Moore began his press conference by addressing the Michigan-MSU postgame skirmish.
“I just want to make a comment … I made it after the game about the postgame skirmish. It’s unacceptable, not how we carry ourselves,” Moore said. “We’ll address that internally. That’s not how we represent the University of Michigan, the Block M, or the winged helmet. We’ll take care of that, and that will never happen again.”
He noted that it was a clean game during the 60 minutes that it was played, before an MSU defender appeared to start the shoving match.
“I thought our guys did an excellent job from the start all the way to when the whistle ended, before that,” he said. “There was a lot of talk and a lot of [chirping], but our guys kept their composure and played a good game … especially finished the game well.
“Look at the discipline,” Moore said. “
We had zero penalties. To be in that environment and have that, have 0 penalties, have any incidents, that was good to see. There were countless numbers of times watching those guys help our guy up; our guys helped them up. [Senior running back] Donovan [Edwards] going over to one of their guys when he went down, telling him, ‘Lord be with you and help you through your injuries.’ You’ve just got to calm your emotions down at the end.”

Michigan had fifth-year senior left tackle Myles Hinton back in the lineup against MSU, and the pass protection was much better. That allowed the Wolverines to have some success through the air, even when the run game wasn’t working as well as it normally does versus an aggressive Spartan defense.
Huge, man,” Moore said of having Hinton back. “Having Myles back, he’s a tone setter. Obviously, he’s a large human being with an immense skill set, but he did an excellent job for having his first game back.
“And I thought just as a group, those guys played well together with synergy in pass pro. But also the timing of the passing game. I thought the precision and the route timing was good. I thought [senior quarterback] Davis [Warren] was good when he was asked to do that.”
