Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Wolverine.com's postgame show on a morose, sad, disappointing Michigan football evening here.

Michigan goes out to Los Angeles and loses 31 to 13 against the USC Trojans.

And I'm going to be honest, just be up front here.

You know, I see my colleagues out there last night.

They're tweeting out and sending out Instagrams from Manhattan Beach.

You see the pictures from the press box.

And it's a beautiful picturesque day for Big Ten football out in Los Angeles.

I didn't make the trip this time around.

Decided not to just because that's how it worked out this time.

I was feeling a little jealous, though.

It looked beautiful out there.

And then the game happened.

And for all that's been made about,

Ryan and I have come on here the last few weeks.

And of course,

I am joined by former Michigan defensive lineman Ryan Van Bergen.

We'll get to him in just a moment.

But we've talked about the last few weeks where we've seen bits and pieces of really

good things, but it hasn't all come together yet.

And that happens when you have a young football team, particularly on the offensive

side of the ball.

And when that does happen, the only thing that matters is do you get better week to week?
