0:00.0	And welcome, folks, to another edition of the Michigan Football Breakdown,
0:04.9	focused on the defense with Vance Bedford.
0:08.9	Listen, folks, we're going early today with Vance.
0:11.8	I appreciate Brother Vance for accommodating us.
0:14.1	Same thing with our earlier, Basketball Media Day for Michigan this afternoon.
0:18.3	So I had to push everything up to make sure that we got things in coming off the bye week,
0:23.0	but wanted to get some reaction to some of the big time action around the Big Ten.
0:29.2	I don't know a van spent a lot of time watching that USC matchup with Illinois since that's going to be the next opponent.
0:35.4	But let's start off, next opponent after Wisconsin anyway. We want to start off with welcoming my brother Vance to the show. Vance, how you doing? I'm doing fantastic.

1:39.2	end. There's some bad cause. But I give Ohio State some credit. Defensively, they were able
1:43.1	to corral that team and won that one pretty handily.
1:47.4	But the game I was most surprised by out of all of them was USC at Illinois, Vance,
1:55.2	because setting the stage for folks who didn't watch the week before, I mean,
