WTKA Roundtable 10/1/2026: More Guys Named Bob

MGoBlog — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 14:17:12 GMT

Things Discussed:

When was the last time M averaged 70 yards/game?
Craig: At least 20 plays. This was as bad as it gets. Three holdings that weren't holding, five really bad spots, block in the back on their return. Seth: The holds on runs that go outside are the outlier.
Bryce: INT he's expecting Marsh to stop. To go from someone who was staring down the play to someone moving defenders w his eyes was great. Throwing dots all game. Flea-flicker to Buchanan was great. Moving the pocket to get the Buchanan TD was a 30-yard throw on the move downfield; he flicked one that was incredibly catchable.
Two Duos in this game, Iowa does the Jet Kill thing on one, next time they don't do it and they get a good gain.
In the break: Kanka is a great development. He killed a power play, got that sack with Boney. His emergence means Lea'ea gets to be a specialty 3-tech not the backup nose.
Minnesota: Not impressed with their OL. Defense is one good one one bad one at every position.
Hoop preview with Noland/Gayle: will be a good team, not the defensive nightmare they were last year. Go watch this video by Jess Speight—who's got some directing chops apparently—about Rez for the part about building last year's team. They knew they were going to be special when they found lottery guys going underused at Illinois and UCLA.
Hockey: They're going to have a 1st rounder on the 3rd team, will have to scratch a good defender every night, M/MSU the top two teams again.

RESET BUTTON: Michigan STUNG by Iowa; MUST Bounce Back at Minnesota! Gophers SMELLING Upset!

craig shemon — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Kyle Whittingham and the Michigan football program have had a CRAZY start to the college football season with their controversial win over Western Michigan and their last second loss to Iowa at home to begin Big Ten play. Up next the Wolverines head to Minnesota to take on PJ Fleck and the Gophers who are coming off an impressive road win at Washington. We break down this game as Michigan tries to get its season back on track and the Gophers are smelling an upset.

We also talk about how Ryan Day is looking for momentum for his Buckeyes but that might be a tough task at Iowa. Mike Locksley appears to be in trouble at Maryland which we discuss. Matt Rhule speaks about his former quarterback Dylan Raiola's success at Oregon and we have Big Ten Classics here on Locked on Big Ten!

The Michigan Man Podcast - Episode 857 - Michigan Game Day for Minnesota

Mike Fitzpatrick — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 09:00:00 GMT

The Little Brown Jug is part of the fabric of Minnesota and Michigan Football. The Gophers last had custody of the jug in 2014. They want the jug back. Minnesota's last home win against Michigan was in 1977, when Bo Schembechler took a No 1 ranked team to Minneapolis and lost 16-0. The Gophers think they are overdue for a home win. Michigan wants to keep the jug, and they need to bounce back from last Saturday's gut punch of a loss to Iowa. Yes...it's a big game for a lot of reasons. Beat writer Aaron McMann from MLive joins me to discuss all of that and more.

INEXPLICABLE: Michigan Wolverines Outgain Iowa as Costly Errors DERAIL Bryce Underwood’s Breakout

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 19:59:16 GMT

Michigan Wolverines let a golden opportunity slip away against Iowa, raising big questions about execution and discipline. Eight costly penalties, a critical turnover, and late defensive breakdowns defined Michigan’s narrow defeat, despite Bryce Underwood’s standout performance and a strong showing from the offensive line.

Isaiah Hole breaks down where things went wrong for Michigan, assesses controversial play calls by Jason Beck and Jay Hill, and challenges hot takes circulating among fans. Can Kyle Whittingham’s squad clean up the mental mistakes in time for pivotal clashes with Minnesota, Penn State, and Ohio State? Key topics include the Wolverines’ offensive evolution against top-ranked Iowa defense, the impact of penalties on scoring drives, and why the season’s big objectives are still in play. Will Michigan turn these growing pains into a springboard for a postseason push?

1. Offense vs Iowa

Starts at 0:54

The way we feel about this one is probably the way you felt about the Trouble With The Snap game. But in this game it wasn't one play that makes you go "oh come on" it was like eight. The team looked vastly improved and Iowa's defense will probably end up as a top 15 unit. Bryce was able to integrate into the run game and take advantage of that in the passing game. The defense did everything you could ask except for some tipped passes. Underwood had two huge errors - the QB sneak and the interception. Whose fault was the interception on? Are we in an inverse Wile E. Coyote year? Bryce had ways to attack the zone that were effective, it helps that he has two NFL wide receivers. They were crushing the defense until they shot themselves in the foot. There was consistent movement from the offensive line, injuries are becoming a concern. We started seeing some real production from the running backs. These holding calls are getting ridiculous, in part because they're holds that rarely get called. They ran Kuzdzal with Bryce as the lead blocker again. They only rushed for 3.8 YPA but that's enough when you're throwing for 9.9 YPA. Hogan Hansen is alive! Hoffman looked much improved. From a Bryce standpoint we're back on track to where we wanted to be. Throw it to a Rhino at least once!

2. Defense vs Iowa

Starts at 38:22

There's not much more you could ask. There were multiple tipped catches for Iowa that are usually more likely to get picked. Hill had a little bit of a rough game. Trey Pierce dominated a lot in this game and Bobby Kanka made some nice plays. Iowa's biggest run of the game? 8 yards. There was more Staehling in this game which was nice to see. Do you want Hank Brown to make a fade on the final play? They ran press man. Iowa also ran perfect offense on the final play, what can you do. Iowa hasn't had a solid Big Ten quarterback in a minute, they have one now.

3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory

Starts at 57:47

Takes hotter than Brian on the stairs in Michigan Stadium for 20 minutes after losing to Iowa on the last play of the game. Special teams made field goals, yay. Punting was okay, not Cam Brown's best game. Are you on team "don't return kickoffs"? A lot of Iowa kickoff players were out this game. You can't give up a straight line kick return, don't squib kick it. Kirk Ferentz still doesn't know how to call a timeout to call a Hail Mary. Kirk Ferentz isn't going to suddenly decide to go for it on 4th and 1. Run Hiter inside the five yard line? The play before Michigan's 4th down that Bryce lept was spotted short. Was he supposed to do a QB sneak and made his own decision to leap it? He learned a harsh lesson and he won't do it again. Was running the ball on the final 3rd and 5 the right move or do you let Bryce go and win the game on that final drive? He has thrown picks and screwed up a QB sneak earlier. You don't assume that Iowa's offense can go 91 yards in 1:40. All of these holding plays have been on defenders who are already out of the play. Zeke Berry's personal foul - a really soft call. There should have been three seconds after John Henry Daley got hurt so Iowa didn't just get a free play.

4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac

Starts at 1:33:01

Revenge of the Big Ten West

Oregon 41, USC 27
Ban baseball slides. Desman Stephens should have played his last college football game. Sometimes you have sympathy for the defender but this was head hunting. But Dylan Raiola comes in and Nebraska fans get to watch him be a good quarterback! 19/25 for 289 yards and two touchdowns.

Indiana 29, Northwestern 23
A score that would not have been surprising three years ago. "Trophy go brrrr" -Jaime. Free Aiden Chiles! Northwestern stayed in this game by throwing to their tight ends. Indiana might only be good not great on both sides of the ball.

Wisconsin 24, Penn State 20
Penn State takes a 17 point off turnovers, but their offense got put in a locker. Was that the slowest 71 yard touch down pass you've ever seen? The Badgers are 12-4 under Luke Fickell when the expected starting QB starts and finishes a game.

Minnesota 27, Washington 24
Washington had 40 yards on 27 carries, they just can't run the ball. Washington fans are starting to turn on Jedd Fisch. Minnesota also can't run the ball, QB Drake Lindsey played alright but Washington's defense is suspicious.

Nebraska 31, Michigan State 13
Michigan State only has 257 yards of offense, turns the ball over three times, and gives up six sacks. State doesn't look badly coached, they just don't have guys this year. Milivojevic's skill position players are... Fred Moore? How real is Nebraska, actually?

UCLA 54, Maryland 3
Total yards are 475 to 181. It did take UCLA a quarter to get going. Mike Locksley might not get fired, he might just leave and see if anyone would notice. Should the next team with a coaching vacancy just hire the James Madison coach? (No, their head coach is Billy Napier). Could UCLA make it to the Michigan game with only one loss and have playoff conversations??

Lightning Round:
Rutgers 58, Howard 7
Notre Dame 49, Purdue 10
Ohio State 42, Illinois 19
