A super mature + candid assessment of where Michigan is at from RB and captain Jordan Marshall: "I’m confident in saying that I think we’re a better team than both of the past teams we played, but we have not performed that way. And for me, I think the scary thing is that I don’t know how to respond because I’m so used to having all the answers, and it just doesn’t … these things that we’re doing don’t show up at practice. So it’s new to me to see these things, and I’m just like I don’t know how to fully grasp it. All I can say is, ‘Guys, let’s go! Like, strap it up! We have to go! Like, it’s time to go!’ "Everybody has to look at their self in the mirror, and I’ve said this more than once, but we have to be more connected. I don’t know. We have to be more connected outside the building, in the building. It has to all come together, and we’re playing as parts right now. "The offense will drive, then we’ll just stall out. Then we’re leaving our defense out there. Then we’ll have a stupid mistake on special teams, and all these mistakes add up. Whether they’re consecutive or they’re spread out, they add up over time. "I think that’s what’s getting us out there on the field. Those mistakes add up, and everybody’s looking at each other like, ‘This doesn’t happen in practice.’ And a practice has to be a game rep. Every single rep has to be a game rep, and it needs to be like that every single day."
