Talk about going to Michigan this weekend…
“We’re looking forward to this weekend. I feel like Michigan is a place I run well and the team runs well. My team is a lot of the same group that won there with Ty (Gibbs) last year, so I have a lot of confidence that we can go there and run up front to try to repeat that success.”
