Sherrone Moore on Michigan’s remarkable win

After a long wait, the Michigan Wolverines finally got their revenge against the USC Trojans for the 2007 Rose Bowl loss. After an embarrassing loss of 12-31 against the Texas Longhorns, head coach Sherrone Moore and the team needed this comeback. Sherrone even expressed his happiness post-matchup, saying, “It was insane. It was fun, and the best thing about our team was that we got a team, and whether you run it or throw it, we won; we beat a good team. So for us, that’s what it was all about.”.

Every player was in their best form during the matchup. Michigan’s new starting quarterback Alex Orji ran for 290 yards with three touchdowns. Alex proved that Sherrone made the right choice by selecting him over Davis Warren.
