Michigan football defensive coordinator Don Brown is already a pretty enthusiastic guy.

His defense's performance against Army this past weekend fired him up even more.

The Wolverines held the Black Knights to just 243 yards, their lowest total since 2017. Army averaged 3.7 yards per play and 3.3 yards per rush, lowest since 2015. And Michigan forced three turnovers — the most Army has had since 2017.
