Podcast 09-06-18 (Notre Dame, offensive line and Western Michigan)

This week, Lorenz and Shaw break down the Michigan football team’s loss at Notre Dame and what went wrong for the Wolverines. Topping the list, unsurprisingly, were Michigan’s issues on the offensive line, what it means moving forward and how the Wolverines should handle the starting tackle positions. Also on the list were Michigan’s issues converting on offense and a lack of an identity, what panic level Wolverine fans should hold and other things that went wrong on Saturday. The conversation then shifts to where and how Michigan can improve in a favorable next few weeks of the schedule, how the season outlook compares this week to before the season began and some discussion over how warranted and reactionary Michigan fans are compared to other schools. The podcast closes with some other questions, including discussions about Shea Patterson, Brad Hawkins, Michigan’s defensive tendency to over pursue against mobile quarterbacks and what, outside of a win, could constitute as a success for Michigan this weekend against Western Michigan.
