The first of four goals that Jim Harbaugh set out at Big Ten Media Days was attained tonight.

That was a victory over Michigan State.

29 to 7 in the big house.

We'll get a chance to continue to break this down tonight.

You're going to hear from coach, from players, and from Brian Bush and I.

Welcome to the official podcast of Michigan Football, in the trenches with John Jansen, presented

here's John Jansen.

And they did it by understanding who they are and playing to their identity.

They were physical up front on both sides of the ball.
