Can We PLEASE Give OPTIMISM a Try?! Michigan Podcast #316

Steve Deace injects some (what he says is) MUCH-NEEDED optimism on this week's Michigan Podcast! After a gritty 31-20 win over Michigan State, Steve pushes back on the fanbase's meltdown. Context matters: Michigan is 6-2 with a true freshman QB, three redshirt freshmen on the O-line, and no playable tackles left. They just beat Sparty on the road with 80 points in two straight trips to East Lansing, the most since the early 80s. Joined by Mark Rogers of The Voice of College Football, they break down Bryce Underwood's growth, the flattened parity of CFB, and why this team is exactly where it should be.
