Sam Webb 101 with sophomore linebacker Cole Sullivan now here on the Michigan Insider on the

Big 1050 WTK.

It's interesting to look at you guys' journey on the field last year.

It had its share of twists and turns, but you guys stayed together and got a chance to really spend time

with the coaches and Coach Moore kind of reflected upon this. He said, you know, the belief,

even when you guys are losing, there was this belief that kind of never wavered. And that's

why the team was able to endure at the end of the season and win those games at the end.

Can you kind of go back as a player on the team at that time and kind of take me inside of how that

belief was able to endure even when things weren't necessarily ending the way you guys wanted

them to end on the field?

Yeah, definitely. I mean, I know after our first few losses, a lot of, a lot of people in the media

and all of this, they were writing us off saying, might not win another game. Like, they're just

counting us all the way out. It might not make a bowl, all these things. But I know we, we had multiple times where we were looking at each other, like, you know,

that's not us.

That's not what we all came to Michigan to win.

Like we all know our capabilities and we just have to believe in ourselves and believe in each other.

And, you know, then just come out fighting.
