Welcome back to another edition of the Ballas and Skeen Show, part of the Wolverine.com podcast series.

My name is Chris Ballas with me five-time Big Ten champion, Doug Steen.

Got your rings out, man?

I think I told you to bring your rings out this time, no?

Oh, I didn't.

I don't have them.

They're in a safe somewhere or in that golden silver pawn shop in Las Vegas.

No, no reason to add, Doug Skeen is Mr. Successful. He's doing a great job of his career post-football

and NFL player as well with the New England Patriots. So this guy knows a little something

about offensive line play, and we're going to talk about it here. Just getting over the Rona, guys. So bear with me if my voice isn't what it used to be. I've got some chap lips here. I got some chapped of nose. It's been a rough weekend. I haven't missed a game in a long time skiing. And that was tough. It was tough to watch on TV knowing I should have been there for that beatdown. The most impressive win of the year for Michigan by far. Well, before we get into that, I'm curious. Yes. For a guy that goes to all the games, you're always there, you're in the press box. What's it like to watch a game like the rest of us fans on television?

How'd you like that? I hate it. I'll be honest. There's something about being there. And it's two things. Everybody says, oh, man, you get to sit in the press box and how awesome is that. Two things about that. You're behind glass, so it's sterile, right? You can't say anything. You can't yell. You can't, you know, and it hasn't stopped me a couple times.

John Borton has had to call me down at Notre Dame games, which we made me. I've heard, I've heard Karsh. I've heard Karsh has to walk down the hall and check on you at times. Yeah, he says that. That's not true. But, yeah, usually they're just messing with my placard and making short jokes or something

on there he and john jansen who are by the way are doing a fantastic job as the mission play-by-play

team so but it sucks to be to know you know to see it and to have been there in that environment

there's just nothing like being at an opposing stadium on game day like you know you love to love to go in there. You say park the tanks, let's go in there and kick some ass. And that's exactly what they did, man. So you had to be impressed, especially with the offensive line play right from the get-go. It looked like somebody to find the head opponent that got their attention. Yeah, yeah. So there's always something exciting about going on the road for the first time,

and you get to go with your teammates, and you're going into a pretty rowdy atmosphere there at Nebraska.

And so that didn't surprise me.

The team came together, and this is a continuation of the last two seasons under Coach Harbaugh,

where they finally figured out how to go on the road, embrace the atmosphere, take ownership,

and park the tanks, and just take over.

And that's what the Michigan offense did in the first part of that game.

They're cracking off successful runs, running the football, throwing the football,
