1. Offense vs Central MichiganStarts at 1:00
Michigan's biggest blowout since the 2016 Hawaii game. This game was trending towards a total rutger for a while and was a nice palette cleanser. More Biff Poggi interviews, please. Listen for the Chip's chips. Do we think "Sherrone's not here so let's play with the kids"? Who's your Crippen comparison, Andrew Vastardis? David Molk? This is what Bryce Underwood looks like when he's not under siege. What did Bryce see on the interception? He had someone open. One of the special things about Bryce is he can just go and get you 20 yards on the ground. Is he putting a little extra zip on the ball? McCulley had a couple nice catches, other guys need to catch the ball. Running backs did a better job of re-gapping in this game. The offensive line had a nice day with some [redshirt] freshman mistakes. Jadyn Davis played several drives with no passes.

2. Defense vs Central MichiganStarts at 44:32
Couldn't quite get a total rutger but felt like it would for a while. They played a 3-4 for most of this game. Jaishawn Barham found the backfield a lot. Manuel Beigel had some meaningful time in the first quarter. Central Michigan ran a lot of down G. A lot of guys were hurt in this game but backups looked good. Michigan has a little Channing Stribling now. Rolder was up and down but had some good stops. Does Biff even understand Batman's hero abilities work??
3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special TeamsStarts at 1:05:11
Takes hotter than the Georgia Tech radio announcer after the bees hit a fire drill field goal from 50 yards and they SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE THIS. There's a list of things you can't bring into the stadium but they're handing out versions of the thing! Someone teach the students how to do the wave and when to do it, we didn't even get a fast or slow wave. And not when the game is happening! We like Jake Butt as a commentator. What's Semaj's plan when he's fielding punts? Definitely a sad field goal.
4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie MacStarts at 1:38:31
Too many Big Ten teams so notes are reduced.
Nebraska 59, Houson Christian 7
Maryland 44, Towsend 17
Penn State 52, Villanova 6
Penn State is struggling to convert on 3rd down on Drew Allar's arm.
Rutgers 60, Norfolk State 10
Iowa 47, UMass 7
Indiana 73, Indiana State 0
ISU with 77 total yards, not a total rutger.
Oregon 34, Northwestern 14
Most of Northwestern's yards were in the 4th quarter while down 34-0, but Northwestern had a pulse at times.
Alabama 38, Wisconsin 14
No Billy Edwards in this game. Wisconsin couldn't do anything, this was a debacle. If they don't beat Maryland, do they get a win the Big Ten?
USC 33, Purdue 17
It wasn't particularly close, but Purdue had some long drives (that ended in picks).
Michigan State 41, Youngstown State 24
This was a bit of a game for a little while?? Michigan State was always in control but gave up some big plays. The Spartans lost some starters to injuries.
Ohio State 37, Ohio 9
The score looks close but it was not. Ryan Day's decision making kept the scoring low.
Illinois 38, Western Michigan 0
Is Illinois really a top 10 team? Which Memorial Stadium is the real Memorial Stadium?
California 27, Minnesota 14
A game that was fairly even statistically except for a couple turnovers.
New Mexico 35, UCLA 10
UCLA is BAD bad, and they fired their coach. This was not a fluke. New Mexico got pressure on 52% of Nico's dropbacks. The Big Sky says "no thanks" to adding UCLA.
