Rise to the Victors: Football is finally here
Football is finally here.
Welcome to Rise to the Victors, your daily start with Michigan sports on the Blue By 90 network with Trevor McCue and Darnell Porter.
On the final Friday without Michigan Football, Trevor and Darnell look back at one of the strangest offseasons in program history — and how months of chaos eventually gave way to something Michigan desperately needed under Kyle Whittingham: calm.
The coaching staff was rebuilt. The roster stayed together. Spring football came and went. Michigan worked through summer and fall camp without another crisis. Whittingham has spent the last several months establishing exactly what he wants his program to become.
Now we finally get to see it.
