came away more encouraged by the offensive line after reviewing the film, but Michigan didn't run the football violently enough, struggled on third down, committed costly penalties and turnovers and allowed Western Michigan to possess the football for more than 40 minutes.There were positives, too.Michigan's defense quietly allowed only 3.3 yards per play, missed just five tackles and didn't surrender an explosive play. Rod Moore and John Henry Daley made successful returns. And JJ Buchanan emerged as a major weapon in the passing game — including, of course, the catch that somehow allowed Michigan to escape with a victory.Michigan didn't play well.Michigan still won.Now the Wolverines have one week to figure out what went wrong before Oklahoma arrives in Ann Arbor.

Football is finally here.Welcome to Rise to the Victors, your daily start with Michigan sports on the Blue By 90 network with Trevor McCue and Darnell Porter.On the final Friday without Michigan Football, Trevor and Darnell look back at one of the strangest offseasons in program history — and how months of chaos eventually gave way to something Michigan desperately needed under Kyle Whittingham: calm.The coaching staff was rebuilt. The roster stayed together. Spring football came and went. Michigan worked through summer and fall camp without another crisis. Whittingham has spent the last several months establishing exactly what he wants his program to become.Now we finally get to see it.

Things Discussed: Smart, old secondary. Can play those Fangio games where you recognize patterns in how they align and switch coverages. Going to be special to watch that. DTs: Lea'ea and Etta are not doubles-eaters, so we may have to play differently than we have in the past up front. Can you play 3-4? Sure but that will wear out Pierce. Would love for Palepale to come online Utah best offense in Whittingham's tenure last year with Dampier, who is not remotely accurate. Bryce: Surrounding cast much better (28 drops last year!), his legs included. Dante Moore at UCLA was the comp to last year. Okay gets you to 20th in SP+, better than that needs Bryce to step up. Can he? Yeah, think Gardner is too low on Bryce's ability to read a defense and hit tiny windows. DB on Marsh was scared and that gave breathing room. WMU: Not the kind of offense you expect to see from a MAC team. Big offensive line, Walt Bell runs a complicated run offense that really tests how well your defensive rules work inside. WMU Defense: I love their nickel, but they have some tiny guys in the secondary who are just not going to be able to handle JJ Buchanan. Expect Bryce to look better in this game than he will most of the year. Roddy Gayle litigation: NCAA shot themselves in the foot, but not certain how the court will rule. TRO is a good start, next step is a preliminary injunction it's important to win so he can keep practicing, but the emergency ruling will be the ballgame, and it's not certain the judges will side with him. Sucks because the McCoy injury means they need Roddy now.

Michigan Football is back.Welcome to Michigan Weekly, a weekly Michigan sports conversation on the Blue By 90 network with Trevor McCue and Nick Coston, aka Big Boutros.This week, Trevor and Nick preview Michigan's season opener against Western Michigan and the first game of the Kyle Whittingham era.Saturday night will give us our first real look at Bryce Underwood in Jason Beck's offense, Jay Hill's new defense and a Michigan team that has spent the entire offseason talking about being tougher, more physical and better prepared for 2026. But how much can we actually learn from one game against a MAC opponent?After months of projections, press conferences and trying to figure out exactly what Michigan will become under Whittingham, we finally get our first real data point Saturday night.And remember: watch the process before you watch the scoreboard. Oklahoma comes to the Big House one week later. That's when things get serious.Michigan Weekly is a deeper weekly conversation about Michigan Football, basketball, recruiting and the biggest stories surrounding the Wolverines.Every Wednesday, Trevor McCue and Nick Coston (Big Boutros) go beyond the headlines to talk through what we know, what we think we know and what we're still trying to figure out.〽️ Michigan Weekly

No. 16 Michigan opens the Whittingham era Saturday night vs. Western Michigan at The Big House. Voice of the Broncos Robin Hook joins Mike to preview WMU's title core, dual-threat QB Broc Lowry, RB Jalen Buckley, and how the Broncos see a new-look Michigan team. GO BLUE!

Whittingham says fall camp went about as well as Michigan could have hoped, particularly when it comes to staying healthy. Now he wants to see a clean football team Saturday — limited pre-snap mistakes, sound execution and maximum effort as the Wolverines adjust to everything that comes with an opener.

Kyle Whittingham has arrived at Michigan with a résumé, but The Format Podcast asks whether he understands what the Wolverines job demands. Michigan football is not built for modest expectations, vague goals, or simply being competitive in November. We examine Whittingham's message, the pressure created by Ohio State, Big Ten championship expectations, recruiting, and the standard established by the program's success. Is his approach leadership for a transition year, or does it reveal a coach who does not grasp the urgency?

Football fans, especially those following the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry, won't want to miss this candid analysis!

With insights from both hosts, you'll discover why keeping the focus on preparation and execution is paramount, regardless of the pre-game hype. You'll learn about the importance of authenticity in coaching, how player-led teams often outperform those reliant on coach-driven motivation, and why the conversation around rivalry games can sometimes be more about spectacle than substance.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima open by dissecting the Michigan-Ohio State hate rivalry, debating whether Kyle Whittingham's measured comments about Ohio State are genuine or a "Trojan horse" compared to Jeremiah Smith's raw hatred of Michigan, with Albert Breer's warning that Whittingham's words will haunt him if he loses in November. The conversation pivots hard to the Browns, where Ken reveals that despite no one in local media wanting Deshaun Watson to win the starting job, he increasingly believes Watson will be "given" it out of camp over Shedeur Sanders. They play Mike Tannenbaum's blunt take that the Browns should cut ties with Watson entirely given his injury history and poor play, which Ken says just "preaches to the choir" of how locals already feel. Anthony notes the stark gap between local and national coverage, pointing out that national pundits barely mention Shedeur or the Browns at all, dismissing Cleveland's quarterback room as one of the league's worst regardless of who starts.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Utah coach Kyle Whittingham's comments downplaying the significance of rivalry hate, arguing that emotion and hatred have historically decided big games like Ohio State-Michigan and that Whittingham's measured tone concerns them. The conversation shifts into a broader college football preview, with the two debating Ryan Day's hot-seat status entering the season given his 2-4 record against Michigan and Ohio State's brutal fall schedule against USC, Indiana, and Oregon. They also share old stories from their sports-media pasts, including run-ins with Charlie Weis and John Harbaugh, and close by hyping the September 12th Ohio State-Texas primetime showdown as a potential "Browns Bowl" distraction.

Stoney hopped into the big seat with Valenti on vacation this week. He and Rico react to Skubal getting traded to the Dodgers, discuss Michigan's new coach's lack of hatred towards OSU, Akron's new sweepstakes that will allow fans to call plays, and more!

Things Discussed: Seth and Craig are on early to talk about 5th year seniors returning if they're able (won't be that many because roster spots and NIL budgets are used up). Also Detroit Tigers trades. You coulda been a contender, given the next generation something to love. Dads with young kids in Polanco jerseys, but you never see a Deivi Cruz jersey because they weren't watchable enough to care. FOOOOOOOTBALL!!! Weight gains/strength gains? Sort of an indictment on the state of the program last year if guys like Etta are making big gains (Staehling makes more sense). May also just mean the team is marketing this. Frazier we believe in, because we hear it from many places. OL was good last year but when they got to Ohio State that was a bridge too far. Babalola/Frazier/Sprague/Link? They're all tackles. Can't move Sprague. We don't know this staff well enough yet to read between the lines. Whittingham walked in like "this cupboard ain't bare." Jake Guarnera will be a great center. One thing Sherrone did well was recruit Cs. Can tell because Texas went right at him in the offseason. Bracy is going to start. Second-best safety in run support on PFF, and it really translated on his tape. That guy fills! Players insist Staehling will be a breakout guy. Sam recalls the interviews he did with a bunch of players. Expecting the anchor of the defense will be the DL. Dom Nichols will step up. Deyvid Palepale will be an impact guy. Brian: This is a harder sell for me. Let Urban in the building? Sure but don't let him see anything.

The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Tigers have a new look after trading Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Is this a good thing for Detroit, or a bad look for the MLB? NFL Preseason kicks off this week, what are we thinking about the Lions' training camp?
