Welcome back inside the Inarbor studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

So it's now time for our Tuesday check-in. Well, yesterday it was a Tuesday check-in. It was last night. And we now bring it to you here on Wednesday morning. The Tuesday check-in with the Michigan football players. Of course, the team is getting ready to head out to L.A. Their matchup with USC is coming up on Saturday night. I believe they listed the official kickoff time for 736, something like that.

But the team leaves tomorrow afternoon evening.

They will practice at the bolt, the charges facility on Friday, and then hopefully be all ready

to go and in top shape, ready for that game on Saturday night. 7.30 Eastern time, 430 Pacific.

Out at USC, Michigan versus USC. And of course, you can listen to that game with covers starting at 3.30 this Saturday with the chap onside fueling countdown and kickoff right here on the big 1050 WTK to get ready for that game. We heard from one player from the offensive side of the ball. And then we heard from a slew of players on the defensive side of the ball. We'll bring a few of those to you guys right now, starting with freshman receiver Andrew Marsh, who met with the media last night. Now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA. Sharon Moore said yesterday that you've earned yourself more snaps than potentially another starting role. I guess reaction to hearing that. I mean, something glad to hear, but really just got to keep working.

I just want to show everybody what we can do as a team and just keep getting better day by day.

Does anything been a surprise to you in your freshman year?

Just considering to come into high school and out of high school and then getting increased

playing time?

What's been a surprise about the college experience?

I would say just, there's really a lot of things.

Really just the speed of the game, I would say, is one big thing.

Just being able to go out there and adjust to the speed is a big difference.

What do you do to adjust to the speed?

Really just practice hard, practice hard.

I would say those are kind of the reps you get during the week.

We always say as a team, the effort you put in during the week is what we'll show at the end of the week.

So I always say that.

How much was early playing time pitched to you during the recruiting process? I mean, it was something we talked about. It was something we definitely talked about, but I feel like I knew, and the coaches knew it was something that was going to have to be earned, no matter what, coming in. Just somehow I would have to work for it. It wasn't just going to be handed to me. So nothing was like promised, like, oh, we'll get you this many games or snaps or anything.

No, sir.

How much did coming early, how much did that help you kind of acclimate and get to this point where you are able to play?
