Episode 57: Kirk Ferentz’s Herbert Hoover Cosplay

Ace, Connor and Taylor review Michigan’s 51-7 win over Colorado State. There were a lot of reasons be to be encouraged on only a couple minor missteps in an easy win over, admittedly, a bad team. 
Topics:

The cold open worked this time!

Connor passes up the tempting OSU-related big mood for a good Michigan vibes big mood.

The QB battle now includes possible Instagram drama. Also, like everyone else, we were more impressed with J.J. McCarthy and it’s okay for this to be playing out this way.

OSU/ND was… underwhelming. We’re cool with that.

The offense didn’t need to show much or use the receivers. The running backs and O-line were good. This was a very TE-centric game plan.

RGIII got horny on main.

Maybe we see a deep ball before Maryland, maybe we don’t.

Sure, caveats apply to the defense, but we could hardly have asked for more out of the post-Hutchinson/Ojabo pass rush.

Jesse Minter’s passing down blitz packages were downright mean.

The only real hiccup was Will Johnson giving up a deep ball and he almost recovered to make the play anyway. We’re not worried unless it happens repeatedly.

Competing Brad Robbins mustache jokes.

Taylor tries to make Bowl Team Colorado State a thing. We’re skeptical.

Big Ten programs as bad Disney World rides.

We're so sorry, Dan.
