Wolverine TV podcast: Postgame reactions to 52-10 blowout win at Minnesota
The Michigan Wolverines sent another major message on Saturday night, this time in a primetime drubbing of the Minnesota Golden Gophers by a score of 52-10. It was their most explosive complete team effort of the season as they continue to round into championship form.
TheWolverine.com’s Anthony Broome and former Michigan defensive lineman Ryan Van Bergen discussed the win, where it was another tangible step forward for a group looking to hit its stride.
”I think you’re seeing the improvement week to week, and that’s something that when we had these first three ‘preseason’ games that we had, we weren’t sure if we were seeing any improvement because we weren’t seeing big disparities on the scoreboard or huge explosive numbers in the stats column,” Van Bergen said.
“Two road wins in a row back-to-back and going into Minnesota in a night game environment, playing four good quarters of football. Were there some things that we needed to clean up? Sure. But I think we made some really good halftime adjustments to attack them in ways that they, I mean, you got to give PJ Fleck and their staff some credit. They came out with their best game plan and executed it probably the best that they could minus the turnovers, especially the one early, but they were just outmatched. Michigan showed tonight more than anything that at all 11 positions and even their backups were solid. And we’ve got more depth than we’ve ever had.
“I thought you saw that a lot more this week on display, especially when it came to the defensive line. On defense, we finally have everybody healthy, so you can kind of see what the mechanism is like when you have all personnel units ready to roll. This is what you want to see. We could easily be sitting here tonight talking about, ‘Oh, my God, how did we escape that?’ Thank God. We could be that team. But that’s not what this team is. And they just seem to get better week in and week out. They’ve just shown that sign of maturity that you were hoping to see. So things are getting pretty exciting as we get midway through the season.”
