| 0:00.0 | We're here to wrap up this 2019 football season as the season concludes with Michigan losing to Alabama in the Verbo Citrus Bowl, 35 to 16. |
| 0:08.5 | Brian Bush and I will be back in just a few minutes to continue talking about what happened this football season and things to look forward to for next year, all on In the Trenches. |
| 0:18.9 | Let's go in the trenches with John Jansen. |
| 0:21.6 | The former Wolverines captain in Michigan Sports Hall of Famer will take you inside the locker room with players and coaches. |
| 0:27.6 | We're going to have a lot of great leaders in that senior class, and it's a matter of them getting back to Schembeckler Hall, continuing to watch film on what happened this year, |
