michigan -- we will also carry the michigan-ohio state game at noon. willie taggart's team continues to get ready for ucf. this has been by all accounts a very good season. perhaps part of the reason why is that this team took on the character and the discipline of its coach. >> i think for me personally that's just kind of been my life, my struggle, just believing in yourself and not give up and good things will happen for when things didn't necessarily go right, you never waver, never quit. just be th one that perseveres knowing that better days are ahead as long as you keep working. . >> we're back in a minute and change. closed captioning is brought to you by lakeland
