In this episode, Zach Shaw recaps Michigan's 20-13 win over Rutgers by fielding questions from listeners, and just how concerning a close win with an ugly finish is for the rest of the Wolverines' season.
The discussion begins at the quarterback position. Shaw discusses Cade McNamara's strong first half and brutal second half, and whether it's time to re-open the quarterback competition. He opines why J.J. McCarthy has been capable of closing the gap with McNamara in the last month, and why Michigan should consider letting there be a competition this week in practice and an increased effort to get McCarthy involved.
He then takes a look at play-calling, a lack of outside runs and hypothesizes why the Wolverines struggled to move the football in the second half of the game. In the second half of the show, Shaw takes a look at how much of the result was due to Rutgers' improvements vs. Michigan's own issues. He closes with a discussion on if the Wolverines played a better game than fans are giving them credit for.
