Well said we be great

Texas is tough. I'd prefer this game later in the season. We'll play tough as helll though, so it should be a great game. Go blue

Toughest schedule I ever seen as a 50 yr MI FAN. WOW is gonna be exciting to say the least.

Overconfident opponent who has never been to our house, possibly inclement weather, early start (11AM essentially for TX), clutch field goal kicker, AND a defense unlike any TX has seen in the last 2 years (incl Alabama last year) all adds up to a signature Michigan victory for this new team.

Well done thanks

Good Show Guys! Not a fan of Mullings on Kick Returns either. Horns Down!

Bert aubrun made 17 fgs in a row…. Dude couldn’t name more than 5 players on the Texas roster

Run the ball

Texas 35 - Michigan 3. Easy money

Go Blue! Wolverines Devour Steer!

I wouldn't call the defense fantastic. They gave up a bunch of big plays.

Thanks for being the only rational take on this team. Literally everyone else is saying we're toast. Of course we're not 💛💙🏆👊

Didn't UM win the game...nuff said. GOBLUE!!!!

Sorry to have missed this live stream. I would’ve liked to pointed out that I was mocked back in August to even ask Dennis if Warren was in the mix as QB1. People in the chat scoffed at that, yet look who trotted out as the starter. 🧐

From what I did see of Texas play they are fast and all over the place, but you really need to pressure ewers to keep him more off balance. It is not going to be an easy game by any stretch of the imagination. It could go any way. Let's see how it goes ?

I think you’re downplaying the Texas o-line vastly. Kelvin Banks is arguably the best tackle in college and the rest are nfl talent as well. So it’s not going to be a done deal for Michigans d-line. Also you’re going to be really surprised by how deep the wr group is. You forget about Ryan Wingo, Silas Bolden and Johntay Cook. Crazy fast depth. But other than that your assessments are pretty good. D line for Texas is a little better than you’d think as well. Oh and you should look into the guys covering Colston Loveland. That’s gonna be a lot of fun. The Texas defense is really solid. It’ll be a fun game.

Fresno before the Michigan game was not ranked in Top 25 teams in the Nation! And held Number One Team in the Nation Michigan and last years Undefeated team last year Michigan and held there Rushing Yards to only 148 yards on ground. Held michigan Nation Top scoring offense in the Nation . In 2023 they AVERAGE 232 yards per game and some other teams they play they run more, against Big Ten Super teams all ranked in Top 10 Nationally. And to have a not ranked football program Fresno State holding Michigan to only 148 yards. Not to mention QB Throwing mud pies on ground. Texas won Colorado , Texas 52, Colorado 0 good luck michigan .

I did the SMASH THE NUMBER ANALYSIS. We keep Texas under 21 points. We score just enough to win.... 22-19.

This fan base is unreal. The past three seasons has spoiled everyone, including their objectivity. One lackluster game doesn’t ruin the entire season. There’s twelve games in a season, nine of which are conference tilts. There’s plenty of time for improvement.

Mullings is RB1 and Edwards is RB2. That's not a put down. It's a meritocracy. RB2 is an important position. But Mullings puts us ahead of the chains more consistently.

There were 2 drops for Warren not 4 that’s an adjusted completion percentage of 68% and you can’t say those should have been completed when Loveland is making catches on passes that SHOULDN’T be caught. And you mentioned Warren was locking onto his first read after the sack. He did that on all 26 of his dropbacks

Dennis asked multiple questions to Sherrone Moore today. Give him a like and sub!

Michigan isn’t going to score 30 unless the defense scores

It is very evident that this guy knows only a tiny amount about Texas. This Saturday is going to be an unpleasant experience for him.

GoBlue!!! Wip tex-asses!!! 💙💪🏈💪🏈💪🏈💪💙!!!

Lamar Morgan better not be doing that goofy ass shit taking your best corner out the game and over rotating next Saturday

Link is a monster... I think the offensive line is going to be okay they just have to gel

I just wanted to say ya’ll are one of the best podcasts in the game. Not just in the Michigan athletics niche but college sports broadly. Trevor you’ve got an open invitation to join my show and talk Formula 1, plus maybe some CFB anytime you want

Agree that the coaches treated this as multiple games - the first half was treated more like a scrimmage. I think that’s why you saw the weird substitution patterns. And really, that makes sense. Coaches wanted to see how the players performed in a real game during significant snaps. Gotta remember that not only are there whole new starters but the coaches are all new, whether it be coaches that weren’t here last year or coaches switching positions. Isn’t Bellamy the only constant? Just seemed clear to me that the coaches were experimenting. The second half, felt like game #2. Coaches got to see how the players performed and the rotation seemed to stabilize and thus the offense looked better. And one thing that made me really encouraged is that David Warren has a real nice connection with Loveland. That is huge. I was frustrated as much as anyone else but once you digest everything, things made more sense to me.

For 3 years ive been hear of the mis match Edwards provides in the pass game why do they never exploit that the last time i seen them do it was the Hawaii game and it worked awesome why do they not use these guys where the obvious mis match is put dono and mullings in motion dono too find a mismatch or hand it off too mullings

Peyton o leary should not be out there. The recievers should of been morgan moore morris walker and Charleston

After having a day to mull this game over I'm certain the odd rotations were just being used as an opportunity to evaluate the guys Sherrone needed confirmation about and I whole heartedly believe that Sherrone was keeping what he wanted to do against TX in the vault. I have confidence that Warren will be a good game manager going forward but I'm definitely concerned about the WR position. Two TE sets may help us out in that regard.

We have what looks like a great kicker. We are gonna need him and the D to hold us down until the offense figures things out.

Michigan didn't use their whole playbook

This is hilarious! Orji came in and did the exact samething last year, and no one said anything. Now all of a sudden he's to predictable; everyone knows that he's going to run. They didn't know that he was going to run last year? Orji is an athelete who is learning to pass, and he's better than last year. However, they are limiting his passing attempts because he's only good at short routes and throwing the deep ball.

Translatable from Week1? Kicking long field goals.

Where is Omarion Walker

Did you see Oregon,s first game same type of sloppy vanilla offensive plays???!!!

I have no idea who this guest thinks he is or where he was, but he was a painful slappy. First: we didn’t find our running game. Our line is terrible and got no push. Our backs could make anything happen on their own. We caught a few very lucky breaks in the defensive playcalling in Q4 and we were able to finally find the endzone on the ground. We looked terrible. “We’re gonna be fine there.” What dispensary did he visit prior to this discussion? If you can’t find any running room for your RB until Q4 against that poor of an opponent, you’re run game is in deep trouble. Only reason our O-line “moved some people” is the same reason big time teams beat up against cupcakes: conditioning. We couldn’t move a fly until our conditioning outpaced theirs late in the game. That won’t happen against even moderate teams. Rotating our DB’s showcased that we have a lot of depth in the secondary? He clearly wasn’t watching the same game. Our secondary was terrible anytime we rotated - heck we caught some lucky breaks even with our big dogs out there. We have no depth in the secondary. None with any real confidence. “Used our QBs effectively?” You’re hopeless. No, we didn’t use our QBs effectively. If you have 2 QBs you don’t have any QB. It disrupts timing. It disrupts rhythm. It adds complication to an offensive line who has no clue what they’re doing. Any regular rotation is stupid. Warren has no upside. If you have a QB that cannot throw the ball downfield (as he clearly can’t) you have a QB who will take you nowhere. “But he hit his receivers in stride in the intermediate passing game.” No he didn’t. He was all over the place and he left his WR out to dry on the regular. But if the best thing you can say is that he completed passes that most in the stands could, you’re not saying anything. The truth is, a QB main job is to keep the ball moving and to make the players around him better. Only 1 QB did that last night. Every time Orji was in the ball game, Michigan was able to move the ball. HE was the catalyst for thr run game. You want Michigan to continue having a great ground game, Orji needs to be your starter. Even if his throws aren’t as great, everybody can throw a 10 yard pass. And unlike Warren, Orji can launch the ball. Sherrone made the absolute wrong call with his QBs: pick the one that gives you the best chance to win - and that guy is the only offensive player last night that made things happen by himself. This was a terrible game last night.

Go Blue

Go Blue

They won 30-10 despite approaching the game like it was an exhibition or preseason game. It was like a dress rehearsal. They'll iron out some wrinkles and put up a good fight against Texas, win or lose. But the real growth will come during their next few games after Texas leading up to the Oregon game. That's where the rubber will meet the road. Regarding last night's game, I thought the game planning was Mid and Warren's decision-making less than stellar. You create openings and space for yourself later by going downfield...completing a pass or two of more than 20 yards. That opens up the run game and the short passing game. Warren never went downfield except for the one time when he said to himself, "Oh hell, I may as well go for broke." And he went broke. I was disappointed that they didn't do a LOT more play-action pass plays with Warren standing back there allowing receivers to do some work downfield. He consistently (and quickly) looked for the short outlet pass. That has to be improved substantially if they want any chance of beating the Big Boys this year. Warren has the arm and the accuracy, they say, but we didn't see it last night. The defense was good but not stout, but I attribute it more to the shuffling in and out of players throughout the game. As the season progresses and the best guys become evident, they will lock down most of the 2nd tier teams and hopefully the big boys as well. Mullings has won RB1. The Don just doesn't want to bust THROUGH the line. He looks for a gaping hole every time and this OL wasn't providing any of those last night. Mullings is the man. I still think 9-3 is the FLOOR. They just need to win ONE of the big three games (Texas, Oregon, OSU) to make the playoffs. I believe they'll do it.

I’m glad we got tested and late into the game! Builds character.

People need to understand that this was the first game Davis has started since high school as far as I'm concerned he is going to be just fine he will improve every game just watch this whole team is going to improve every game.

Sure they have a lot to work on in the offense but they came through and won the game the D played just fine and All and all a team improves the most after the first game just keep working boy's it's going to be just fine Go BLUE...

Definitely not in a good place play orji

Might take the under on this team. Terrible

That sounded like a lot to me too

Am the first one

6:42 Sorry but true radio personality just created controversy out of thin air where maybe there is none
