ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan Wolverines football head coach Sherrone Moore met with the media Monday morning ahead of his team’s game against Wisconsin Saturday. Watch video from his press conference in the player above.

Moore shared some insight on Michigan’s focus for last week’s bye, coming off a win over Wisconsin.

Moore explained how Michigan attacked the bye week, which he called “opportunity week.”

“Obviously, internally the self scout from what we do, I’m not going to speak on those,” Moore said of Michigan’s focus during the bye. “Fundamentally, we just want to get better as a football team. We just want to get better as a football team. We really worked on fundamentals. We had a team tackling circuit. We had a team ball security circuit. That was offense and defense; that was to emphasize ball security on defense just as much as offense, emphasize tackling because so much carries over with tackling and blocking. To watch guys do it, because that involves in special teams. We went back to the roots of the basics.

“We always talk about recommit — recommitting to your why and recommitting to the process. But why do that after a loss when you can do that after a win and you’re on a bye week? Just focused on getting better.

“Offensively, really focused on the drops. Wanted to attack that. Creating competition in the receiver room, and really focusing on the fundamentals of how to catch the football and doing that at a high level and making that a priority, whether that’s ball placement by the quarterback or hand placement by the receiver or tight end, whoever’s catching the football.

“Defensively, continue to emphasize tackling and being physical, hand placement and eyes. We know this week’s going to be a great challenge with their offense and shifts and motions and formations. We’ve got to be great with our eye discipline.

“Those are the things we worked on. Special teams — being the best tackling special teams [unit] in the country, working on doing that and continuing to do that at a high level.”
