The Wolverine247 Podcast is back with its latest episode, as 247Sports’ Michigan beat writers break down the latest news and discussion surrounding Michigan football, basketball and recruiting.
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the Michigan football team’s 24-15 win over Penn State, how the Wolverines made a statement to the rest of the country and other thoughts ruminating from the weekend.
They open with a look at Michigan’s offense, which stuck to the ground in the entire second half and controlled the game against arguably the nation’s best run defense. They opine on what the unique game plan says about the Wolverines, Penn State and the rest of Michigan’s season. They next turn to the defense, which continued to look like possibly the nation’s best defense in another largely shutdown performance, and discuss a Nittany Lions offense that has been shut down multiple times this season.
In the final half of the episode, they look at how Michigan overcame a chaotic weekend resulting in its head coach being suspended, and why the Wolverines are becoming – and leaning into — college football’s next great team the rest of the country loves to root against.
