Out of the Blue: A Michigan Sports Podcast

The Michigan Wolverines are off to a 2-0 start and are rushing the ball like maniacs, but is that going to be sustainable? We don't apologize for wins around these parts, but concerns about the lack of development of the passing game and opportunity for more quarterback reps might be warranted.

Maize n Brew discusses this and more in this week's Monday night podcast. We'll chat about what went down over the weekend and how it might have changed the outlook moving forward. Also, the fans showed up and delivered a special atmosphere on Saturday night and deserve credit for that.

The Michigan Wolverines moved to 2-0 on the 2021 season with a 31-10 drubbing of the Washington Huskies on Saturday night in Ann Arbor. The Washington Huskies came to town desperate after a loss to FCS Montana in Week 1, but the Michigan rushing attack and defense made sure they sent them back to Seattle with their tail between their legs. Anthony Broome runs through the victory and the things most people are discussing coming out of the victory.

The game was not without its share of concerns, as fans are worried about the offensive playcalling and lack of a passing threat. However, it is hard to argue with another week of surpassing 300-plus yards on the ground. Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum look like future pros and comprise the current identity of this football team. Also, good luck blocking Aidan Hutchinson this season.

We run though the positives, negatives, your three-word takeaways and more.

Michigan got off to a good start in Week 1 with a 47-14 win over Western Michigan. However, UM’s Week 2 opponent fell flat to open their year. The Washington Huskies were upset by Montana 13-7.

The Huskies were ranked No. 20 heading into Week 1, but offensive line issues plagued them in their loss to the Grizzlies. Washington’s defense held their own until the final minutes, but there are a lot of question marks and injuries on the offensive side of the ball heading into their tilt vs. Michigan.

To sort it all out we caught up with Dave Mahler from 950 KJR in Seattle to get the scoop on Washington.

On this week’s edition of the Future Brew podcast, Von and Stephen do a deep dive into the recruits in the 2022 class who plan on being in Ann Arbor this Saturday when the Michigan Wolverines take on the Washington Huskies under the lights at the Big House. Among the top visitors include five-star defensive lineman Walter Nolen — who will be visiting Michigan for the third time this year — five-star cornerback Domani Jackson, five-star offensive lineman Joshua Conerly, four-star linebacker Lander Barton and many more.

Then, the boys discuss how, if at all, the situation for recruiting wide receivers could change for the 2022 class with the recent season-ending injury to Ronnie Bell. Should the Wolverines continue attempting to get the third guy on board to join four-star Tyler Morris and three-star in-stater Tayshawn Trent? Or should they focus on other areas of importance now that Bell’s return to Michigan is more likely?

The Michigan Wolverines are going to be without Ronnie Bell for the foreseeable future, as the senior wide receiver is out for the year with a knee injury that will require surgery. Anthony Broome and Luke Ghiardi discuss how Michigan will work to offset this and their options moving forward, as well as discuss how expectations for the Wolverines have changed. Saturday looks like a must-win after Washington lost a game to FCS Montana.

Also, Anthony and Luke discuss some people calling the Washington contest a “lose-lose” game for the Wolverines. Anthony does not buy it, while Luke can see the merits of how it affects how people view the development of the program.

The Michigan Wolverines came out in the 2021 football season opener and did exactly what you should against a MAC opponent, even if Western Michigan is expected to be competitive in its conference. Anthony Broome reviews the win, which had a number of storylines despite it being a laugher.

Positives addressed include the rushing attack's quick start to the season, an efficient display from the quarterback position and adjustments (!!!) made on the defensive side of the ball. From a negative standpoint, Ronnie Bell's injury looms large, and there's still a major question about Josh Gattis. Will Michigan learn a critical lesson from last year?

All of that and more, including your three-word reactions to the victory. On to Washington!
