Tweets Of The Day
A look at all 59 of Michigan’s touchdowns in the regular season. The Wolverines finished the regular season 12-0 for the second straight season, the first time they’ve been undefeated two years in a row.
Appearing on the Inside Michigan Football radio show this week, strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert discussed how the Wolverines have been prepared for dealing with distractions, and how that preparation has paid off with all that this season has dealt them.
“You know what’s funny is there are circumstances that we’ll create in the offseason to simulate, and you always want the simulation to carry over to real life,” Herbert said of Michigan’s training. “Now, there are times when, like I tell our guys, we may not be blessed with this adversity. And remember, I say we may not be ‘blessed.’ It’s a blessing, this adversity is a blessing to us all — and I want them to see it like that.
“But I’ll never forget, you find out on the plane at Penn State and I’m coming down the stairs. There are some people standing at the bottom. I was talking to a few people, and then I see some guys coming down the stairs. I’m just looking, I look right in their eyes, and they just give me this smirk, this little smile. And I’m just smiling back, just a subtle smile. And we just know.

“I’m sitting with some guys at dinner that night, and we just got this grin on our face because we’ve been blessed with this opportunity, what people call adversity — this uncomfortable, potentially detrimental, circumstance that now we get to overcome. And it’s an incredible opportunity, and then to go and do what we’ve done, there’s no better lesson learned that will pay dividends for us with the young men in this program in the future. It’s just incredible.”
