Michigan-CSU recap: D-Line dominates, McNamara leaves the door open for McCarthy

Following the Michigan football team's 51-7 win over Colorado State, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the two biggest storylines ruminating from the Wolverines' victory. They begin with a look at Michigan's dominant defensive line, and how the group met and exceeded week one expectations. They look at the breakout pass-rushers at the edge position, how the interior is improved from years' past. They discuss which players may push for a starting job in the next month, and how to assess the performance. In the second half of the episode, they look at the ongoing quarterback battle between Cade McNamara and JJ McCarthy. They look at how McNamara struggled in week 1, his surprising postgame comments about the battle and what both things say about the quarterback battle in general. They close with a brief look at Michigan's depth at several spots compared to last season.
