Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the No. 2 Michigan football team’s 30-3 season-opening win over East Carolina. They look at the Wolverines’ offense and defense, and even go on an impromptu tangent about college football’s television problem.
They open with a look at the offense, which included a stellar pass game showing and a mediocre day rushing the ball. They look at the strong performances from Roman Wilson and JJ McCarthy, and what led to them. They also look at other offensive standouts. They close the first half of the episode with a look at the run game, which had its worst statistical performance since 2021, and debate how much of a concern it was.
In the second half of the episode, they look at the defensive side of things, including a number of new starters and role players who caught their attention. They then close with a discussion about the game’s broadcast, and why the move to streaming broadcasts is bad for fans and college football.
