[After THE JUMP: What we said]

---------------------

1. Illinois Preview

starts at the top

Chase Brown might be hurt. Their running game runs everything under the Harbaugh sun—good thing we've seen that in practice a few times. Their defense will man up and blitz you, except against Purdue for some reason, which didn't work out for them.

2. Nebraska After Review

starts at 31:15

Running game execution is a hell of a thing to hang your hat on. Panic about the deep passing game yet? What about getting pressure? Yes, Michigan gets sacks, but mostly against bad competition and late when teams are in comeback mode. DTs are the best part of the defense.

3. Hoops Arizona State

starts at 50:26

Sometimes shots don't go down/go down and it's very dumb but this team isn't built to have Hunter do this all by himself.

4. Hockey

starts around 1:10:56

Sucks to have so many guys out you've got your 3rd goaltender dressed as a skater, and then you lose Ciccolini to a headshot and the guy who did it stays in to score two points. Also sucks that this was supposed to be the marquee weekend at Yost. Bench penalty for coming out late got Minnesota a 3-on-2 and that was the difference.

About the Featured Musician

Legume (Bandcamp, Facebook, Spotify) is a Detroit group fronted by Liam McNitt. It's chill acoustic or plucking-at-a-Fender vibe stuff but there's a hint of funk or jazz that creeps in sometimes. Liam's voice has a Julian Casablancas lilt. The lyrics are clever, though the poetry trips over itself at times.
