Michigan quote of the day
“There are certain college football programs that are built like NFL programs. Alabama is one, and Michigan is the other one. The two top ones, I would say. Those are the ones I’m thinking of off the top of my head. So those guys generally come in and they know what to expect. It’s a little flatter for those guys in terms of practice and understanding how it works.”
