All Things Wolverines

Brandon and Cousin Kyle break down Michigan’s heartbreaking loss to Iowa—a game that slipped away despite plenty of encouraging signs from the Wolverines.

We dive into the continued promise of Bryce Underwood, a strong showing from the Michigan defense, and the strange breaks that seemed to keep falling Iowa’s way. We also discuss the huge special teams play that shifted the game and the costly Michigan penalty that gave Iowa another opportunity at the end zone late.

Was this simply a frustrating loss, or did Michigan show signs of taking a meaningful step forward?

Plus, we hand out our ATW Awards of the Week, share our Michigan Pessimism of the Week, and turn the page to preview the next chapter of a historic Big Ten rivalry as Michigan prepares to battle Minnesota for the Little Brown Jug.

Bryce Takes a Step Forward | Michigan Shakes Off Slow Start & Rolls UTEP

Michigan didn’t exactly come flying out of the gates against the UTEP Miners, but after a sluggish start, the Wolverines settled in and turned the game into an emphatic win.

More importantly, Bryce Underwood took another step forward.

Brandon and Cousin Kyle break down Michigan’s performance against UTEP, the early frustrations, what changed as the game progressed, and the encouraging signs from Underwood and the Wolverines offense.

What did we learn from Bryce’s performance? How much should we care about Michigan’s slow start? And are we beginning to see this offense develop an identity as the Wolverines prepare for bigger challenges ahead?

Plus, we give our biggest takeaways from the win, embrace our weekly dose of Michigan pessimism, and hand out the ATW Awards of the Week for the players, performances, and moments that stood out.

Michigan started slow. Bryce took a step forward. And the Wolverines ultimately handled business in emphatic fashion.

Brandon and Cousin Kyle are back to break down a much-needed response from Michigan football.

After plenty of concerns about the Wolverines offense, Jason Beck and Michigan showed significant improvement. What changed in just one week? Are we starting to see an offensive identity emerge, and is Michigan doing a better job putting Bryce Underwood in position to succeed?

The guys give their One BIG Takeaway, share their Pessimistic Michigan Moments and hand out the weekly ATW Awards.

Then it's On to UTEP. The checklist is simple: protect Bryce, establish the run, get the receivers involved, play boring defense, stay healthy and take care of business.

Is Michigan finally starting to look like the team we expected?

Michigan football is 1-0 — but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.

Nate, Brandon and Cousin Kyle are back on All Things Wolverines to break down Michigan’s wild 13-12 escape against Western Michigan and ask a much bigger question: Is this Wolverines roster in worse shape than we thought?

We’re still big believers in Kyle Whittingham, but his Michigan debut exposed some serious concerns. Bryce Underwood struggled with turnovers, decision-making and consistency. The offensive line failed to control the game. Michigan couldn’t establish its traditional rushing attack. And an offense that was supposed to take a step forward looked alarmingly familiar.

So how much of this can Whittingham and his staff actually fix — and how quickly?

We break down:

🏈 Michigan’s bizarre last-second win over Western Michigan
〽️ What’s going wrong with Bryce Underwood
😬 Why the offensive line may be Michigan’s biggest concern
🏃 What happened to the Wolverines’ rushing attack?
👀 Whether this roster has deeper problems than expected
🧠 Our early impressions of the Kyle Whittingham era
🔥 The pressure on Underwood to turn things around
⚔️ A massive matchup with Top-10 Oklahoma coming to the Big House
📈 What Michigan has to fix before facing a much better opponent

Can Whittingham get this turned around? Can Underwood finally become the quarterback Michigan needs him to be? Or was Western Michigan a warning sign of what’s ahead?

Michigan just wrapped a roller-coaster 9-3 season — and it all came crashing down in a 27–9 loss to Ohio State. Michigan's 4 year winning streak against an Ohio State University comes to a screeching halt.

In this episode, Nate, Brandon and Cousin Kyle break down what on earth happened, from the offense going missing to the defense also going missing. We ask the big questions:

• Is Wink Martindale’s defense past its expiration date?

• Is Sherrone Moore starting to feel the seat warm up?

• And seriously… where do we go from here?

Expect proper Michigan pessimism and just enough hope to convince yourself to be interested in a random bowl game.
