Opened my eyes a bit about how with our defense, our concern for quarterback isn't as high in the list as it is on other teams.

Michigan fan here. Just wanted to say it’s refreshing to hear an objective review of our team from a non-delusional quality opponent for a change. I appreciate it. 💙〽️

Michigan fan here, This video made its way onto The Fort (The private Michigan On3 Msg Board) because you guys did such a nice job with your breakdown. Nice work guys.

Most of Michigan’s secondary that locked down Ohio State, Alabama, and Washington’s receivers last year are back. They have plenty of athletes to keep up💯

So I'm confused Texas speed is different than Alabama, Buckeyes, and Washington's speed last year? Michigan shut down the crossing routes Three straight years.. Don Brown been gone

Track speed and football speed are two different athletes and is an overrated measurement. They’re basically saying if you’re from Texas, you’re automatically faster than anyone in the north, regardless that universities have athletes from all over the country. That’s like saying intelligence is only a northern trait, because the location of the Ivy League. Straight ahead speed is a nice luxury but a lower indicator in the overall football skill set (see all-time 40s at the combine). That said, these men might be the best non-pro college football analysts on YT.

Texas fans need to watch this video because too many of them on social media yapping about how bad Michigan is going to get whooped but when I objectively try to explain this stuff to them, they just call me a biased Michigan fan.

Michigan hasn't lost a home game in over three years

Michigan fan here; you guys did a fantastic breakdown of the team. Better than any other teams channels have done this off season. Can't wait to see the Burnt Orange and White in the Big House. It's just too bad we play OU in '25 and '26 and have to wait until '27 to see the Maize and Blue in Austin. @16:20 Also, I can assure you, Michigan will be throwing all sorts of stunts and delayed blitzes along the interior of the Texas OL; at least if Wink calls this defense anything like Minter did last year. Can't wait til September!

Michigan fan here. These guys offer a better grasp and analysis of the Wolverine's than the majority of UofM shows. Yall know your sH*t 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Michigan front 4 this year is the front 4 they put on the field against Alabama in O/T on the goal line and stuffed them

Calm down Texas fans. It’s totally possible this Michigan team plays lights out against us, then craps out a terrible season. This will be a tough game.

Michigan's defense will be dominant like last year. Our OL will gel and open up holes for Donovan Edwards who is elite. We have Jack Tuttle at QB who played behind Penix Jr. and McCarthy. He is going to shine this year in his last season and will be able to complete passes downfield and run. Texas doesn't have a great defense as evidenced by the playoff appearance against Washington. Michigan is going to be trouble for Texas - especially in the Big House.

You guys are solid

First show I’ve seen on YT that talks about the experience this new line actually has…them boys played most of the 4th and half the third quarter all the way to that Penn State game. Both lines got subbed in for three years now, this is undervalued. Ditto the kicker they got- they won’t blow teams out on offense and bro is going to be getting a lot of FG oops, which coupled with their time management & stingy D, all their games gonna be tight. This is going to be an exciting game, can go either way. Take the under and the points.

Nothing has changed with Harbaugh's absence. He put in his contract that Moore would be the next head coach, so he certainly saw something. In addition, Moore already beat Ohio, Penn st, and whoever else. Therefore, he's passed the stress test. Our culture is intact, the leaders are still influential, we know how to win a Natty, and urgently need another one 💛💙🏆👊

Very fair and well thought out breakdown. Looking forward to the game!

And yes a big shout out to On Texas Football, Rod Babers-CJ Vogel for a very good indepth report.Also Sherrone Moore is not the OC now calling the plays so even the offence is changed.

Colston Loveland will be a top draft pick. Not only does he play with his hand in the dirt, but he often lines up out wide with the depth they have at tight end. I believe half of his TD's last season were from plays where he lined up out wide. At any rate, he is the best in the country at what he does. Marline Klein will be his top backup and the word is that he is one of the fastest players on the team. Tyler Morris will be a breakout player at receiver this year too. He had four starts last year and Michigan wouldn't have beaten 'Bama without him outrunning the entire Crimson Tide defense for a TD in the first half. He should be in contention for All Big Ten honors. Donovan Edwards also has over 60 catches on his resume. He too is one of the best in the country at what he does. Those are the top three receivers on the Michigan offense that will often start two tight ends and fullback, but they are all dangerous. The Frederick Moore, Semaj Morgan, Amorion Walker, Peyton O'Leary, and CJ Henderson combo will provide plenty of juice off the bench. Kalel Mullings isn't a bad receiver himself.

Love you guys! Hardest working group of guys. Appreciate you and your efforts always trying to improve your craft. Hook’em

UT ought to put you two on the payroll!! Excellent break-down!!!!

Michigan fan here living in Texas . Im super excited for this game ! I think its gunna be a B1G style barn burner ( low scoring but close until the end ) . Yalls coverage of this game is great! Thanks for such an indepth view of our team from an outside viewpoint . Keep up the good work and GO Blue !!!

I’m a Michigan fan and I love you guys and your break downs of the game and teams you have gained a fan and subscriber

Really impressive analysis by these guys. I'll have to check them out later in the year to see if they are this detailed for every team UT plays. Michigan likes to have a package of a few plays for the backup QB and mix him in when the time is right. Most likely, Orji will be the starter with Warren or Denegal coming in for a few snaps during the game. This game would be even more interesting if it was played in Austin as originally scheduled.

Michigan rolled three offensive lines, people forget that.

Washington had a top 50 defense last year when Texas played them in the cf playoffs.

First of all as a Michigan fan I’m gonna come right out and say I think Texas is gonna win with a game-winning field goal at the end in a tight game fairly low scoring, but it’s good to hear another fan base podcast evaluate without hearing the name, Connor stallions or NCAA investigation The idea that Connor stallions had the secret codes to bring Michigan victory is absurd. You wanna have an argument at times it gave Michigan a competitive advantage fine but basically there’s zero evidence of that there’s evidence of him breaking the rules that’s it OSU and MSU fan bases let it go. and by the way all the people who talked about it last year at nausea? I’m gonna email Ward manual and Michigan president Santa Ono and see if he’ll send you guys a national championship ring because you deserve one. That’s what Got Michigan over the hump, and motivated them

Very good video 📹

Tuttle was 14/15 or something like that 151 yards and he can run

Excellent analysis

Watch Michigan games offensively the easy pass easy completions off the run,you seen morgan against bama we straught and if they moving the rock against mason Graham and grant than texas aint stopping the run

FYI, Mich’s spring game wasn’t 1 v 1 O & D. The likely starting OL was not on the field ever (Injuries and team rosters). Graham and Grant were on opposite teams. Decent opposing analysis but that first drive with The Don wasn’t starting OL vs starting DL. Also, Rod Moore will not play due to injury.

Texas recruiting at 16, 7 places behind Rutgers. we'll behind a&m, OU, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, etc. As as fan, I have faith Sark can move into top 10, but prefer recruiting was better early so we are not relying on a landing 2 or 3 5 stars the last week just to sneak into a top 8 class. Sark's approach is different than any other major program. I would be interested to hear what his recruiting strategy is.

Our offensive line will do the talk.

At the end of the video you finally hit on it Winks scheme isn't new for the defense and it's more or less position less. Also Michigan and Texas have kids from all over this country the speed argument is so stupid and was MAYBE relevant 20 years ago when kids would stay in state. Scheme is what matters , using your personal to thier strengths , playing to what you opponent gives you matters , strength conditioning matters , the athletes being individually motivated to practice without staff motivation matters , team cohesiveness matters. I'll take your speed ( if you actually have more of it ) and use it against you with a unit that works together.

Tuttle will start!

Not an argument but how much of it is really on the defense because other than K-State, OU and Washington no team scored over 30 much less 24 points on us. K-State was because of Malik Murphy almost giving the game away, OU I understand and Washington needs no explanation. We held more teams under double digits in one season than in 10 seasons past.

Texas speed is better than OSU, and Bama speed? It’s the same defense? We haven’t been burned by crossers in like 4 years

Michigan has and will continue to run the ball HOWEVER Michigan WILL play offense to what the defense gives them like the Penn State game where they ran 30 plus times because they had a hard time blocking the edge so they overloaded the line and pounded it right at them. If you play run heavy defense the will pass till you go zone and put in a lighter personal for the pass the over load the line and run again. The Michigan defense will be VERY elete and will have no problem putting 6,7,8 DB out there with a 3 or 4 man defense front. The defense is extremely flexible and will play to what you give them. You have a pass heavy personal group ( on offense and defense) you gonna struggle and IF the Michigan offense can figure out how to score your in big trouble. You guys have a GREAT TEAM and it should be a GREAT game it's alot of guys week 2 must see game. So early in the season ANN ARBOR will be rocking with great weather .

I understand yall talking about speed, the same was said when they played Bama they were to fast the speed is different and it never mattered because Michigan defense can play fast, Isiah bond was locked down by Will Johnson and Josh Wallace, Not worried about your Wr1 on our CB1 and we do play man but with safeties helping it’s rarely a true man on man, Texas has never seen a defense like Michigan the best defense they played was Alabama at the start of the year? It will be a good game but Texas speed won’t matter I promise
