The Go Blue Detroit Michigan Football Podcast is back this week following Michigan’s impressive bounce back victory, a 63-3 demolition of Central Michigan, one of the Wolverine’s most dominant wins in years. Host Kevin Rich breaks down Bryce Underwood’s huge day, the impact of moving some guys around on defense, and why this felt different from past Michigan “tune-up” games. You’ll also hear Interim Coach Bigg Poggi’s exclusive weekly interview with Jim O’Brien on 94.7 WCSX, as Coach Poggi talks about what it means to coach this team in Sherrone Moore’s absence. Next, Mitch Sherman of The Athletic stops by to break down Nebraska, including Dylan Raiola’s poise so far in his second season, what Nebraska’s defense will be looking to do on Saturday, and what a win against Michigan on Saturday would mean for the program. Kevin also hands out his weekly betting picks, including his Lock of the Week, before closing with keys to Michigan vs. Nebraska and his final score prediction. Michigan kicks off Big Ten Conference play on the road in Lincoln – and we’ve got your covered.
