Michigan football looked every bit the team it has been in the first half on Saturday, but the second half was some of the worst offensive football we've seen under Jim Harbaugh. So is that something to be concerned about or is it one game inside of a vacuum? Luke Ghiardi, Stephen Osentoski and Anthony Broome are back this week to discuss what happened and how to make sense of it. Also, weighing i...

The Michigan Wolverines moved to 4-0 on the season on Saturday with a 20-13 win over Rutgers, but it wasn't supposed to be that comfortable and certainly didn't feel like it would happen after the first half of football. The Wolverines did not fold in the last two quarters of play and were able to do enough to secure a win, but it has fans on the edge heading into a showdown with Wisconsin next we...

Rutgers at Michigan. 3-0 vs. 3-0. You don’t see that every year in this series. Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano said” Michigan is back to being Michigan” and he realizes this is a ‘prove it’ game for Rutgers to show they’re trending in the right direction in Big Ten play. To get further insight into the Scarlet Knights we spoke with SB Nation’s On the Banks’ Aaron Breitman. You can find the conver...

The Michigan Wolverines moved to 3-0 on the 2021 football season with arguably their most impressive victory yet, a 63-10 win over the Northern Illinois Huskies. This team has rounded into form and has proven through the first quadrant of the season that it has much higher expectations than the ones other people set for them in the leadup to the season.

Michigan Football is now ranked at No. 25 in the nation after convincing wins to start the season over Western Michigan and Washington. Their Week 3 opponent, Northern Illinois, beat Georgia Tech in an upset Week 1, and lost by a touchdown in a high-scoring affair to Wyoming a week ago. Northern Illinois has a familiar face at quarterback, Rocky Lombardi, who beat Michigan a season ago as Michigan...

The Maize Out provided an electric atmosphere at the Big House last weekend, helping the Michigan Wolverines blowout the Washington Huskies by a score of 31-10. The rush attack generated most of the offense on the night, while the defense locked in and shut down any possible threat posed by Washington’s offense. Beating a team like Washington in front of that sort of crowd can go a long way in the...

The Michigan Wolverines are off to a 2-0 start and are rushing the ball like maniacs, but is that going to be sustainable? We don't apologize for wins around these parts, but concerns about the lack of development of the passing game and opportunity for more quarterback reps might be warranted. Maize n Brew discusses this and more in this week's Monday night podcast. We'll chat about what went dow...

The Michigan Wolverines moved to 2-0 on the 2021 season with a 31-10 drubbing of the Washington Huskies on Saturday night in Ann Arbor. The Washington Huskies came to town desperate after a loss to FCS Montana in Week 1, but the Michigan rushing attack and defense made sure they sent them back to Seattle with their tail between their legs. Anthony Broome runs through the victory and the things mos...

Michigan got off to a good start in Week 1 with a 47-14 win over Western Michigan. However, UM’s Week 2 opponent fell flat to open their year. The Washington Huskies were upset by Montana 13-7. The Huskies were ranked No. 20 heading into Week 1, but offensive line issues plagued them in their loss to the Grizzlies. Washington’s defense held their own until the final minutes, but there are a lot of...
