Summary

(0:00-0:40) Intro (0:41-5:37) Michigan at Big Ten Media Days (5:38-19:19) Donovan Edwards at Big Ten Media Days (19:20-27:06) Dan Lannign at Big Ten Media Days (27:07-34:06) Oregon LB Jeffrey Bassa joins the show (34:07-50:19) Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch Joins (50:20-57:52) Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti Joins (57:53-58:37) Conclusion - See you next week! With all the talk about Ohio State’s offseason roster moves and Oregon’s entry into the Big Ten, it’s easy to forget that the Big Ten also is home to the defending national champs. Michigan visited Big Ten Media Days on Thursday and offered a reminder that while the Wolverines lost a lot of great players to the NFL, the cupboard isn’t bare. One potential breakout star is Donovan Edwards, who struggled through a disappointing 2023 season before exploding for 104 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries in the national title game win against Washington. Edwards talked Thursday about how he got through last season and how much he’s grown ahead of this season. Next, Andy breaks down Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s discussion of recruiting. Oregon has a big NIL war chest, but not an unlimited one. But does it bother Lanning that his recruiting success is credited to NIL deals when recruiting wins at Georgia or Ohio State are credited differently? After that, Oregon linebacker Jeffrey Bassa discusses the huge expectations for the Ducks. Then we look at the other side of the Oregon-Washington rivalry as new Huskies coach Jedd Fisch joins Andy to talk about rebuilding a team that won’t look anything like the one that played for a national title. Andy is then joined by another first-year coach — Indiana’s Curt Cignetti. Cignetti won big at James Madison, and he’s loaded the Hoosiers’ roster with veteran transfers who played well at the Group of 5 level. Will that method produce a quick start at a place not known for winning football? Want to watch the show instead? Join us M-F, LIVE, at 8 am et on YouTube! Host: Andy Staples Producer: River Bailey

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three Big Ten meaty days wrapped up on Thursday.
0:12.8	And it was interesting because we spent so much time talking about the new teams,
0:17.2	talking about USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington joining the conference. And Oregon and Washington
0:22.2	were in Indianapolis on Thursday to talk about their upcoming seasons. But there was another team
0:28.8	prominently featured Thursday. And I feel like we've almost forgotten them, but they shouldn't
0:35.7	be forgotten. The defending national champions, the Michigan Wolverines.
0:40.1	Look, I know we talked about the Connors Stallions documentary earlier,
0:43.3	but let's talk about this team right now.
0:46.8	Sharon Moore taking over for Jim Harbaugh,
0:50.2	some really good players coming back.
0:52.6	But I feel like they've been lost in the discussion of Ohio State and Oregon and our expectations for the Buckeyes and the Ducks, which are founded.
1:03.6	They're justified.
1:04.5	Like, Ohio State looks like the best roster in the country.
1:07.6	They look like a team that should compete for the national title, but they still have to beat Michigan. And of course, they got the questions when they were here on Tuesday
1:14.5	about, are you going to be able to break the streak against Michigan? But it's almost like Michigan's
1:21.5	an idea rather than a team they have to play because this Michigan team obviously is going to be really different than
1:28.9	the Michigan team we saw winning the national title. By the way, the team they beat Washington
1:33.0	also going to be really different. We're going to talk to Jed Fish, the new Washington coach,
1:37.9	later in the show, just about how different the Huskies are going to look. But Michigan,
1:43.9	there's some familiar faces.
1:47.0	Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, Will Johnson.
1:49.7	I will venture those are three first round draft picks next year,
