Quote of the week

“If that happens on their part, then they do, but we’re not going to engage in anything extra, because that’s not going to help us win the game. It’s just going to distract us from doing that. So, worry about what we can do between the whistles to execute our job, and that’s it.”

— Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore on the game against MSU and avoiding extracurriculars
