Chase Winovich said he was confused Saturday night after Michigan’s 24-17 loss at Notre Dame. The senior defensive end wasn’t sure how the the Wolverines lost, and said he didn’t feel as if the Fighting Irish dominated.

Monday afternoon, two of Winovich’s teammates offered more clarity.

Junior defensive end Rashan Gary and junior ‘viper’ linebacker Khaleke Hudson agreed Michigan’s struggles on defense were “self-inflicted wounds.”

“Talking about the first half, like I said, I think we hurt ourselves more than they hurt us,” Gary said.
