Josh On Michigan
“Five unit pick on Michigan.”
“This is the opportunity to get some of the highest quality film you can possibly get where you could shop yourself around after the season.”
“I give all the credit in the world to Ohio State and Michigan because they have maintained this.”
“That's why I think it's the best rivalry in college football because you could cut that stuff with a knife up there.”
