Get acquainted with Nathan Scheelhaase

Scheelhaase is eager for his dad's critique after practice.

"I ask him how the practices went. He tells me what he saw. He was fortunate enough to play in a Rose Bowl. His senior year they played in the '86 Rose Bowl against UCLA. Man, that's a goal I want to shoot for. Maybe we can get a win there.

"I've watched a ton of his film from playing in Michigan, all different things. He knows this conference as good as anyone. It's fun now that I'm going through the same things. He remembers going to Ohio State. So it's kind of fun to talk about those things."
