The Sponsors

We can do this because people support us. You should support them too so they’ll want to do it again next year! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be all be very sad ex-SBNation employees with “real” jobs.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, Lantana Hummus and The Ann Arbor District Library

--------------------------------------------

1. Offense vs WMU

starts at 1:00

Michigan’s pass protection was good but were never really given opportunities. Run blocking wasn't a quantum leap forward compared to previous, but that’s not bad because Michigan’s run blocking is already good. Shea’s throws were mostly very good, he feels like the 5 star he was touted to be. Tru Wilson and Jake McCurry looked sharp in garbage time. Can we see more Hudson and Honigford please?

2. Defense vs WMU

starts at 17:55

Carlo Kemp was the big story of the week, earning a net 7.5 on this week’s UFR. Who knows if Dwumfour will ever emerge, but Kemp is on track to be a 3-tech starter. Kwitty Paye looked good. Josh Ross looks like he’s pulling away from Devin Gil. LaVert Hill is not A+ yet but just an A is fine.

3. Gimmicky Top Five: Real Schools That Sound Fake

starts at 37:04

Brian and Seth get animated about North Texas and armadillos. Then they begin naming their top 5 real colleges that sound fake..

4. SMU Preview

starts at 58:56

SMU got shredded by North Texas and then TCU. They’re not good and probably the worst team on Michigan’s schedule this year. They have a Kansas transfer at tackle (!). The Mustangs have a pretty good slot receiver though. There’s just not much talent on this roster anywhere and a ton of transfers.
