Everything Jesse Minter said about the Michigan football defense before MSU

This was an incredible interview. #GoBlue

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan football has had some big tests already this season on either side of the ball, but it’ll be a different matter entirely on Saturday when rival Michigan State comes to town.

While the Spartans aren’t exactly thriving at the moment, considering that they’re desperate and it’s a rivalry game, theoretically, anything can happen. We’ve seen lesser rivals take down bigger favorites in years past, all across the sport.

This iteration of the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy will be Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter’s first. On Wednesday, he shared his thoughts on the defense as a whole, MSU, and much more.

Here is everything he had to say at his weekly press conference.
