Michigan Wolverines defensive coordinator Jesse Minter wasn’t deeply ingrained in the Michigan-MSU rivalry upon entering the program; the closest connection he had to it before this year was through Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
What Minter does have, however, is hours upon hours of game film. And with the Wolverines on a two-game losing streak to the Spartans, he’s sifted through each and every frame of it with a fine tooth comb.
“Oh yeah,” Minter said with a chuckle about watching 2021’s film. “A few times.”
It’s no secret those within Schembechler Hall are working overtime in their quest to bring the Paul Bunyan Trophy back to Ann Arbor.
