College football insider Adam Breneman recently interviewed Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore. In the interview, Moore discussed Michigan’s big win this past year against their rival, Ohio State Buckeyes. He highlighted how practices near that week were some of the best he had ever seen.
Michigan and Ohio State have one of the greatest rivalries in college and professional sports. Their contests are consistently among the biggest and most important games of their respective seasons, no matter how the rest of the year plays out. However, the rivalry has been quite lopsided in recent seasons, with the Wolverines having won the past four contests.
What Did Sherrone Moore Say About Michigan, Ohio State Rivalry?
Moore clarified that the game against Ohio State was among the most important each year.
“That’s all we think about. We think about the game 365 days a year… For me, it was all about these players and Monday practice, it was one of the most energetic practices we’ve ever had in my whole seven years… That game is always on our mind, and it will always stay like that,” Moore stated.
