In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the Michigan football team’s national championship matchup against Washington. They discuss keys to the game on both sides of the ball, and make their predictions for the matchup.
They open with a look at the biggest keys for Michigan’s defense, as it prepares to face off against the top-ranked passing attack in the country. They discuss Michael Penix Jr., Washington’s talented receivers and its award-winning offensive line. They look at how a surging Michigan pass-rush can alter the Huskies’ game plan, why being aggressive in the secondary can pay dividends and how stopping a run game trending the wrong way can be effective in stopping the pass game, too.
In the second half of the episode, they look at the biggest keys for the Wolverines’ offense. They discuss why this could be a big game for Michigan’s play-action game, why the Wolverines should be able to sustain drives and kill clock with an effective run game, as well as a couple other weak points in Washington’s defense.
They close with some parting thoughts on this year’s Michigan team, why it’s built to win a national championship, and make their predictions for Monday’s game.
