Colston Loveland announced that he is leaving Michigan now present another significant issue for…
Michigan tight end Colston Loveland is one of the most reliable targets for the Wolverine offense, but he notes that there are plenty of weapons to choose from. Meeting with the media on Saturday, Loveland discussed his thoughts on the upcoming matchup with Washington, and what he expects to see from the Huskies defense.
Q. What are your overall thoughts on being here in this atmosphere, how’s the turnaround been from last game to this game of being in a shorter week than having a full month with Alabama.
COLSTON LOVELAND: Yeah, it’s been, I mean honestly, a blessing just to be here. This is what I’ve always dreamed of and prayed for, and glad we came out with the tight, tight win last weekend. But like you said, it is a quick turnaround, but we’ve been preparing all week, still preparing, obviously. Got a lot of work to go but looking forward to it for sure.
Q. What was it like to have Monday night celebration and a quick turn around?
COLSTON LOVELAND: I mean, we flew back Monday night right after the game, so you know, kind of reminisced on the plane ride with all the guys, but then it was right back to work. We know this is what we’ve been chasing all season. So, you know, like you said, it’s not finished yet, but yeah. The preparation has been great this week.
Q. What have you seen in Washington’s defensive backs, and what have you been able to put together? How do you think they’re going to work together on Monday?
COLSTON LOVELAND: Yeah. They’re obviously a great team, very well-coached, kind of always where they need to be. But, you know, I think we got a great game plan: Just do what we do normally. You know, we’re gonna run the ball, we’re gonna throw the ball, but just, I think, the big thing for us is just making sure we’re perfect on every alignment, assignments, every play. And make sure to have no MA’s, and I think that will do good things for us.
Q. And Mason Graham has been, during his teleconference, compared Washington to 2021 Ohio State. Do you see Washington and in any comparison to any other teams, or do you think that’s a good comparison what he said?
COLSTON LOVELAND: Yeah, I’d say that’s a pretty good comparison for sure. They got some lethal receivers for sure on offense and quarterback on offense. And so yeah, I’d say, as far as the offensive side, yeah, I would say pretty similar.
