Wolverine TV podcast: Postgame reactions to blowout win over Purdue
The Michigan Wolverines fought through the noise around the program on Saturday night and blew out Purdue by a score of 41-13 in Ann Arbor. Coming off of a long bye week, shaking off the rust was needed and the Wolverines largely took care of their business.
The Wolverine’s Anthony Broome and former Michigan defensive lineman Ryan Van Bergen broke down the lopsided win for Michigan.
”I think it presented the opportunity to circle the wagons and try to rally yourselves around the negativity that’s being thrown your way because everything that is being “leaked” and that has kind of been mainstream whether it’s fact or not has been damaging to the resume and the reputation of this team,” Van Bergen said.
“And you watch a football game unfold. And regardless of what may or may not be true, none of that has anything to do with how many times or how much or how many scores the defense has given up so far this year and how many turnovers they’ve created and not having any penalties and some of the different things that this team is able to do and these players have been able to do is being overshadowed by what could be fact could be fiction cloud that has been generated over the last two weeks.
“So it gives you an opportunity as a player to say, ‘Hey, guys, put the phones away, delete the app, whatever you want to do. But listening to this isn’t going to get us to where our goals are. Our goals this year are still all out in front of us. There’s nothing we can do to control what’s going to happen if anything is to happen.’

“So there’s no point in focusing on that. Let’s focus on us. Let’s focus on getting better and let’s focus on what we came here to do. And I feel like this was a good game to come out off of a bye week, knock some rust off and get ready for some big dustups that we’ve been looking forward to this year.”
