00:02 >> Yeah, so the play on the field, yeah, I lost where the ball was.

00:09 First thought it was on the ground, he was just scooping it up,

00:14 could have been a fumble and our guys are trained in practice.

00:19 If the ball's ever on the ground, we're hopping on that mistake or

00:23 trying to pick it up and advance it.

00:25 Even on incompleted passes in practice, our guys are picking them up.

00:31 Mikey, it was an incredible play.

00:35 When I got to see it from the different angles, the way he kept his feet.

00:41 First, the ball skills, which he has tremendous ball skills.

00:45 The athleticism, the balance, I mean, we do the slack block control.

00:52 He's really good at it.

00:55 Cornelius Johnson's really good at it.

00:57 Saw Cornelius show up in the Ohio State game last year when he was

01:02 normal, average athlete, human being would have fallen down.

01:09 Same thing with Mike, it would have been on the ground.

01:12 But for him to stay up and then get into making the moves he did and

01:19 then take it back to the crib, as the young people like to say,

01:23 that was just a beautiful, beautiful thing.

01:28 His leadership, I mean, it's constant.

01:31 He just affects everybody he comes in contact with in a positive way.

01:37 I'm sure you see the same thing that we do.

01:42 Loved by the players, loved by the coaches.

01:45 And it's great to see him.

01:49 He's already a Michigan legend, right?

01:52 And to see him continuing to add to that, it's just a beautiful thing.

01:58 Wonderful, wonderful thing.
