ANN ARBOR, Mich. — While this year’s edition of the Michigan football vs. Wisconsin game is focused more on how the Wolverines’ run game will fare against the No. 1 run defense in the country, the annual battle between the Badgers and the maize and blue tends to center on the UW run game.

This year, Michigan will see a heavy dose of Chez Mellusi, the Clemson transfer, and it will be up to the defensive line to be the first line of defense. Additionally, Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz has been a turnover machine, so if the Wolverines can get pressure, that can continue, despite Michigan only having two turnovers through four games.

On Wednesday, Michigan defensive line coach Shaun Nua met with the media to discuss the state of the Wolverines defensive line. Here is everything he had to say about his unit and the Badgers.
