The quarterback situation takes center stage as we discuss Michigan's addition of transfer Jake Garcia. Is this a strategic move to support five-star recruit Bryce Underwood? We also highlight recruiting wins for Wisconsin and Indiana, before ranking the conference's best football helmets for fun! Does Michigan's classic winged design deserve the top spot?
