In the Trenches 243 - Andrew Vastardis & Aaron Taylor

It's a special episode, as we honor the Wolverines' offensive line for winning the Joe Moore Award! Jon shares his excitement off the top of the show before transitioning to more Orange Bowl talk in our "Seven from 77" (17:45). We then hear from Andrew Vastardis, the center on the Wolverines' award-winning offensive line. He discusses his reaction to this incredible honor (27:30) and the coaches and players who helped this unit become the best in college football (30:30). We conclude this episode by hearing from the founder of the Joe Moore Award, College Football Hall of Famer Aaron Taylor, who provides context on the award and its namesake (34:30), discusses why the Wolverines' offensive line earned this honor (41:45), and shares his thoughts on next week's Orange Bowl (49:30).
