On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love.

On this episode of "Land-Grant In Conversation," Matt Tamanini talks to The Athletic beat writer covering the Michigan Wolverines, Autin Meek. They discuss what impact Jim Harbaugh's absence will have on quarterback J.J. McCarthy, what the injury status is for players who have been banged up in recent weeks, what has led to the decline in production from all-purpose back Donovan Edwards, and more.

Then, they get into the sign-stealing scandal and subsequent fallout. Austin details how the investigation and suspension of Harbaugh have impacted both the fans and the team and what the latter will need to do to focus on the game, rather than the emotions of the situation.
