Welcome back to another edition of the Wolverine.com podcast. This is our video edition with Doug Skeen, Michigan's former All-Big Ten Offensive linemen, five-time Big Ten champion. Also played for the New England Patriots, Bill Parcells, no less, and had his knee wrecked by Chester McLaughton, or he still might be playing in the league. So at 51, 51 years old. All right, probably not.

0:21.3

That might be a stretch, but, but in short, this guy knows his football.

0:25.7

And this guy had to be just absolutely loving what he was seeing on Saturday.

0:29.0

Our producer Hutch was not Penn State fan.

0:31.4

But Doug Skeen was, and I got to tell you, Skeen, that 1992 line is still one of my favorites ever.

0:37.3

These guys, the way they're playing, the way that they are bullying people are impressing the hell out of me.

0:43.3

They are, I'm telling you, top three lines that I've seen in probably 30, 40 years in terms of just flat out bullying people playing with that nasty.

1:13.2

Ohio State is really the one.

1:14.8

But look at these numbers.

1:16.2

You just had to be in heaven, man.

1:17.7

1:18.6

Well, anytime you see a defense get decimated like that and demoralized like that,

1:24.9

I mean, it was, you know, early in the third quarter, it was clear that Penn State's, you know, body language was telegraphing that we have no answer for this. We have no. Yeah. We got nothing. Hands up. We're the chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwich time, baby, because this is, we're just running out this clock. So yeah, of course I love watching every minute of that. And it ball suits,

1:45.8

why? What happened? Well, they just did some really nice fundamental blocking is what happened.

1:50.4

And the big, the big ones that we'll talk about a little bit, there's some really nice blocks on the
