Now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA. What did you see on the last play? |
| 0:40.3 | In the last play? |
| 0:41.3 | Yes. |
| 0:42.3 | I don't know. |
| 0:43.3 | I was just focused to talk with all my teammates and try to get match that I didn't even |
| 0:52.3 | see the last play. So I don't know what to say. |
| 0:59.3 | Elliot, maybe you know what it feels like to be, like, that guard who was driving the line |
