Michigan is a work in progress on offense and Purdue will give them a chance to keep working on the passing game this week. With me today is the radio play by play voice of the Boilermakers Tim Newton.

Michigan vs Michigan State. That's all you really need to say. 

Every year the stakes are high in this rivalry. For Sparty beating Michigan would save their season, and maybe their coaches job. For Michigan a win would keep them on track to accomplish their goals. It's also NBC's National Saturday night game. Joining us with his thoughts on this toxic rivalry and the season to this point is Spartan beat writer Connor Earegood from The Detroit News

The youngest team in the B10 is getting their on the job training in a big way this year. There have been ups and downs, and there will be more. What we need to keep seeing is progress. Although there was none last week. A very good Washington team makes the timezone trip to Ann Arbor and offers Bryce and team 146 another chance for a big win. Will we be prepared? Joining me with his thoughts on that and more is one of the greatest Michigan running backs to ever wear the wing tipped helmet. Jamie Morris, who also hosts The M Zone Monday through Friday on WTKA Ann Arbor

We've said this a few times this season, but it's true for Saturday. It's a pivotal game for Michigan Football and their season. Win...and  things look better. Lose..and things could get ugly. Joining us with her thoughts on a very good Washington team is Huskies Radio Network sideline reporter Elise Woodward. 

Can USC get their high octane offense in gear against Wink's defense? Will Bryce Underwood and the offense be able to put up enough points to win in a shootout? Joining me with his thoughts on those questions and more is Anthony Broome from The Wolverine ON3

Michigan will rely on their defense to slow down the No 1 offense in the country on Saturday night. A big 2 time zone test awaits The Wolverines..and our history of winning on the coast is not good. It should be an exciting matchup! With us today is the legendary radio play by play voice of The Trojans Pete Arbogast 

Wisconsin visits The Big House for Homecoming on Saturday and they are struggling. Michigan is coming off a bye week and looking to keep improving in every phase of the game. October is a critical month for Team 146. Either they will prove to be contenders, or a team that is just not ready. Joining me with thoughts on that and more is beat writer Tony Garcia from The Detroit Free Press.

It might be too early to say Luke Fickell is on the hot seat in Madison, but the Badger faithful booed loudly and left early during the Maryland loss. They are not happy. Joining me today with his thoughts on that and more is the radio play by play voice of Wisconsin football Matt LePay

We're 3-1 entering our first bye week of the season. Team 146 is a work in progress, and that is perfectly fine at this stage of the season. Let's get to work and heal up for the next stretch of games. Joining us today with his thoughts on that and much more is beat writer Austin Meek from The Athletic.
