Michigan football's game against USC was the "pendulum swing" game of the year, but unfortunately for U-M fans, the season swung in the wrong way.

If Michigan wants to get back into the College Football Playoff conversation, it'll probably have to be perfect from here. That starts this week with a big matchup against a Washington team that'll provide a lot of matchup problems for the Wolverines. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing what went wrong for Michigan on the road at USC and what Sherrone Moore's team must fix before Washington.

Michigan football decided to take the training wheels off freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood in Week 3 against Central Michigan and it paid immediate dividends. A week after the offense struggled mightily against Oklahoma on the road, the Wolverines compiled 625 yards of total offense as Underwood passed for 235 yards and rushed for 114 more. Needless to say, the Wolverine won't be "taking the air out of the ball ever again, not with this guy and taking snaps," according to acting head coach Biff Poggi. Andrew and Tony open the show by discussing the lessons learned from the Central Michigan blowout victory, and then play a game of "overreaction/underreaction/proper reaction" from Michigan football's first three weeks.

Then after a quick break, the guys talk all things Nebraska and a fun matchup against sophomore Dylan Raiola, the son of former Detroit Lions offensive lineman Dominic Raiola. Will the lessons learned from Week 3 be enough to pull off a tough road victory?
