Michigan’s Offensive Identity — And the Vision Moore Has for 2026

Meeting with the media on Monday, Sherrone Moore sounded like a man willing to pull the curtain back on Michigan’s offense — not defensive, not evasive, but honest. The Wolverines improved in flashes, sputtered in others, and never looked like the finished product Moore and offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey envisioned last winter. The reasons, as Moore laid out Monday, are layered: youth, timing, injuries, personnel turnover, and the simple reality that Michigan is no longer built like the 2021–23 groups that won with overwhelming line play and NFL-ready veterans.
