In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz continue their annual position group preview series with a look at the Michigan football team’s edge room. They open with a discussion of the room’s biggest strengths, including a potential All-American and one of the higher-ceiling rooms on the team. They then look at question marks for the group, including the battle for the No. 4 spot in the rotation and the Wolverines’ effort to turn developmental prospects into stars. In the second half of the episode, they look at X-factors for the room, the group’s floor and ceiling for this fall, and how success should be measured for the edge room.
