Episode Details

Michigan had been flirting with disaster for weeks. Against Iowa, it finally caught up with the Wolverines. In the latest Michigan Insider Postgame Recap, Sam Webb Josh Newkirk dissect a gut-wrenching 20-19 loss in which penalties, missed opportunities, and an inability to finish overwhelmed some of Michigan's most encouraging football of the season. Bryce Underwood delivered arguably his best performance yet; the offensive line moved Iowa's highly regarded defense for much of the game — but eight penalties, a costly special-teams breakdown, and squandered chances kept the Hawkeyes alive. Then Michigan failed to put the game away late and watched its defense surrender a stunning 91-yard game-winning drive. The TMI crew breaks down the mistakes that turned a winnable game into a crushing loss, the progress they can build on, and the discipline problems that will keep it from happening if they aren't corrected soon.
