Welcome to the Jolly Good Fellow podcast! In this episode, we delve into the historic clash that's set to unfold as USC visits Michigan's Big House for only the second time. These two storied programs haven't met since 2007, and with USC holding a slight edge in their all-time matchups, it's time for Michigan to break the streak.

We explore the rich history between these teams, dating back to their first meeting in 1948, and discuss the impact of conference expansion on college football rivalries. The excitement of seeing USC in the Big House is palpable, and we preview other big games like Tennessee traveling to Oklahoma.

Our focus then shifts to a deep dive into Michigan's current season, including the quarterback situation, the team's strengths and weaknesses, and what it will take to beat USC. We analyze the challenges posed by Lincoln Riley's potent offense and USC's improved defense under new coordinator Danton Lin.

Join us as we break down the "Good Wolverine, Bad Wolverine" aspects of Michigan's game plan, discuss key players like Alex Orji, and ponder whether the Wolverines can rise to the occasion. Will Michigan's defense step up? Can the offense find its rhythm? Tune in for all this and more.

Welcome to a special edition of the Jolly Good Fellow podcast! Breaking news: Alex Orji has been named the starter for this week's matchup as the USC Trojans visit the Michigan Wolverines. In this episode, we dive into what this means for the team and how it might impact their performance.

We discuss Davis Warren's recent performance against Arkansas State, where despite some offensive line issues, he threw three interceptions. The offensive scheme, dubbed the "dink and dunk and shoot," has been uninspired, leading to a call for change.

Alex Orji's entry into the game resulted in a touchdown drive, sparking hope for a more dynamic offense. While Orji has had his struggles, including a notable miss against Fresno State, his potential to bring something new to the table is exciting.

The episode explores the pros and cons of this decision, analyzing past performances and future matchups. Can Orji's legs and play-action potential rejuvenate Michigan's offense? Tune in to hear our thoughts and predictions for the upcoming game against USC.
