What Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said postgame
COLUMBUS — Everything Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said after his Michigan team stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 in the Horseshoe on Saturday can be found below.
On the postgame fight…
“I’m not … you know, we didn’t lose,” he said with a grin. “We won, so I’m not sure … There were emotions on both sides. Our guys … I did see they had the flag. Our guys were waving it around, and their guys charged us. Emotions on both sides. It can’t happen. Rivalry games get heated, especially this one. It’s the biggest one in the country, so we’ve got to handle that better.
“Those were the officers that were around [making people]. They were just trying to control everything, security trying to control everything. They got both sides, trying to make sure to take care of them. We’ve got to do a better job handling that as a group, address it in the locker room, address it again. Both sides.”
On beating Ohio State…
“A heated rivalry. It’s one that we all talk about — we talk about it, they talk about it,” Moore said. “I walk into my office, the first thing I see is, “What are we doing to beat Ohio State today?’ It’s something we think about 365 [days a year]. I’m excited we won the game and proud of our guys.”
