Coaches \u2018working diligently\u2019 on it"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan threw only five times in the first half of a 27-9 loss to Ohio State, and there have been narratives created that it\u2019s because they didn\u2019t trust quarterback <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/bryce-underwood-15949\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bryce Underwood<\/a><\/strong> after he missed a few open receivers. Head coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/sherrone-moore-134559\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sherrone Moore<\/a><\/strong> insisted again Monday that early success in the run game had more to do with it, adding they were looking at bringing in more help for Underwood next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It was] try to be balanced,\u201d Moore said. \u201cObviously, credit to them. I\u2019m not going to make excuses. They played well. They played better than us in that game, and we didn\u2019t do a good job executing that game. I thought we had a good start and had good momentum. As the game plan went and changed, you got in the red zone, trying to get the ball in the end zone and \u2026 first play of the game, you have a successful 20- or 30-yard run, you think that\u2019s going to work, and then it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, we\u2019ve just got to move past that. We\u2019ve got to push through \u2014 we\u2019ve got to learn from it. We have \u2026 usually it\u2019s 24 hours. It was almost 48 hours to really get over that one. So, I\u2019ll learn from it and keep rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One area they\u2019ll look to improve \u2014 getting more coaching help for Underwood. We asked if he might consider bringing in another dedicated quarterbacks coach \u2026 he noted staffers Josh Sinagaga and Travis Russell had also been working with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Michigan O.C.] <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/chip-lindsey-131269\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chip [Lindsey<\/a><\/strong>],\u00a0he spends a lot of time with [Underwood], and yeah, that\u2019s something we\u2019re definitely looking at is bringing in other people to help, bringing in another quarterback coach,\u201d Moore continued. \u201cIt\u2019s something we\u2019re working diligently on, to get worked on \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just have to continue as a whole offense, in the building, to make sure it\u2019s the best for the players that we have, continue to work for it that way. I think we hit a lot of [Lindsey\u2019s offense] and a lot of stuff that he\u2019s done in the past we\u2019ve done, whether it be tempos, whether it be the press tests, whether it be the pass game, whatever it was \u2026 but as you have a younger team, there\u2019s less you can do with them, right?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t do everything. You could try to do everything, but then you\u2019ll really be doing nothing. So, we\u2019ll progress, and as our team gets more veteran and even in these bowl practices, there will be things that we\u2019ll introduce that we haven\u2019t done because we\u2019ll have more time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All with the intent of making Underwood and the offense much better in 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michigan threw only five times in the first half of a 27-9 loss to Ohio State, and there&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":435706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[83243,1318,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-435705","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-bryce-underwood","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115689935734111066","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
