  • What to make of Michigan naming Jack Tuttle starting QB ahead of Illinois game
    Oct 17 2024

    With a new quarterback under center and half the season behind them, it's a perfect time for the Michigan Wolverines (4-2) to turn the page on a frustrating season thus far. The Wolverines have named 25-year-old veteran quarterback Jack Tuttle as their starting quarterback coming off the bye week after Tuttle came into the game in relief against Washington in Week 6. Tony and Rainer start the show by discussing whether or not the second QB switch this season can change Michigan's year and if Tuttle is the guy to lead the Wolverines.

    After a quick break, the guys preview the matchup with a surprisingly-tough Illinois squad, where the Wolverines are a 3½-point favorite on the road. And last but not least, Andrew joins the show and the guys make some picks for some huge games across the country.

  • Midseason review for Michigan football: What went wrong for Wolverines and what can improve?
    Oct 11 2024

    It certainly wasn't the start to the season anyone around the Michigan football program would've dreamed of, especially aesthetically, but there's a lot of football to play for the Wolverines. With six games completed and a bye week on the schedule, Tony and Rainer sit down to give the Wolverines some grades at the midpoint of the season. How bad were the quarterbacks? Was there anything positive on the offense? And what should we make of Michigan's defense under Wink Martindale.

    Then after the break, the guys talk about where Michigan can improve in the second half of the season and what can be reasonably expected.

  • Will Michigan football ever be able to fix its offense?
    Oct 3 2024

    Time to hit the road! For the first time this season, the Michigan Wolverines will play a game away from the Big House after going 4-1 in their opening slate in Ann Arbor. The road trip isn't coming at a great time, though, as the Wolverines offense continues to sputter. Tony and Rainer open the show by discussing how Michigan's offense really made no tangible strides after the ugly win over USC and what that means going forward.

    After the first break, the guys talk about the Washington matchup and how the Wolverines matchup against a Huskies team that will look completely different from the team Michigan beat in the national title game just a few months ago.

    And last but not least, Andrew joins the show and the guys make predictions for who will win the Michigan game, plus other games around the country.

  • Michigan football panic meter? Assessing concern by position group after Texas loss.
    Sep 11 2024

    For the first time since 2021, the Michigan football team looks to rebound after a regular season loss. The Wolverines fell to No. 16 in the coaches poll after a 31-12 defeat to the Texas Longhorns and now the question is how concerned should U-M fans be?

    Tony and Rainer open the show discussing the defeat and perhaps some overlooked areas in the transfer portal. Were coaches too confident about the roster given how things have looked through two weeks? Did Kirk Campbell oversell and under deliver on offense?

    After the break, the guys breakout the worry-o-meter and assess each position group on the team and give their level of concern on a scale of 1 to 10 and discuss whether the issues can be fixed or if it will be a lingering problem throughout the season.

    Last but not least, Andrew joins the show to take a big-picture look at what we saw across college football in Week 2 and to make some picks for Week 3, including if Michigan can bounce back and cover against Arkansas State.
