ANN ARBOR -- There have been well-documented changes to the Michigan football program the past year.
There's a new coach (Rich Rodriguez), a new staff and a new offensive philosophy, but U-M defensive tackle Terrance Taylor wants to make one thing clear.
"It's still smash-mouth," Taylor said of the defense's approach. "It's still Michigan football. I'm going to put my helmet in your face."
On the cusp of the Big Ten season, with ninth-ranked Wisconsin (3-0) and its bruising offense coming to Michigan Stadium on Saturday, Taylor said the Michigan defenders, particularly the linemen, are looking forward to the opportunity to showcase their ability to stuff the run.
"I feel that's going to be the game to show everybody that what we did over the summer was a plan, not a joke, that all the stuff we did wasn't for nothing, that we are Michigan," Taylor said.
The Badgers also are smash-mouth.
