Alex Orji has often drawn comparisons to that of Jalen Milroe from Alabama. So, with that in mind, how do the Crimson Tide deploy Milroe in terms of running and passing? What do his stats look like? We use much of how Milroe was deployed to figure out a good strategy and blueprint for Michigan football vs. USC and moving forward.Then, we delve into advanced analytics, from PFF's grading to ESPN's SP+ predictive model to look at how different metrics (offense, defense, and special teams) compare between Michigan, USC, and even looking back to Texas and where it stands for comparison.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

Sherrone Moore made the switch from Davis Warren to Alex Orji at starting quarterback on Monday and despite potential limitations in Orji's accuracy throwing the ball, we think (even if he is stellar throwing the ball) that the Wolverines need to take a page out of the 2021-23 strategy: RUN THE DANG FOOTBALL WITH IMPUNITY!We get into USC's defense and what its limitations might be alongside with how LSU and Utah State played the Trojans. And we delve back into the 2021 season and looked at the ratio of running and passing and why having a running quarterback at the helm may be a Godsend -- if the staff is smart about it.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

We were going to spend much of Monday's episode discussing what needs to happen while lamenting the unlikelihood of the staff making the necessary changes but Sherrone Moore bucked the trend by announcing on Monday afternoon that Alex Orji has been named the starting quarterback for Michigan football against USC.We delve into what that means for the offense, other changes we would make contra what we've seen in the first three weeks, and more. We also touch on the defensive performance against Arkansas State and why it was mostly good but does still give us concerns with the Trojans coming to town this week.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

Michigan football has what shouldn't be a big game in Week 3 against Arkansas State, but given how the Wolverines have looked each of the past two games, we need to see a lot of improvement and fast. What the betting odds on FanDuel suggests, what needs to happen in this one in terms of players who need to step up, coaching, schematic changes, and more. Then our final game prediction.Before we even get to all of that, we eulogize a great man, Greg Harden, who passed away on Friday.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

On Wednesday, new Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore finally signed his executed contract but was that really a big deal considering he signed a memorandum of understanding back in the winter? No, but because it's Michigan, it became a big deal, because the narratives are all that matters, and the narratives must always paint the Wolverines as villainous, inept, or both. We get into that as well as rival media claiming things that almost certainly aren't true, and we explain why we don't believe a second of it.Then, we move onto the offense and what we need to see start happening in these upcoming weeks. Why Donovan Edwards in the pass game is a must, among other things.And what should we expect from the Michigan defense against Arkansas State? Why, regardless of the playmakers the Red Wolves have, it should be a much more solid performance in Week 3.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

The eye test says Michigan football desperately needs more quarterback production and that's somewhat true statistically, but when it comes to execution, perhaps we're being much too hard on first-year starter Davis Warren.We take a look at Warren's PFF grades through Week 2 and compare those to the other 17 starting quarterbacks in the Big Ten. And it turns out, things are not quite as bad as they feel after the pummeling by Texas. Where he's OK, where he needs to improve, and more using advanced analytics.Then, we turn the page back to Arkansas State and what its defense has done thus far. Here's what we need to see from Warren and the Michigan offense to feel comfortable heading into the Week 4 showdown with USC.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!

We're still troubled by what we saw on the field against Texas, made all the worse by what we saw in Week 1 against Fresno State. Thus, the Week 3 game against Arkansas State is the most crucial game of the season because it's the inflection point that will tell us if the Wolverines are capable of winning big games down the stretch.We get into that, why we're troubled by some PR things and the fact that we've heard little from leadership. Will hubris sink this edition of the Michigan Wolverines? We start to look more closely at the Red Wolves and what we must see this week if Michigan is going to turn its season around.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!
