Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore weighs in on Ohio State
Michigan head coach knows his team has its hands full against the Buckeyes
Explosive, complete. They can run it. They can throw it. The quarterback’s really good. He’s efficient. He’s playing really well right now for them. And people talk about their offensive line being reshuffled, but they’re playing good football too. So it’s going to be a big challenge for us, but we got to go down there and execute.

Moore also praised OSU EDGE rushers JT Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer as character guys, in addition to talented players.
“It feels like those two have been there forever,” Moore said. “Cool story about both of those guys that, you know, Zak Zinter gets hurt last year and breaks his leg. And JT was the first one that came up and he said, you know, praying for him and Jack, the same thing and say it was bigger than football. So I have a lot of respect for those kids and type of players they are and people they are more importantly. And that spoke a lot to me about those kids and who they are and their whole D-line sitting there praying for them. So, you know, I think this rivalry is big, but, you know, sometimes things like that are bigger than football and you see the reality of who these kids are. So they’re really good players. I got a lot of respect for them.”
Saturday’s game between Michigan and Ohio State kicks off at 12:14 p.m. on FOX.
