Tod Kowalczyk. "Dusty is one of the top coaches in the country, and this game will provide us a chance to build even more chemistry in a great road environment. More importantly, we are also honored to help the Wolverines showcase the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital which is one of the top medical facilities in the nation."
