Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Wolverine 24-7 podcast, your audio source for all things,

0:04.3

Michigan football, basketball, and recruiting. I'm your host, Zach Shaw. Steve Lentz here with me.

0:09.1

We are talking Michigan versus Rutgers. The Wolverines moved to four and O on the season.

0:14.6

What an O in Big Ten play with a 31 to 7 win over the Scarlet Knights.

0:20.7

Steve, what have I been telling you all season on these podcasts?

0:23.7
