In this episode, 247Sports’ Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team’s 19-17 win over Illinois, looking at what went well for the Wolverines, what didn’t and what it all means for Michigan’s upcoming matchup against No. 2 Ohio State.
The open with a look at Michigan’s offense, and what went awry for the Wolverines so they only scored 19 points in the game. They discuss Michigan’s struggling pass game, some signs of optimism and what’s realistic to expect from the passing attack moving forward. They also look at the Wolverines’ injury riddled run game, some play-calling surprises and other thoughts on where the offense can improve.
In the second half of the episode, they turn their attention to the defense. They debate Illinois’ third-quarter rushing success, Michigan’s lack of a pass rush and other factors that could play a role in next week’s bout with the Buckeyes. They also pivot the conversation into an early preview of Ohio State’s offense.
They close with a discussion about the intangible value of a “gritty” win for the Wolverines, and debate if it can spark momentum heading into the team’s most important week of the season.
