WTKA Roundtable 11-10-2016: The Speightening

45 minutes

[Bryan Fuller]

Things discussed:

• Watching Harbaugh set the world on fire is a mood-improving experience
• The Speightening! Best one-half performance by a quarterback in Michigan history? Benny Friedman inventing the forward pass and the Drew Bowl in 2000 are the comps.
• Speight was ready to transfer to N.C. State before Drake Harris talked him out of it [ED-Seth: reminder that almost every player ever has thought of transferring]
• Maryland was a terrible run defense so skepticism on the run’s success. Their pass D was probably overrated because nobody bothered to pass on them.
• Receivers bounce back!
• Defense’s holes are becoming apparent on the edge.
• Defending Ohio State: Limit pressure on Barrett by squeezing him into a tiny pocket and make him throw uncomfortably.
• Ed’s three most overrated teams this preseason: Iowa, MSU, and Houston. MSU and Iowa were highly fortunate teams who are reverting to who they are.
• Iowa’s strengths:
• The Situation Trophy!
• Louisville vs. Michigan if Michigan and Washington have a loss.
• Hoops.
