Michigan Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore had a chance to address the media following a 27-9 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes this past Saturday. Although he was in a somber mood following the defeat, which halted a four -game winning streak in the rivalry, there were a few positives to take away.
A chance to win 10 games this season is still on the table, two years removed from winning a national title.
"We've got another game we have to play after this," Moore said. "We've got to regroup and try to get 10 wins. That'll be huge. That would be a huge success for this team, to get 10 wins with such a young team. Starting six freshmen—redshirt freshmen, true freshman quarterback, redshirt freshman running back, three redshirt freshmen offensive linemen. So, we've got to regroup as a team and make sure we do that."
Moore said that although the Wolverines didn't play well, it's a learning experience he plans to take with him moving forward.
"It'll be about preparing for the game, just like we did last year," Moore said about moving forward. "Preparing for the bowl game as much as we can and getting as good as we can at football. It's a big time, whatever it is, it's a chance to have 10 wins, right?And 10 wins in college football is huge. So we're gonna attack it. Whoever we have to play, whatever scene, wherever we go, we're gonna enjoy it. We're gonna enjoy it, but we're gonna attack it, and we're gonna get better."
The Wolverines will await their bowl opponent next Sunday evening. Even though it isn't the outcome Michigan fans wanted, it will still get a chance to play in the postseason.
For now, though, only time will tell.
