00:00Oh, I mean, I don't know.
00:02I don't think I've been a part of,
00:05maybe I've played the Mac once, maybe.
00:10Maybe a game against the Mac, maybe.
00:13I'm not even, not sure.
00:16So we never played the Mac when I was at Arizona.
00:20We didn't play anyone in the Mac,
00:22I think when I was at Michigan for those two.
00:23I don't know if I've ever played a team in the Mac.
00:25So I would say that it seems like good hard-nosed football.
00:30The athletic director at Bowling Green is in the Mac.
00:32He was our senior associate AD at Arizona.
00:38So I followed Bowling Green football
00:40and they've done a really good job.
00:41And I think there's some really good programs there,
00:44really good teams, Northern Illinois head coach,
00:46Thomas Hammock and I coached together.
00:48So I've kept track of them.
00:50There's good football.
00:51It's good, tough, hard-nosed football.
00:55And we've got to match that.
00:58Hammock, do you expect to have the same amount of rotation
01:00that you had in the offensive line this Saturday
01:02that you had in the opener?
01:04Yeah, I would think so.
01:05I would think it'd be very similar to that
01:08in terms of who's mixing and matching at center,
01:12mixing and matching at guard, mixing and matching at tackle.
01:16I would expect us to continue to do that.
01:18And I'm not so sure that won't happen all season long.
01:21I think we're right now in a spot
01:22where we've got seven for five
01:25and just like we have three for two safeties
01:28or just like we have three for two at corner
01:32with EJ, Thad and Efe.
01:34I mean, these guys are just getting rotated
01:36because they should get rotated
01:37and that's what we'll continue to do as of now.
