The pursuit of 2025 Belleville (Mich.) five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood has more twists and turns than the average soap opera. Building upon our Friday show, we discuss what was supposed to happen for Michigan football over the weekend in its attempt to pry Underwood off his LSU commitment and what actually happened. We share (what we can) about where the Wolverines stand now and where it may go from here in Underwood's recruitment. Then, what happens if the maize and blue end up getting the white whale on the line? We discuss it all right here.

Michigan Wolverines Stumble Against Indiana: Offensive Woes and Coaching Speculation

The Michigan Wolverines football team faced a surprising setback -- not because of the loss but how they lost -- losing to Indiana 20-15. The offense struggled significantly, gaining only 206 total yards, sparking calls for coaching changes. Meanwhile, Connor Stalions, the legend and 'sign stealer' himself, is making waves as it was publicly revealed he's the offensive coordinator at Belleville High School, potentially influencing Michigan's recruitment of quarterback Bryce Underwood.

In basketball, the Wolverines narrowly lost to Wake Forest after an early lead, highlighting areas for improvement like rebounding and turnovers. Speculation surrounds potential coaching shifts, with Sherrone Moore possibly taking over playcalling duties.

Explore the challenges and potential changes facing the Michigan Wolverines. Listen now for in-depth analysis and insights into the team's evolving strategies and future prospects.

Michigan football recruiting is heating back up with the big visit weekend for the Oregon game yielding some positive results. We discuss players who look likely to end up in the class, and some who the Wolverines are hot after, such as four-star linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng. And, of course, we give another update on five-star Bryce Underwood, who the maize and blue are working the flip from LSU.

Then, we've gotta talk about the Michigan basketball season debut. It was the most exciting-looking team we've seen since either Juwan Howard's second year or even the John Beilein era. We now can see Dusty May's plan coming to fruition, even in Game 1, and share our thoughts on the 101-53 romp over Cleveland State.

Then, some thoughts on how the Wolverines can beat Indiana, which we think may be the toughest game left on the schedule.

Can the Michigan Wolverines overcome their offensive struggles and defensive concerns? Despite a 38-17 loss to Oregon, the Wolverines showed unexpected competitiveness, even with injuries to key defensive players. The spotlight is on Davis Warren, who brought some improvement to the offense, yet criticism mounts against offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell for his playcalling and lack of identity. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale faces scrutiny over fundamental issues like tackling, raising questions about his focus on scheme over technique.

Recruiting is another hot topic, with the impact of fan negativity potentially deterring top prospects. The episode highlights key recruiting visits, including 4-star Derek Meadows, and the significance of landing quarterback Bryce Underwood.

Will the Wolverines' recruiting efforts pay off, and can they address their on-field challenges? Tune in for an engaging discussion on Michigan's path forward.

The Michigan Wolverines are at the center of a heated post-game controversy with Michigan State, as accusations of player stomping swirl and with Kalel Mullings caught in the Spartans' crosshairs. The Big Ten has made its ruling, and we lambasted the MSU media for amplifying what should have been treated as a normal in-game skirmish.

Meanwhile, the Wolverines' recruitment efforts for 5-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, including a rumored $5 million offer, are making waves. We delve deeper into what we know of the situation as well as how this affects current and future recruiting and whether or not it's Michigan or LSU that has the true momentum.

With Jack Tuttle's medical retirement due to injuries, Michigan's quarterback depth faces challenges, prompting speculation on freshman Jaydn Davis's potential role. Tune in for an engaging discussion on the team's evolving dynamics and recruitment battles.

The Michigan Wolverines face off against the Michigan State Spartans in a highly anticipated matchup, with both teams showing strong statistical performances. However, the Wolverines' turnover issues have been a significant hurdle, despite their impressive practice sessions. Will the Wolverines' passing offense shine, or will turnovers continue to plague their game?

Key discussions include the quarterback dilemma between Davis Warren and Alex Orji, and the potential impact of 5-star recruit Bryce Underwood, who might flip his commitment from LSU to Michigan. The coaching staff is reportedly making a strong push to secure Underwood, adding another layer of intrigue to the Wolverines' strategy.

Tune in to explore these pivotal topics and discover whether the Wolverines can capitalize on their strengths and address their weaknesses.

The Michigan Wolverines' offense is under fire, described as the worst in the Big Ten since the Chris Ash era at Rutgers. With a scheme likened to a "high school" level, questions arise about its ability to maximize personnel and challenge defenses. Criticism mounts against the coaching staff for inadequate player development, particularly at the quarterback position, where Alex Orji's management is scrutinized alongside options like Jack Tuttle and Davis Warren. The episode also explores Michigan's donor culture and its impact on roster building in the evolving college sports landscape. As whispers of program instability grow, the future of head coach Sherrone Moore hangs in the balance.

We're bringing on Michigan Podcast's Steve Deace to discuss the state of the team in this new era of college football, reigned by name, image, and likeness and he shares why things are potentially more dire than in any other year when the Wolverines have perhaps struggled. Also, where we believe the team should go in terms of strategy for the rest of the year.

Will the Wolverines find a way to overcome these challenges? Tune in for an engaging discussion on Michigan's path forward.

We're back solo (despite still being voiceless) and are going deeper into the issues currently plaguing Michigan football coming off of the 21-7 loss to Illinois. Expounding more on what has been, what should be, and where the team goes from here -- both in the short and long term.

But Michigan football also got a huge commitment on Monday in five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola. What that means for the team on the recruiting trail, for the future of the offensive line, and the class. And we also discuss the Bryce Underwood rumors, what we've heard, and how important it is for the maize and blue to find a way to close that deal.

Michigan football lost and looked lost as it went on the road in Week 7 to face an upstart Illinois team hellbent on beating the Wolverines. And speaking of lost, Isaiah still doesn't have a voice so TheWolverine.com's Clayton Sayfie joins the show to help him discuss what went wrong for the maize and blue on Saturday. 

Breaking down the offensive issues, a few things we actually liked, what didn't make sense, where we each think Michigan should go from here, and a short preview of Michigan's upcoming rivalry game hosting Michigan State this upcoming Saturday.

This Illinois game on Saturday is huge for Michigan football, something we didn't expect to say a few short weeks ago. But how can the Wolverines attack the Illini? We go through what Illinois does well and what it doesn't do quite as well, scouring the stats and looking at the numbers on offense and defense and where Michigan may have some advantages.

Then, we get into the one place where the maize and blue really need to thrive, and based on one quote from the press conference on Wednesday, it does appear the staff is aware that it has this in their arsenal.

Now that Michigan football is poised to start Jack Tuttle on Saturday at Illinois, given that he's got some experience to pull from, we're going to dig more into who he is. We start with who Tuttle was as a recruit, who he had offers from, and where he ranked compared to some of the other top quarterbacks all the way back in 2018. Then we go to his time at Indiana and look at the stats in each game to see how he was utilized and what he was able to do when called upon. Finally, we go to the advanced stats and look at how he graded out, where he throws best in terms of position on the field, and more.

It's been a less-than-thrilling first half of the 2024 season with Michigan football having started out 4-2 and the second half looks to be much more daunting than the first. However, we're not giving up hope, we're coming up with solutions.

If the Wolverines can find a way to do these six things, then the season won't be lost. In fact, it could end up being a rousing success (though, we're not betting on that at this juncture). We break down what Michigan needs to do to fix its problems and then look at Ohio State's loss to Oregon as the Wolverines play both teams in the coming weeks.

Michigan football went out on the road and showcased all of its worst attributes we've seen thus far from the Wolverines this year. Yet another quarterback change after Alex Orji didn't have command of the offense. Then Jack Tuttle turned the ball over twice, leading to the 10 points that the maize and blue lost by. The defense got shredded with impunity by the Washington pass game. There were very few good takeaways from Michigan's second loss of the season. 

And that leads us to the obvious: this team has no identity and it shows.

We're on the road but that won't stop us from joining forces with Trente Jones to discuss the state of the Michigan Wolverines on the eve of the first road game at Washington!

Trente shares what he's seen from the Michigan offense, what he wants to see from Alex Orji this week, why Orji is the right quarterback for the maize and blue in this time, what he's seen from the defense and what they need to do to improve, and then we give our final score predictions.

We're moving on from defending the current regime for the new-look offense and now accepting it as it is and discussing what this Michigan football offense can look like with Alex Orji at the helm, based on what we've seen and what we've heard. We discuss some poignant quotes from Colston Loveland, Kendrick Bell, and Kirk Campbell to unpack what's possible and what is probable with some modicum of improvement.

Then, we delve into the numbers for Washington. Where they rank statistically (as well as where Michigan's previous opponents rank), how they've graded out on PFF through five weeks, and where they rank according to ESPN SP+.

Finally, we give the blueprint to success for the Wolverines on Saturday and what we think we'll see in the first road game of the season.

We understand, Michigan football fans -- the Wolverines don't look as good as anticipated thus far in 2024, coming off of a national championship. But some of these narratives that have run rampant across the social media landscape are completely divorced from reality. 

Has Michigan looked good? No, not necessarily. But it's 4-1 and if you know what you're looking at, you can see the progress. We go through some of our YouTube comments to express ones that are more in line with reality and those which are more angrily reacting and share what's really going on. Then, we get into what a realistic season looks like, for better or worse.

Michigan football beat Minnesota in a very similar fashion to how it beat USC, with a final score of 27-24, falling apart in the second half, and letting the other team get within a whisper of leaving The Big House with a victory. And many Michigan fans are very unhappy with the win, but we see a lot of bright spots -- and we're not just looking on the sunny side of the street. 

The offense needs some time to put things together, and it's really close. Will it get there? We can't say for sure, but we've seen a lot of signs, both in the execution and the playcalling. The defensive lapses in the second half notwithstanding, there are some positives to take away, but fans should adjust their expectations and take each week as it comes.

The Alex Orji experience will continue into Week 5 with his second start, as Michigan football prepares to host a 2-2 Minnesota Golden Gopher team for the Little Brown Jug. The Gophers don't have a lot to offer, but we look at what they've done statistically through four games against four either meh or not-so-good teams. We share how the Wolverines should attack, how they might attack, and then give our final score prediction.

The O.G. strikes back as the media met with Michigan football defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. Whether it was the pressure rates for the defense, the state of the offense and the passing game, Martindale didn't hold back in his media availability. We hear from him and some of what he had to say and react to his assertions and where we believe the identity of this team is heading.

Then, USC fans have been obnoxious since losing to the Wolverines. We have to strike back on our own given their constant online whining.

Despite Michigan football having unexpectedly beaten the former No. 11 team in the country, USC, there are many maize and blue faithful who are already losing faith, because new starting quarterback Alex Orji only passed for 32 yards on Saturday. Yet, that was by design! We explain why those who are inexplicably clamoring for Davis Warren to be reinstalled as the starter are wrong on the internet, and share more of what the coaches expect to do with Orji moving forward.

Then, we give our own advice, hoping that the coaches did like they did last week when they implemented most of what we said on this show that we wanted to see. What needs to happen offensively, defensively, and what will help Orji -- who will be the starter in perpetuity per the coaches -- succeed both on the ground but also in the passing game.

No one thought they could do it (except our friend Josh Pate...and Lee Corso). WE didn't think they could do it. But Michigan football welcomed the Trojans to the Big Ten, beating USC, 27-24, with just 32 passing yards but 290 rushing yards.

But why? It's because Sherrone Moore & Co. basically did everything we advocated for (save for some personnel choices) and deployed them strategically against USC. We get into how that looked, why it worked, where you go from here if you're Michigan football and why any fans complaining after this need to take a lap!

He's baaack! Former Michigan football right tackle Trente Jones rejoins the show to discuss what this new-look Wolverines offense should look like with Alex Orji at the helm. He shares his insight as someone who has practiced with Orji and how the offense may change as well as what Orji is capable of. Jones also discusses the offensive line and what he would do at center and right tackle as well as what Andrew Gentry brings to the table as the sixth lineman. 

Then, we share what we want to see from the Wolverines as they host USC and give our final score predictions for Michigan's big game against the Trojans.

Alex Orji has often drawn comparisons to that of Jalen Milroe from Alabama. So, with that in mind, how do the Crimson Tide deploy Milroe in terms of running and passing? What do his stats look like? We use much of how Milroe was deployed to figure out a good strategy and blueprint for Michigan football vs. USC and moving forward.

Then, we delve into advanced analytics, from PFF's grading to ESPN's SP+ predictive model to look at how different metrics (offense, defense, and special teams) compare between Michigan, USC, and even looking back to Texas and where it stands for comparison.

Sherrone Moore made the switch from Davis Warren to Alex Orji at starting quarterback on Monday and despite potential limitations in Orji's accuracy throwing the ball, we think (even if he is stellar throwing the ball) that the Wolverines need to take a page out of the 2021-23 strategy: RUN THE DANG FOOTBALL WITH IMPUNITY!

We get into USC's defense and what its limitations might be alongside with how LSU and Utah State played the Trojans. And we delve back into the 2021 season and looked at the ratio of running and passing and why having a running quarterback at the helm may be a Godsend -- if the staff is smart about it.

We were going to spend much of Monday's episode discussing what needs to happen while lamenting the unlikelihood of the staff making the necessary changes but Sherrone Moore bucked the trend by announcing on Monday afternoon that Alex Orji has been named the starting quarterback for Michigan football against USC.

We delve into what that means for the offense, other changes we would make contra what we've seen in the first three weeks, and more. We also touch on the defensive performance against Arkansas State and why it was mostly good but does still give us concerns with the Trojans coming to town this week.

Michigan football has what shouldn't be a big game in Week 3 against Arkansas State, but given how the Wolverines have looked each of the past two games, we need to see a lot of improvement and fast. What the betting odds on FanDuel suggests, what needs to happen in this one in terms of players who need to step up, coaching, schematic changes, and more. Then our final game prediction.

Before we even get to all of that, we eulogize a great man, Greg Harden, who passed away on Friday.

On Wednesday, new Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore finally signed his executed contract but was that really a big deal considering he signed a memorandum of understanding back in the winter? No, but because it's Michigan, it became a big deal, because the narratives are all that matters, and the narratives must always paint the Wolverines as villainous, inept, or both. We get into that as well as rival media claiming things that almost certainly aren't true, and we explain why we don't believe a second of it.

Then, we move onto the offense and what we need to see start happening in these upcoming weeks. Why Donovan Edwards in the pass game is a must, among other things.

And what should we expect from the Michigan defense against Arkansas State? Why, regardless of the playmakers the Red Wolves have, it should be a much more solid performance in Week 3.

The eye test says Michigan football desperately needs more quarterback production and that's somewhat true statistically, but when it comes to execution, perhaps we're being much too hard on first-year starter Davis Warren.

We take a look at Warren's PFF grades through Week 2 and compare those to the other 17 starting quarterbacks in the Big Ten. And it turns out, things are not quite as bad as they feel after the pummeling by Texas. Where he's OK, where he needs to improve, and more using advanced analytics.

Then, we turn the page back to Arkansas State and what its defense has done thus far. Here's what we need to see from Warren and the Michigan offense to feel comfortable heading into the Week 4 showdown with USC.

We're still troubled by what we saw on the field against Texas, made all the worse by what we saw in Week 1 against Fresno State. Thus, the Week 3 game against Arkansas State is the most crucial game of the season because it's the inflection point that will tell us if the Wolverines are capable of winning big games down the stretch.

We get into that, why we're troubled by some PR things and the fact that we've heard little from leadership. Will hubris sink this edition of the Michigan Wolverines? We start to look more closely at the Red Wolves and what we must see this week if Michigan is going to turn its season around.

During just about any preview of Michigan football vs. Texas, our show included, we all stated that the Wolverine defense would be elite, it was more of a question about the offense. But what happens when the defense fails spectacularly? Or when the coaches put the players in bad situations or fail to adjust? Also, is this just a one-off or is this a sign of what is to come in 2024? Is Michigan merely losing an early season game to a particularly elite team or will it become post-2019 LSU?

We get into the state of all of it, why we're more concerned than we were after the 2019 Wisconsin or 2021 Georgia game, and where the Wolverines should go from here.

We continue our series RUNNING POWER where former Michigan football offensive tackle Trente Jones joins us to discuss what he's seen from his former team while looking forward to the next game.

Trente is much less concerned than the average fan and makes some good points about where the Wolverines are after a less-than-dominant win over Fresno State. He also shares his keys for Saturday when the Wolverines host Texas in the biggest nonconference game in 30 years at Michigan Stadium.

Was Michigan football's Week 1 performance against Fresno State just OK, was it bad, or was it better than you might have thought? To break it all down, we're bringing in PFF Senior Data Collection Analyst and Michigan alum Josh Liskiewitz to share what actually went right, what went wrong, and what can be cleaned up with a big Week 2 on the horizon.

Then, we turn the page to Texas and Josh shares what he's seen from the Longhorns and what the Wolverines need to do in order to leave The Big House with a huge, program-defining win in the 2024 season.

There were mixed reviews coming out of Michigan football's Week 1 win over Fresno State. Even Sherrone Moore said there were a lot of little mistakes that are correctable. So what did we see? We go back and discuss the game plan, the scheme, the mistakes, the successes, the defense (which was mostly phenomenal) and what it all means with Texas coming to town in Week 2.

We are but hours away from Michigan football opening up the 2024 season against Fresno State and now that we're getting wind of some position battles being won, it's time to evaluate what this team might be this year.

And to do that, we welcome on new series regular and recently former Michigan football right tackle Trente Jones to help us break everything down!

From the quarterbacks and what he knows of the contenders, to the offensive line being revamped, to the wide receivers and the defense, Trente has tons of great knowledge that he shares on his first episode.

We're wading through the end of fall camp hype and marking a few players who might be unknown to the average Michigan fan (if you're watching or listening to this, that's not you) who will be household names by the season's end. Regardless of your level of fandom, however, these three players are being ultra-hyped right now and we need to take notice. Whether it's linebacker Jaishawn Barham or a couple of guys on the offensive line, things are looking bright at those positions with the season days away.

Then, we hear a bit from Fresno State players and what they had to say about the Michigan football defense days before the season opener.

About two days after we started talking to Connor Stalions, and about five days after he was identified as an NCAA person of interest, it became apparent (to us) that this was a political hit job -- not just on him but on Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan. So we went to someone who has a ton of political experience -- Steve Deace, host of Michigan Podcast and The Steve Deace Show on BlazeTV. 

We welcome Steve onto the show to recall his first interactions with Connor Stalions, how he figured out he was being truthful throughout the whole ordeal, the night a bombshell was dropped on the Washington Post and that we discovered there was something much more nefarious at play, and more. You're going to want to hear more of these details as to how things played out.

Netflix's Connor Stalions documentary, 'Sign Stealer,' was released on Tuesday and not only were we in it (both as a person and a podcast) but we divulged that we've been talking to Stalions the whole time. 

We recap the story of how we connected with Stalions back in 2019 and how everything unfolded from October 2023 forward, going back and recapping some past episodes where we shared some intel on the whole scandal. Then we get into spoilers from the documentary, our biggest takeaways and questions that arise from it, and things you might not have known or understood before now as it pertains to the NCAA investigation.

It's finally game week and Michigan football will look to defend its 2023 national championship! With Fresno State officially on the clock, we break down some of what Sherrone Moore said at his Monday press conference about position battles, depth and the team's readiness, and more.

Then, we prime you for the release of 'Sign Stealer' on Netflix on Tuesday and a little of what you can expect (as much as we can tell you) before doing our full reaction show (set to release early Tuesday). But a funny thing happened as we counted down the days until the release of the documentary: the NCAA officially issued its notice of allegations! We delve into the timing and counter some rival narratives.

Michigan football named four senior captains and two alternates on Thursday in advance of the 2024 season. While many may tune out the captaincy, why it matters, especially for these Wolverines and for the team success -- as evidenced by the past few years. We delve also into more of what the four said on Thursday after being announced.

Then, national perceptions appear to be changing for Michigan with Greg McElroy reversing course on what he said earlier this month and now starting to seemingly believe that the Wolverines could be in the hunt to repeat as national champions.

Finally, we got into hot water by some for revealing our source to much of our inside intel dating back to last year October. Why it was the right move.

Despite some late drama, Michigan football managed to still secure 2025 Fulshear (Tx.) Katy Jordan four-star wide receiver Andrew Marsh -- the highest-rated wide receiver commit since the 2017 class. What Marsh brings to the table and why this is a huge pickup for the Wolverines.

Then, we get into how ESPN has Michigan playing in a lower-tier bowl game but also has it with four first-round NFL draft picks this next year. Why that doesn't make sense either logically or historically.

Finally, we make a special announcement regarding the upcoming documentary 'Sign Stealer' on Netflix.

247Sports analyst Clint Brewster said on X (formerly Twitter) that if the Wolverines get production from this one position then they are his pick to win the national championship for a second year in a row. We discuss that in a wayward fashion by first going through the entire depth chart with our presumed starters and backups and then circling back to see if what he said isn't only possible, but is it plausible? 

A thorough breakdown of where the team stands today and what it may be capable of if certain players come to play in 2024.

While we don't want to be mere stenographers for Michigan football and what it says in fall camp, we can glean a lot from what the coaches and players do (and don't) say. 

On Sunday, defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan met with the media and may have upended some expectations at corner and safety based on what he said about the leaders at both positions. But that led to an interesting note from him about the defense being 'positionless.' We use that to look back at the evolution of the Michigan defense since Mike Macdonald took over, what having a 'positionless defense' means, how it may be deployed, and in the most basic terms, how that could be a huge boon for the Wolverines.

Then, we take a look at what Reese's Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy said about the defensive front on Monday morning and point out why what he's saying would spell incredible things for the D this season -- perhaps even more so than last year.

While we await some outsider perspectives, such as Big Ten Network making its fall camp stop in Ann Arbor, to get a better understanding of how good Michigan football might be in 2024, we kind of already have one. 

On Thursday, the media met with transfer safety Wesley Walker, who started the past two seasons at Tennessee after starting at Georgia Tech, and his analysis of what's different at Michigan tells us a lot. From how practice runs to how Sherrone Moore operates to the system Wink Martindale deploys to the culture of the team, there's a lot to glean considering where Walker once was.

Then, we get into the five players that ESPN listed in its top 100 for the Wolverines and why this is another reason there shouldn't be much of a dropoff if things go right. Finally, we discuss some of Amorion Walker's comments, his personal growth, and how it should affect the wide receiver and his position group.

Joel Klatt had a segment on his show on Wednesday explaining why Michigan football may be the biggest threat to Oregon and Ohio State. We react to his comments but go a step further: does Michigan have what it takes to really be the next potential dynasty? It might not be as out of pocket as it sounds on its face.

Also, which position group do we have the most confidence in and which one do we have the least? We get into why this may actually be a good development if what we perceive as the weakest holds true come the season.

Sherrone Moore had his fall camp press conference on Tuesday and there were three things we thought were among the biggest to take away in terms of how it will affect Michigan football this season.

We get into his comments about why it appears that the Wolverines are good from what he can tell in fall camp, two players who have made the most improvement (and why it matters that they're veterans) and then delve into what he said about the freshman standouts and why there's now only a few (namely one) we see being big impact players in their first year.

Though many think the Michigan football defense will be very good and an overall top group, those in the national media and college football landscape seem to think there are a lot of others around the country and in the Big Ten that will be better. Well, the more we think about it, we don't think so.

From the elite front line, to an elite middle, to an extremely deep secondary (that is also probably elite), the Wolverines have playmakers at all three levels, and they have some attributes that only a few teams (like Georgia) have. 

We get into all of that on this episode of Locked On Wolverines!

The theme at some of the most recent Michigan football press conferences has surrounded the offense and why perhaps those who think that the Wolverines will fall off a cliff in that area are greatly misinformed. 

After Monday morning's press conference, it sounds as if the offense continues to get the better of the defense at times all while the defense has the look of the No. 1 unit in the country (as it was last year). Between the offense as a whole and the quarterback battle, there's a lot to potentially like about that side of the ball, according to current Michigan players.

We hear from defensive tackle Kenneth Grant about the offense and the repercussions it has on his defense as well as how Semaj Morgan is rounding into becoming a more well-rounded receiver and why blocking has become one of his big focuses in the offseason.

Michigan edge rusher TJ Guy met with the media earlier on Friday and shared his thoughts about his new defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. In doing so, he feels like there's a strong chance the Wolverines are even better defensively than last year when it was the No. 1 total and scoring defense en route to a national championship. We parse what he says and look into if that can truly be the case.

Then, we delve deeper into the experience on the defensive side of the ball, going further into the snap counts we started looking at on Thursday's episode. If experience plays the biggest factors in playing good football, then Michigan's defense has a lot more than people are recognizing.

All that said, this could just be Michigan football propaganda coming out of fall camp -- which happens every year. Why we believe this isn't the case for either the offense or defense compared to other years where we were promised the sky only to get a ceiling.

After hearing from a lot of offensive players and coaches the past few days, we're becoming more and more optimistic about that side of the ball (or just falling for annual fall camp hype). But, what will it actually take to win big for a fourth-straight year, this time in 2024?

We single out the five big games and discuss the style of play that Michigan must have in each in order to win. Outside of those games, the Wolverines should be able to play within themselves a bit more but those five games all have something in particular it must do (offensively or defensively) in order to escape with a win.

We've talked about offense but now we turn back to the defense, expected to be the stronger side of the ball. Why are pundits discounting the Wolverines this year? As we go through snap counts of last year's backups (now expected starters) along with the transfers, there's a ton of returning experience.

Here you go, rival fans, the moment you've been waiting for! The hammer has officially come down on Jim Harbaugh! Now, he's not the head coach of Michigan football and is in the NFL now and the NCAA agreed to lesser punishments for the current assistants involved, but nonetheless. 

We get into more of the NCAA absurdity to open the show before finally talking some actual football. At fall camp, the offense bested the defense in the first padded practice. Why that's more welcome news than you could think given how good the defense should be. Then, we get into the transfer wide receivers and how they're doing as well as why the safety depth is making the whole of the defensive back unit better.

One of the arguments against Michigan football since the Connor Stalions saga began -- and has ramped up as of late -- has been the mere 'asking questions' crowd chiming in with 'Jim Harbaugh was 69-24 in his first six years and 40-3 his last three years' after Connor Stalions was officially hired. 'What changed?' they ask, as if Stalions is the reason why Michigan has been winning the past three years.

Well, we'll tell you what changed. An awful lot.

From the culture in the locker room with players holding themselves and others accountable, to a brooming of the old coaching staff for new faces (including Michigan alums who came back to coach) -- six of whom are now coaches in the NFL -- to a big increase in both production from high-end recruiting talent to the development of the lower ends of the classes, Michigan looks completely different now than it did four or five years ago. We go into great detail to combat these lazy, ignorant, and disingenuous narratives.

The Athletic dropped its annual 'freaks' list on Tuesday (we seemed to believe today was Wednesday in the open and close) and four Michigan football players made the list -- the most of any school. Why these particular players were important and why it's a signal that the maize and blue could be in better shape than many think in 2024.

Then, we get to the defense of Michigan by Jim Harbaugh and selected media on the Connor Stalions stuff. Why the pushback against the outside 'freaks' is important given that the narrative has been fully set by the NCAA, outside of shows like this one.

Rival fans have long adopted a mantra of 'the hammer is coming down' as it pertains to Michigan football and the Connor Stalions saga. Yet, after he dropped yet another leak, ESPN reporter Pete Thamel pushed back on his own reporting in a way, stating that he didn't believe much punishment was due to the Wolverines as a result of this NCAA investigation.

We get into that, before further parsing into the Sunday report and the NOA draft leaked by the NCAA. There are a few details we've gotten more word on and are able to clear up a bit.

Then we change course into Michigan's coaches poll ranking and a wide receiver who decommitted from the 2025 class on Sunday evening.

ESPN revealed much of the content of the NCAA draft notice of allegations on Michigan football on Sunday. There are some new elements to get into, such as Sherrone Moore being implicated as the coach who deleted text messages -- though he ended up producing them for the NCAA, yet the NCAA seems intent to punish anyway. We delve into the Level I charges against Jim Harbaugh and Connor Stalions (that they 'failed to cooperate') and what that means (which is even baked into the story itself!) as well as the revelation that the NCAA feels that it has proven that Stalions was on the CMU sideline in Week 1.

After going through and reacting along with you, we give our final thoughts about why these charges (particularly the 'lack of cooperation' charges) would be an absurd overreach even if it was the United States government, let alone the NCAA.

Michigan football may be a few days into fall camp, but we have a pretty good idea of who the contenders are, who the pretenders are, and who the starters will be along with the rotation.

We're going through every single position group, discussing who is in the mix, who are the obvious starters, who are the not-so-obvious starters, and more. From the quarterbacks to the longsnappers, we're touching it all on this episode of Locked On Wolverines!

Coinciding with the start of fall camp, we got the all-new fall roster for Michigan football and we were able to glean a lot! From big weight changes -- including players gaining big weight or losing a ton -- to the freshman numbers, we cover everything we could get our hands on.

Then, why does it matter? We get into the nitty-gritty of why we can glean positive information and why no real changes with the upperclassmen shows you just how consistent things are inside of the program.

Maize & Blue Review's Josh Henschke published his own findings after digging into Michigan football's current battle with the NCAA, and it sounds exactly like what we reported in early June, with just a few more details. We delve into that, add some more color when it comes to the charge of not cooperating with the NCAA, and also get into the Yahoo Sports podcast that also sheds some light on where the rift stands between the Wolverines and the governing body.

Then, we get into the most important thing that Donovan Edwards said at Big Ten media days and why it showcases his maturation as a player and a man even from this time last year.

How do we know the season is almost here? Well, because we met with Michigan football offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale to hear their thoughts just one day before the Wolverines kick off fall camp.

We hear from Martindale and why he blasts the misconception that he's too aggressive with man coverage and blitzing and then we get into the interesting parts (Donovan Edwards deployment and the wide receiving corps) from Campbell's 20 minutes at the podium.

According to The Wolverine's Chris Balas, the NCAA is finally ready to present a notice of allegations to Michigan football, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. We get into what Balas reports, how that jibes with what we've heard from our sources over the past few months, and why we don't believe there is a decided punishment if everything holds true, as of this moment.

Also, we share what CBS analyst Gary Danielson said about Michigan football in 2024 and assess how true his evaluation is and what the Wolverines need to do in order to win a fourth-straight Big Ten championship.

It’s day three in Indianapolis for Big Ten media days, and though Michigan is set to hit the podium on Thursday, we're taking a quick detour to have on a few special guests!

First, On3 Vice President and recruiting guru Steve Wiltfong joins the show to discuss the state of Michigan football recruiting. He delves into players he likes that are already committed, prospects that the Wolverines should be on the watch for, and discusses some specific recruitments, like Andrew Babalola, Andrew Marsh, Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng, DJ Sanders, and Jayden Sanders.

Then, the prodigal son returns as Jake Butt comes back onto the show and talks about covering his third media days for Big Ten Network, his expectations for Michigan in 2024, and Sherrone Moore.
