CHICAGO
-- Given that the strength of the Michigan football team is reportedly the defensive line, and that defensive tackle Trey Pierce is a Chicago native, it was fitting that he was one of three Wolverines who made the trip to the Windy City to represent the maize and blue for Big Ten media days.
Pierce had a lot to say about the state of the team, the new-look defense, his unit, what he's going up against in the offense, and more.
WolverinesWire was on hand and captured nearly seven minutes of his 30-minute appearance on video.
