The latest episode of the “Big House Bleachers” podcast, co-hosted by Michael Smeltzer and Matt Hartwell, delves into Michigan’s recent win against Maryland, moving the team to an 11-0 record this college football season. They discuss the game where Michigan narrowly defeated Maryland 31-24, dissecting the performance of quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who, despite being banged up, contributed significantly to the victory alongside Michigan’s strong defense and running back Blake Corum.
Michael and Matt award the “Player of the Game,” also known as the “This Guy Right Here Award.” They also engage in a “Michigan Mythbusters” segment to debunk myths about the current state of Michigan football.
