This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]

Hail Mary, full of grace. We are going to need some Pope Leo prayers in this one. The hated rivals find themselves headed to East Lansing with a big smile and that cocky swagger that is a constant in their color scheme. Granted, many times it is unwarranted, but depending on the Walmart sale items, […]

Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird.
McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

At 7-0 with a 38-13 win over Michigan State Saturday, Indiana has moved up to the No. 2 spot in the latest AP Poll. This is, for the second consecutive week, the highest ranking in program history. With Miami’s Friday night loss to Louisville, Indiana likely entered Saturday’s game knowing that this would be possible, […]

Things got off to a surprising start in Bloomington. After Michigan State took a touchback on the opening kick, the first play from scrimmage was a 3-yard loss on a Makhi Frazier run. That was not the surprising part. Next play was a checkdown to Frazier for no gain. Still not the surprise. On 3rd […]

Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]

Michigan came into Saturday’s game against USC, if not riding high, at least feeling good about itself. After admittedly “taking the air out of the ball” on offense in a week two loss to Oklahoma, the Wolverines opened things up offensively, loosening the reins on freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and getting more creative in their […]

Let’s roll the tape: Not going to sugarcoat it, this was a rough one to rewatch. Dropping a home game in embarrassing fashion to 1-4 UCLA is one thing, but looking as utterly hapless as Michigan State did speaks volumes about the state of the program in year 2 under Jonathan Smith. Speaking of the […]
