Marquette wasn’t able to win either scrimmage in Ann Arbor, Michigan this weekend, falling 15-13 to Michigan and 11-5 to Denison.
“I think the biggest thing for them is that they’ve got to play like the same team we’ve been, and that’s a team that’s trying to prove ourselves,” said Marquette head coach Joe Amplo. “Not that we played with the assumption we were going to be good on Saturday, but it certainly looked like it.”
Amplo isn’t going to panic, as the Golden Eagles lost handily to Michigan last year and turned out just fine. Their greatest growth will happen in the first three weeks, and this was just the first step.
