Michigan quote of the day
I felt like Persi played pretty good. The protection on him, he came off the ball and ran off the ball well. He’s an experienced go so I was happy to see that. I thought TJ Guy played really, really good. He was the back foot a lot. Obviously, Jyaire had a great pick, and he’s steadily progressing and getting better and better and better. Aamir made some big plays. So, I thought those guys picked up the slack a bit, some really good things. We’ll see how those guys do next week.
