Sherrone Moore weighs in on Michigan vs. Wisconsin

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore spoke about the Badgers during his radio show on Monday night.

“The tradition of the program, physical, they’re always physical, they’re always tough, hard-nosed,” Moore said. “You start on offense with the quarterback, Billy. It could be Billy, it could be the O’Neil kid, and both those guys are good players.

“Billy’s more of the drop-back passer that can scramble and run. I know he’s been banged up, but I’m sure he’ll be healthy and ready to go. They’ve got a really good receiver that, unfortunately, he came from that other school down South. But he’s a good player. Ballard, he’s a really good player. He makes plays for them.

“And the run game is the run game of Wisconsin. They always want to be big and physical up front. So they’re going to try to control the clock, shift motion, create different formations to get eye candy, to really confuse you. So we’ve got to do a great job with eye discipline. And then defensively, just a sound defense that plays physical up front. And then the back end, they got a corner Hillman, who, I think two years ago, led the country in picks. So a really good player. And as a team, they play really good sound defense. So we just got to do a really good job and be us and play physical.”

Michigan’s game against Wisconsin kicks off at 12:10 p.m. ET on FOX as part of its Big Noon Saturday coverage.
