A win over 11th ranked USC in the big house is huge. Wasn’t pretty but it was a W. Everyone in the country picked USC to win this game. The boys put their heads down and never quit. Get better each week and this will be a dangerous team by November. Go Blue!
Hmm ... in some ways, this win underscores the long time argument that The Rose Bowl, however sacred it may be, was essentially a Pac 12 home game. Let them come to Ann Arbor and play us in OUR backyard once in awhile - Washington back in '21, for example, and of course last Saturday, to name just a few. 🤔🏈
CBS' s production was greatly helped Michigan's first ever and oh so cool stripe out game! Seeing it person was a sight to behold but the aerial view was pretty awesome.
I recall the late Joe Falls - the longtime sportswriter for the Freep and News, for you old schoolers - once fantasized the ideal Schembechler Rose Bowl victory as a 7-0 Gladitorial, Antietam, Hamburger Hill conquest of USC where the Wolverines would march 98 yards in 18 plays in the last two minutes whereupon the fullback, on fourth and goal at the one yard line, would bulldoze through for the winning TD. ' We FINALLY did it MY way !', Bo would exclaim in the exhausted, joyous lockerroom. Well M Clubbers, while not an exacting vision, you saw something of an intimation of it on Saturday. RIP, Bo. Go Blue. 🦁 🏉 🏈 🇺🇲
Since 2016, UM is 6-0 in games where they have less than 100 passing yards. UM is perfectly comfortable ramming it down a team’s throat. Gotta keep developing Orji as a passer, but they’ll have a couple games to get more in game reps before facing another real opponent.
I'm not so sure that I was perfectly comfortable with the offense in the 2nd half. I dont't think that we can beat Oregon, Penn State and Ohios State with the formula on offense. Maybe one of them. Or are we going to get upset by some other team. One think for sure, no one wants to play us with the way we hit. We just need to make the playoff.
It's sad that as a UM fan I find Mark to be much smarter than Steve. I always agree with Mark and almost always disagree with Steve. This week was no different.
@@slippinjimmy9826 yea, steve loves Michigan no doubt - but the team’s recent string of success seems to have brought out the worst in him. Pompous and arrogant is saying it nicely quite frankly. You could even say detached from reality at times as well.
First time in my long life to see Michigan beat USC. What a great win! Mullings literally dragged that guy on the final long run. You could see lines in the turf from the USC players toes. Still doesn't make up for the phantom TD by Charles White in the Rose Bowl, but hey, it's a great start. Defense was lights out. Our D-linemen were tossing USC linemen to the ground constantly. These guys on defense are friggin' killers. And what does defense win? Smash mouth.
Great game on both sides a true classic Miller Moss really tough quarterback and the play that marks made on Grant stealing the ball away was the game changer . Michigan's final drive was epic overall a great game . Loved the sportsmanship at the end of the game two class teams.
Not really a "drive". One play on the "drive" was for 60 yards. A long "drive" wouldn't have got it done. No pass game and not enough time for a 10 play run play drive.
As a long time fan and viewer of your show, I believe I have earned the right to demand you to update the introductory video of your show Steve!!! It badly needs to include a couple of short clips from last year's historic season! It would be awesome!
Michigan has established the most PHYSICAL football culture of any CFP team. Regardless of “recruiting rankings”. No one phone booth’s their opponents better than the block Ⓜ️
@@fredbriggs2225the only reason why it was close though was because Kenneth grant didn’t fall down and Donovan Edwards had a rare fumble. Take those 2 self inflicted wounds out and Michigan wins 27-10
@@taxisquad11 wrong. They were physical vs Arkansas St. the 15 points were from 4th stringers. 1 and 2 held them to 3. Fresno State they were physical and kept Michigan in the game. Texas. They played well. The 17 of the 24 points they gave up was short field from offensive turnovers. That’s hard for any defense vs an offense like Texas. Texas only drove the length of the field 3 times in the first half and went 1-3. It would’ve been 10-3 at halftime without offensive turnovers So try again
Yes now in everybody mind IS how Michigan plays on the road? So far all games at home including this Saturday against Minnesota which they should destroy
I thought Devin Gardner made a good point on MMQB. Orji did what was asked of him on Saturday, and we can build the offense around his skill set. Tim Tebow had a similar skill set and won a national championship.
22:50 VOCF 100% correct. SEEING THIS! Not going full bore in portal In February - Michigan COULD have flipped somebody. Or made a huge effort. Thinking Michigan was OK at QB - is an assessment and development failure of galactic proportion for a team that promoted the QB Coach AND OC! Both didn’t do their jobs at all. PS Portal NEVER really CLOSES. Commitment pretty much an NIL misnomer.
@@taxisquad11 You're not wrong, but I'm not saying we can or will win another championship. I'm saying - well, actually Devin Gardner was saying and I agree - that Orji has a skillset that's good enough to win a national championship. Whether the rest of the team is good enough for that is a different question, and I'm sure we'd all agree that the answer to that is a solid "No."
Start Mullings and use Edwards when the D is a little tired and well see more consistent production out of the offense. Run Orji a couple more times and teach him three passing concepts he can throw. Blitz a little less and let the four lineman apply the pressure.
Been a Michigan fan for 40+ years,not surprised how they won this game. Don’t think Orgi is the guy to throw a 15,20 yard pass downfield.We can win Saturday against Minnesota with 98 percent running,but not likely in the future with our schedule
We just don't know about Orji. All the evidence is that he can't, but we have a very limited sample set. This week, Wink Martindale told the media that if the game situation called upon Orji to use his he's fully confident Oji would be able to do that.
It's pretty obvious the players on this team responded to Orji being named the starter this past week. My belief is they were all shocked and unenthusiastic about Warren being named the starter at the beginning of the season. But it's better it worked out this way. Now...we have to ride Orji to the end unless he gets hurt. If the team will follow him and win games, then he's the guy!
Michigan may not be about chucking the ball all over the field but we have certainly had QBs that threw the ball quite a bit. Brady, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, Henson, Collins, I mean yes our run games were a huge part of the offense but we absolutely could throw the ball when we had to. Hell even Denard could throw the ball. Orji has got to be atleast close to Denard. Even if he misses guys and we keep trying if it's one on ones I feel like it will keep the defenses honest. Anyway I get Michigan is a run first culture but to say we have never been about tossing the ball down field id not agree. Unfortunately I do think it will probably cost us some close ones this year but it is what it is. We won the damn Natty last year so I'm ok with this not being a natty run. I sure wouldn't mind beating OSU again though lol. Id sacrifice every game this season to just beat them again in Columbus
fun fact, prior to this last game, USC was the only team in the country that had a winning record vs Michigan that played at least 5 games. USC was 5-4 all 9 games played at the Rose Bowl and now no longer have that edge. Go Blue! (if you like me don't count the Charles White phantom fumble, we would have the edge at 6-4) Boom!
It seemed like our guys were hitting them very hard. I know we got some players banged up, but it seemed like Trojans were strewn across the field throughout the game. If this keeps up and they improve, our O line going to be very physical at the end of the season.
This was a Michigan classic from the old days. Steve what I am still blown away by is Navy AND Army threw for more yards on Saturday individually than Michigan. Go Blue BOSA.
Someone needs to talk to Al Borges. Did we forget he was the offensive coordinator for Denard Robinson? Been watching Robertsons highlight and there are some crazy formations and blocking schemes with the fullback and running backs,
As a Michigan fan this was painful to watch. Why it took 4 games to know Mullins was the guy, after knowing what he has been doing the last 2 years behind Corum was a bit amazing to me. Penalties, turnovers, blown coverages, missed blocking assignments, there are still a lot of concerns with this team especially with their manic play. That said it was still a great win for a team still finding its own identity.
If we can get to where Orji can actually throw the ball and hurt you through the air when necessary, we'll be back on track. But just not turning the ball over is big and run until you can't. Most of all ... WIN! Get the W. That's the most important thing. This team has remembered how to win. Now they need to build and grow. GO WIN THE JUG! :-) GO BLUE!
I’ll take the W, that’s what matters, rather be Army and winning then being passing attack happy and losing. With that said, need to get that number closer to 100yds a game
Last week FanDuel had Michigan 150 to 1 to win the Natty. O put down $50. If Michigan wins the Natty I win $7,500 😊 I think Michigan can beat any team if our O-line starts jelling a little better. Our defense is Natty caliber already. P s. Now FanDuel has Michigan 120 to 1.
I’m 27 minutes in & Steve can’t stop talking over Rogers. I agree with Mark about playing an actual QB in that last drive. Those types of miracles won’t happen many times. But let’s see how the 2nd half of this podcast goes
Don't overlook Minnesota! We've done that before and it came back to bite us multiple times in the past 30 years. Minnesota plays the same style of offense/defense; so they will not be fazed by a potential rock fight. Lastly, if Loveland and Johnson are at least 85%, they need to play. Can't afford to lose this game! And we'll need them both.
Minnesota got run over by Iowa-Michigan should do the same. Michigan 27-Minnesota 10-Gophers are bad really bad-Lost to North Carolina who gave up 70 points to James Madison
internet signal comment was putting it nicely lol. Enjoy being at the game I will also be there. 10-2 (my preseason prediction) is still on the table baby lets go!
Well. It remains to be seen how this team progresses. IU and Illinois are going to be tough UW in Seattle and yes msu are no gimme’s either and of course there is Oregon & osu. Big win to be sure. But loooong way to go.
You have called Davis Warren a "Zero" so many times, what happens if Alex gets hurt, Now Steve are you going to look to the bench and yell out "HEY ZERO" put on your helmet and get in there. If you are the coach, Davis Warren should say my big toe hurts, NO CAN DO......But No, You better pray to God Davis Warren doesn't go in there and throw for 300 yards and 4 Touchdowns, Steve, Please Stop with calling our players a ZERO !!!! We are a team. When Davis was in there that O Line was like Jello !!!!
I hope Mark is compensated for his weekly cameo! Deace ask questions then slaps duct tape across his mouth before he can give full responses. Mark’s humility is borderline Christ like!
I say this not as a hater, but it amazes how spoiled certain fan bases are. A couple of weeks ago, skies falling. The season's over. Questioning the coaching hire. A couple of weeks later, ALL IN!
Yeah I'd like it if Mark had a channel where he only discusses the Big Ten instead of only getting a minute of him speaking before being rudely interrupted everytime by Steve. We've been complaining about this forever and he doesn't care. They were doing something like that together and they stopped. Idk how Mark has the patience for this 😂
Dear Mark, you’re going to have to give my coach a break on this QB situation. Harbaugh didn’t leave till the end of January. At that point there wasn’t really anything left in the transfer portal. so all that’s really Harbaugh fault. The ball was dropped and no one was talking to these kids so I’m not sure what Sherrone was supposed to do. He wasn’t head coach yet.
NIL always open. UNLV QB just entered yesterday. Hard to believe MICH couldn’t flip somebody in February given the free (NIL!) for all carousel that never really stops. Feels like Mich thought the room was solid. Sure - February flip not easy but - more effort called for. Also - how from even this room does Mich come up with only this. Rogers 100% valid concern. Who-not the question-but nobody not the answer. IF Orji a success - then how’d MICH miss using him earlier. Recruit / NIL / assess / develop - all missed with a four to five QB room with a lotta stars.
I guess i don't know what ive watched, so far, with Michigan. There haven't been three pass plays where there was enough time to drop back, set, scan the field and throw. But, apparently thats because we dont have a quarterback. I doubt JJ would have 300 yards passing at this point in the season.
Every week I tune in, and every week Steve interrupts Mark constantly and states his opinions as if they are irrefutable fact. Generally, I like Steve, but damn he loves to hear himself talk.
2021 was Cade and occasional JJ. 2024 should be Orgi run plays with veteran passer Tuttle coming in OFTEN for obvious passing down situations. There ! Problem solved .
When you run the ball as much as Michigan does, it is not as simple as to say just wipe out the few big plays they made, and the other team dominated. USC was putting everyone up near the line if scrimmage to stop the run which always results in a ton of stops and short runs and tackles for loss and always allows a few huge plays, it’s the same narrative Ohio State fans tried to use after the 2022 game, but it is the common result of overly aggressive defense.
I was talking shit last week and I am here to eat a little crow.. great game vs a feisty USC team.. let see if it was a fluke.. the no passing game is going to be hard to maintain
7 consecutive wins when they pass for LESS than 100 yards is a crazy stat. Theat needs to get publicized a lot more to get U-M fans to stop panicking over the rest of the year. Alex Orji passed for 3,467 yards and 38 TD's his last two years of high school. The idea he can't throw a ball 20 yards is nonsense. He needs to improve a great deal but the ability is there.
Mark does know that Defense is part of the team to right? I don't think USC was the better team from 2 quarter to last drive because Michigans defense still was playing in the game and had Donovan not turned the ball over and had grant not re fumbled the ball back I think Michigan wins by a couple touchdowns
Michigan should never have a 3 man D line allignment. Michigan does not need to blitz even 28 % of the time . For the 4th straight year, the M defensive line is the best and deepest in college football. 10% blitz rate is sufficient. That tough and ferocious front 4 has no peer, and blitzing at all is mostly unnecessary.
I have been hate watching ichigan as long as steve and while the win is nice, there is a ton of copium in the comments. Orgi can't throw a pass to save his life. Teams in October and November will load the box and force him to beat the defense. The eyes don't lie, he is a Temu denard Robinson.
Lee Corso was the only one on GameDay who picked Michigan. The old Sunshine Scooter has still got it!
Didn't Blake Shelton pick us as well or are you just going off the espn crew? biggest disappointment was Desmond taking USC..
A win over 11th ranked USC in the big house is huge. Wasn’t pretty but it was a W. Everyone in the country picked USC to win this game. The boys put their heads down and never quit. Get better each week and this will be a dangerous team by November. Go Blue!
Michigan was no more favored in early 2021, but that worked out.
There is plenty of season left ahead.
@@jamesberry4514the way the offense looks like now is similar to 2021 where we have the RBs carrying to load of the offense in September.
Even Desmond Howard picked USC to win!
Did you see what Iowa State did to Arkansas State 52-7 and you struggled with them....at home...woop di do
@@michaelthompson729 do you remember when you predicted USC to roll us over during last week?
Hmm ... in some ways, this win underscores the long time argument that The Rose Bowl, however sacred it may be, was essentially a Pac 12 home game. Let them come to Ann Arbor and play us in OUR backyard once in awhile - Washington back in '21, for example, and of course last Saturday, to name just a few. 🤔🏈

@@ikefink522 Sure ! And I remember when the Ducks crushed UM 38-7 in The Big House back in '98. So there are exceptions here and there.

USC left that game bruised and battered. It seems like throughout the game they had 3 or 4 injuries. Michigan’s an extremely physical team.
The SC QG was beat up pretty bad by the end the day. He didn't want anyone touching him & barely made it the locker room after.
I still have a place in my heart for abc’s Keith Jackson calling football games.

How can a quarterback that can't throw reach this level?
A staff that has no idea what a QB looks like
We really need to add "Business is Finished" to the opening montage.
They should also add 3-4 Orgi runs into the scheme each week. Power running game wrinkles will do wonders.
Geeez, stop filibustering Steve. Let Mark respond to some of your points, before they are buried by 14 additional points.
He does interrupt quite a bit. This is an opportunity trait for Steve, lol. We believe you can do this, Steve!

BEST intro EVER!!!!!❤❤❤
Here's the thing Steve last few years the teams made passes when they had to. I dint think this team has that ability.
Well said Steve! 👏🙌
32 yards passing.
We are Army now…😮
we're 1-0 in the Big Ten
I’ll take the W, that’s what matters, rather be Army and winning then being passing attack happy and losing. With that said, need to get that number closer to 100yds a game
118yds against Fresno St
Rod Moore returns and Orji develops chemistry with Loveland and Klein. What's the ceiling for the Maize & Blue then?
Moore not coming back this year takes 9-12 months-has not practiced or played all year
Last week FanDuel had Michigan 150 to 1 to win the Natty. O put down $50. If Michigan wins the Natty I win $7,500 😊
I think Michigan can beat any team if our O-line starts jelling a little better. Our defense is Natty caliber already.
P s. Now FanDuel has Michigan 120 to 1.

We must get Fred Moore the ball! He's the most explosive wide receiver!
This guy is hitting the hammer on the nail!!

Hear, hear!!
I'd take 2-10 if you guaranteed me this. haha
What about Indiana
Suckeyes will destroy us.

This was a significant win.
Don't overlook Minnesota! We've done that before and it came back to bite us multiple times in the past 30 years. Minnesota plays the same style of offense/defense; so they will not be fazed by a potential rock fight. Lastly, if Loveland and Johnson are at least 85%, they need to play. Can't afford to lose this game! And we'll need them both.
Minnesota got run over by Iowa-Michigan should do the same. Michigan 27-Minnesota 10-Gophers are bad really bad-Lost to North Carolina who gave up 70 points to James Madison
Shocked we didn’t throw , that’s funny.
internet signal comment was putting it nicely lol. Enjoy being at the game I will also be there. 10-2 (my preseason prediction) is still on the table baby lets go!
Steve needs to take a breath once in a while and let Mark speak more.
We won without our tight end.
U gotta update the intro. "We won the natty "
Well. It remains to be seen how this team progresses. IU and Illinois are going to be tough UW in Seattle and yes msu are no gimme’s either and of course there is Oregon & osu. Big win to be sure. But loooong way to go.
You have called Davis Warren a "Zero" so many times, what happens if Alex gets hurt, Now Steve are you going to look to the bench and yell out "HEY ZERO" put on your helmet and get in there. If you are the coach, Davis Warren should say my big toe hurts, NO CAN DO......But No, You better pray to God Davis Warren doesn't go in there and throw for 300 yards and 4 Touchdowns, Steve, Please Stop with calling our players a ZERO !!!! We are a team. When Davis was in there that O Line was like Jello !!!!
I hope Mark is compensated for his weekly cameo! Deace ask questions then slaps duct tape across his mouth before he can give full responses. Mark’s humility is borderline Christ like!
Tuttle for passing downs
I say this not as a hater, but it amazes how spoiled certain fan bases are. A couple of weeks ago, skies falling. The season's over. Questioning the coaching hire. A couple of weeks later, ALL IN!
This is unwatchable, Steve won’t even let Mark talk. And I’m a Michigan fan.
Agreed. Deace is completely obnoxious. Go Blue!
i enjoy watching Mark watch Steve bloviate. he had to be thinking thst he gets paid whether he talks or doesnt.
Yeah I'd like it if Mark had a channel where he only discusses the Big Ten instead of only getting a minute of him speaking before being rudely interrupted everytime by Steve. We've been complaining about this forever and he doesn't care. They were doing something like that together and they stopped. Idk how Mark has the patience for this 😂
Dear Mark, you’re going to have to give my coach a break on this QB situation. Harbaugh didn’t leave till the end of January. At that point there wasn’t really anything left in the transfer portal. so all that’s really Harbaugh fault. The ball was dropped and no one was talking to these kids so I’m not sure what Sherrone was supposed to do. He wasn’t head coach yet.
Way to go Steve , I wrote my comment beforehand marks been after Sherrone for weeks I paused was triggered
No every QB of every team I watched over the weekend was better than Orji. That shouldn't even be a possibility at UM
NIL always open. UNLV QB just entered yesterday. Hard to believe MICH couldn’t flip somebody in February given the free (NIL!) for all carousel that never really stops. Feels like Mich thought the room was solid. Sure - February flip not easy but - more effort called for. Also - how from even this room does Mich come up with only this. Rogers 100% valid concern. Who-not the question-but nobody not the answer. IF Orji a success - then how’d MICH miss using him earlier. Recruit / NIL / assess / develop - all missed with a four to five QB room with a lotta stars.
Steve you gotta let mark talk more man, love ya to death but you can tell the dude wants to say something but is to humble to talk over you.
Nice show.Sorry but I've got to leave when Rogers steps in.
Y'all lost your best player!! Can't do sh*" without that Heisman candidate CONNER ( IM A FELON AND A JOKE) STALLIONS!!!? LMFAO
why no read option plays??
I guess i don't know what ive watched, so far, with Michigan. There haven't been three pass plays where there was enough time to drop back, set, scan the field and throw. But, apparently thats because we dont have a quarterback. I doubt JJ would have 300 yards passing at this point in the season.
Makari Page had the worse game of his career. He misread two of the touchdowns
Nothing like an ugly Meechigan !win !!! I love it !!
Mullings is their best RB and he's a converted LB. Since they can't seem to land any top RB recruits they'll just convert LBs in the future.
Firm believer in run first but We can’t throw. It’s not that we don’t like last year. There’s a big difference
We can throw, you have to give oeji time him or Warren had no time to throw especially Alex
Every week I tune in, and every week Steve interrupts Mark constantly and states his opinions as if they are irrefutable fact. Generally, I like Steve, but damn he loves to hear himself talk.
We're still.good . You must come to play to beat us
Its NOT true that veteran Tuttle is a turnover machine. He is a fine passer, a 7 year accurate veteran who rarely makes mistakes.
Pound the rock against Minnesota and use timely play action between the 30’s…get him a few reps in pass game
2021 was Cade and occasional JJ. 2024 should be Orgi run plays with veteran passer Tuttle coming in OFTEN for obvious passing down situations. There ! Problem solved .
When you run the ball as much as Michigan does, it is not as simple as to say just wipe out the few big plays they made, and the other team dominated. USC was putting everyone up near the line if scrimmage to stop the run which always results in a ton of stops and short runs and tackles for loss and always allows a few huge plays, it’s the same narrative Ohio State fans tried to use after the 2022 game, but it is the common result of overly aggressive defense.
Leroy Horde!! Great reference. Ecstatic. We beat SC!
And Jerrod Bunch as his running mate. Two big backs from the past
Will they be ready mentally to play this weekend?
Give me Keith Jackson over Brent Moistberger any day!
I was talking shit last week and I am here to eat a little crow.. great game vs a feisty USC team.. let see if it was a fluke.. the no passing game is going to be hard to maintain
37 passing yards, game won on last play of game, season saved 🤣🤣🤣
Michigan has a playoffs resume @ the quarter mark
7 consecutive wins when they pass for LESS than 100 yards is a crazy stat. Theat needs to get publicized a lot more to get U-M fans to stop panicking over the rest of the year.
Alex Orji passed for 3,467 yards and 38 TD's his last two years of high school. The idea he can't throw a ball 20 yards is nonsense. He needs to improve a great deal but the ability is there.
Gotta get Sermaj the balll
Mark does know that Defense is part of the team to right? I don't think USC was the better team from 2 quarter to last drive because Michigans defense still was playing in the game and had Donovan not turned the ball over and had grant not re fumbled the ball back I think Michigan wins by a couple touchdowns
Even with loses to Oregon and Ohio state, a 9-3 Michigan could still sneak into the playoffs
NO WAY-SEC will get 5 or 6 teams in
What about Indiana?
Oregon is too small.
5 star all world DB Will Johnson is the most physically talented DB , pro or college , and has been for 3 years.
Michigan should never have a 3 man D line allignment. Michigan does not need to blitz even 28 % of the time . For the 4th straight year, the M defensive line is the best and deepest in college football. 10% blitz rate is sufficient. That tough and ferocious front 4 has no peer, and blitzing at all is mostly unnecessary.
if anybody playing quarterback on this team throws the ball 20 times, they are likely to lose. They’re just don’t have the receiving corps for that.
Dude let Mark speak
Nope, nope, nope nope….back away from the Kool Aid
I have been hate watching ichigan as long as steve and while the win is nice, there is a ton of copium in the comments. Orgi can't throw a pass to save his life. Teams in October and November will load the box and force him to beat the defense. The eyes don't lie, he is a Temu denard Robinson.
Greg Crippen should stay in the game from start to finish!!!
This video/season will not age well.
We all know what is coming.
