ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Michigan football defense has looked completely different in 2021 than in recent years, and the credit goes to both the players as well as new defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald.

Sure, there have been some mistakes here and there, but given what the defense looked like in 2020, they’re few and far between rather than on nearly every snap.

On Wednesday, Macdonald shared what he likes about the state of the defense, what he’s liked, how his philosophy has evolved and more.

Here is everything he had to say about his unit with Penn State coming up on Saturday.
