In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down their biggest takeaways from the No. 2 Michigan football team’s 41-13 win over Purdue. In the second half of the episode, they also look at the latest discussions related to the NCAA’s investigation in alleged sign-stealing by the Wolverines’ staff.

They open with a discussion about Michigan’s win, which moved the Wolverines to 9-0 on the season with all nine wins coming by at least 24 points. They discuss a strong showing from Michigan’s wide receivers, some perspective on JJ McCarthy and discuss just how concerning Michigan’s run-game struggles are. The conversation moves over to the defensive side of the ball, as the two look at top players, trends and takeaways as the Wolverines’ defense shined once again.

Then, in the second half of the episode, the two re-open their discussion about the sign-stealing scandal Michigan is being investigated for. They look at how things have changed since their last discussion Thursday, why a lot hasn’t changed, why there’s a Harbaugh-centric animosity from other Big Ten programs and the Wolverines prepping to fight the Big Ten if needed. They also offer the latest on the Big Ten’s meeting with Michigan administration late last week, among other updates.
