Ace and Connor co-host this week’s episode, which covers a very straightforward Nebraska win and a much less straightforward Big Ten West title race, for the most part.
Topics:

Let’s bring this MSU tunnel incident reporting energy to U-M’s issues, maybe?

Dominant teams win boring games.

Maybe Ronnie Bell was just trying to spice things up?

Michigan has some special true freshmen.

Illinois looks a lot less worrisome than a few weeks ago.

The dream Big Ten postseason scenario.

Ace, Connor and Taylor fire off some big moods, discuss the Rutgers win, and pick their Big Ten teams of the week (or two, in Connor’s case).
Topics:

You might want to mute “Harbaugh Colts” right now to get ahead of things.

Michigan had a very “we’re playing Rutgers” offensive game plan.

The lack of an elite WR is a bigger issue than J.J. McCarthy.

Blake Corum ran well, vomited. Donovan Edwards ran well, received well.

Trench dominance on both sides of the ball when accounting for the absences on the O-line.

Fades work sometimes, it’s fine.

We shall never speak of this special teams performance again.
