Michigan quote of the day
“I’ve been looking to work on my base and on footwork things to eliminate some false movements. I’m building towards that still. I think overall, just what I’m doing for the team, as far as treating my leadership has changed. I think I have a new role this season even more. And also from a playing standpoint, we’re coming up with some concepts. Some new guys are gonna be filling different roles. And I think my chemistry has been building with those guys.”
