“I think the coaching staff does a really good job there, especially with the little details,” Ozolua told SpartanMag.com’s Jason Killop. “They are making sure they get everything right. It was made an emphasis that they want to stop the run, especially in the Big Ten, so that is what they focused on. Saturday was more of a scrimmage day, so we got to see a lot of live action.”
