Sherrone Moore weighs in on Arkansas State matchup
This week is all about Michigan getting back to the fundamentals and re-finding its identity in a game it should win by multiple scores. Head coach Sherrone Moore weighed in on moving on from the Texas loss in his Monday press conference:
Yeah, I think just for us from a rhythm standpoint and who we are and what we’ve done and how we’re built, I think we’ve got some really good running backs. So you’ve got to use those guys. And it’ll help us to help the play action, help the run action, help set everything up. So for us, that’ll be an emphasis, as it always is. You know, obviously not trying to run the ball 32 times in a row, but if it comes to that, it comes to that. But for us, really, it’s just to keep us balanced, to make sure that we can, you know, open up the lanes for the passing game.
I think it can be just a blip. Guys are hurt. Guys are stumped. Guys don’t feel happy. Guys aren’t smiling and laughing. But now it’s our job to uplift them and bring them back to the light of, hey, don’t, you know, this happened. Now we’ve got to see the mistakes. We’ve got to fix the mistakes. We’ve got to attack the mistakes. And we’ve got to get better from it. We can’t let this game beat us again.
Michigan and Arkansas State kick off at 12 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network. The Wolverines are favored by
