Multiple Michigan offensive linemen have said the position group is “close” to firing on all cylinders. Moore has seen improvement and is pleased with where things are at.

“I see just a lot of camaraderie,” Moore said. “I see the guys … the glue is starting to stick a little bit more, and guys are starting to feel each other out. The inside three, really, you could kinda see that mesh, but now the tackles — whatever combination the tackles are — you can see those guys sticking together and feeling out, as well. It looks like it’s coming together.

“I thought this last game [a 31-7 win over Rutgers] they played really, really well as a group, and fundamentally sound in the run game. They did a lot of really, really good things. There are always things to clean up, but those guys are really coming together.”

The Michigan assistant explained how he evaluates the offensive line’s performance compared to other positions, where statistics are more available.

“You see the physicality. When you put on film, guys are finishing [blocks],” Moore explained. “You see guys are putting people on their back. You see the domination, you see the line surge up front and then you see the continuity and the communication, and you hear it when you talk to them. What I see on film is what I’m getting out of their mouth on the sideline and when we get to the meetings. You can see that growth. It’s taken steps every year; it always does. Especially when you’ve got give guys working as one, it takes some time to really hone in.”

Michigan takes on Nebraska this weekend in Lincoln. Temperature for game time is expected to be greater than 90 degrees, but Moore said other than stressing hydration there isn’t much different about how the Wolverines will prepare. Kickoff will occur at 2:30 p.m. central time at Memorial Stadium, where U-M and Nebraska are 1-1-1 all time.
