Moore gave updates on Michigan’s offensive line and rushing attack, gave his thoughts on JJ McCarthy and the in-state rivalry and discussed other topics ahead of Saturday’s tilt.
See everything he had to say below.
On walk-on offensive lineman Noah Stewart
Great kid on and off the field. Works his tail off to try and get better and push himself to make the team better in his role. Just unbelievable in his role and just love having him on the team and in our room.
On his confidence level with Blake Corum at the goal line
Pretty high. Very high. Coach Hart does a great job with the backs and subbing and all that. The way the guys are knocking up front when we get into those packages and doing those things, it’s giving me high confidence to do that when we get down there.
On what Corum does at the goal-line beyond strength
It’s how low center of gravity, the way he runs on contact, the physicality and probably more importantly the mindset that he has that he’s not going to get stopped.
On Michigan’s red-zone success overall
Execution. The guys, the plan we have and what we’re doing as a staff has been really good. Been very simple, multiple in different ways to the defense. Things we’re used to, things that we do and the packages we’ve practiced throughout the offseason and we’re sticking to that plan as we go through and have different ones as we go game-to-game.
On if he saw AJ Barner as a blocking tight end coming into Michigan
I’ve been super impressed by AJ and what he’s done in the pass-catching but especially as a blocker. He’s really cemented himself as a legit blocker in college football at the tight end position. He takes a lot of pride in it. You can see the work he does in practice. You can see in the weight room in the offseason. He’s just done such a phenomenal job and very proud and happy we have him.
