Welcome back inside the Inarbor studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the Big 1050.com. It is now time for our opportunity to go back to Michigan football from yesterday. As we had our Michigan Monday with the Michigan football team, we heard from head coach Sharon Moore. We heard from Captain Offensive Guard, Gio Al-Hadi. So we'll start things off this morning with the head coach. Here is Sharon Moore from yesterday now here on the Michigan Insider on the big 1050 WTK.

Obviously, Blake Fraser's first extended opportunity on Saturday. Can you kind of detail

his progression to get to this point? Yeah, really proud of him. Really proud of, you know,

the player he's become. And, you know, having those extra old linemen reps are huge you know we've

really done that the past years of getting young guys time to play or getting another guy that

we feel that could be a starter or a guy that's going to play um extra rep so you've seen the

progression obviously gained the way i think he came in at like 255 or something like that 2.45 and

about 300 now so uh having a guy like that, 245 and about 300 now.

So having a guy like that ready to go was huge and played well.

Got some things to fix, as we all do, but definitely stepped up at a time needed.

And have you been able to identify any trends in regards to the fourth down struggles this year?

No, we've got to execute.

There's, you know, the one away from the student section.

We lost a block else it might be a touchdown and then the drop.

You know, we dropped the ball. So, you know, we've got to fix that as a team and a unit, and we will. And I'll have Chris. What, what do you have practice a second? Yeah, you know, it wasn't as bad as we thought. I think we'll have them, I think we'll have him back sooner than later. So we'll see. We'll just take a week by week. And then what's the where the backup at this point, though? Yeah, so, you know, Blake will start, and then Brady Norton will also play some tackle as well. He's played that before in his career. So we always have that plan, and we'll move guys around accordingly. On the right, Aaron? Did you speak to the emotion of Michigan State Week? And you've got Henry Wallster.

Yeah. Some guys that they got from the state, what's the education like for the team? Oh, well, you know, we, during training camp, we talk about our rivalries. We talk about every game. We talk about all the big games. But, you know, they'll definitely re-educate them on what this means. This means a lot. This means everything. We'll talk about Paul Bunyan what that means to us here in this facility in Ann Arbor and the University of

Michigan. We'll talk about the history of the rivalry, what it means, and all the implications

of what, you know, winning this game is about. So we'll definitely educate our young guys and let them know that this is a game we put everything into.

Do you remember your first introduction of the Michigan-Mishian state robbery?

Yeah.

That's pretty intense.

It's 2018.
