Previously on The Michigan Football Preview: Offense

Ace, Dan, Connor and Taylor go position-by-position through Michigan’s defense. But first: the worst possible second date, celebrating Meltdown August, picking apart the mythology of Kinnick at night and more.

Please subscribe, rate and review, if you’re amenable.

Topics:

• Connor only watches movies with subtitles
• The most down bad date of all time
• The “Faceoff on the Lake” is sadly semi-false advertising
• Meltdown August
• Remembering Some Punt Returners
• We hit the under on our “Caden Kolesar mention” prop bet
• Dispelling the myth of Night Kinnick
• Connor’s big mood is an accidental self-critique
• The defensive line: large, good, but how productive?
• Edge: big shoes to fill, lots of possible contributors to fill them
• Inside linebacker: solid potential among the starters, not a lot of depth
• Cornerback: the strength of the defense, arguably
• Nickel: will be a downgrade from Dax Hill but a lot of ways to fill this spot
• Safety: should have at least three playable guys, we all love Rod Moore
• Special teams: good kicking, please don’t use indispensable players as returners
