Interesting article in The Athletic by Max Olson "Michigan missing pieces: 5 Newcomers who helped lift Michigan to to the CFP title game". Of course, Drake Nugent is one of the 5 newcomers written about. The quote of Nugent in the article is telling "Nugent started all 14 games at center, earned the respect of league coaches as a first-team All-Big Ten selection and is a Rimington Award finalist. He jokes that it was fairly surreal to experience and enjoy a Rose Bowl victory given where he’d been, enduring Stanford losses “in front of 15,000 fans.” What did it take to prove he belonged? “All you’ve gotta do is just go in and work your balls off,” he said."
