- 0:27Speaker 1: one Saturday up in ann Arbor. But right now you're
- 0:30Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit chance to hear a little
- 0:32Speaker 1: bit from the other head coach from Saturday's game, Sharon Moore.
- 0:35Speaker 1: He held his press conference on Monday up in ann Arbor.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you to let you hear just a
- 0:40Speaker 1: few clips from that. Michigan has some restrictions and how
- 0:43Speaker 1: much you can use, so we're gonna abide by that.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But these clips are all courtesy of the University of
- 0:47Speaker 1: Michigan Athletics department and man Searon Moore. I know he
- 0:51Speaker 1: is not going to be a favorite among those in Columbus,
- 0:53Speaker 1: But you listen to him talk about the rivalry and
- 0:55Speaker 1: it's like, man, he gets it, he understands it. And
- 0:58Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll hear a lot of this same kind
- 1:00Speaker 1: of stuff from Ryan Day on Tuesday. I want to
- 1:02Speaker 1: let you hear just a little bit though, from Sharon
- 1:05Speaker 1: more So, we're gonna start with his message from Michigan
- 1:08Speaker 1: fans this weekend.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Be the loudest, most rapidous, craziest energetic environment that we've
- 1:17Speaker 2: had in Michigan Stadium ever. That's what we wanted to be,
- 1:20Speaker 2: the loudest place that's ever been. I don't know what
- 1:23Speaker 2: the decimals have been or what they could be, but
- 1:27Speaker 2: we need them to reach peak.
- 1:28Speaker 1: On Saturday, Moore was asked about the Ohio State offense
- 1:32Speaker 1: and specifically the Ohio State passing game. Unsurprisingly, you never
- 1:36Speaker 1: want to make headlines this time of year, but you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: unsurprisingly had some glowing things to say about some of
- 1:42Speaker 1: the guys who are gonna be playing for Ohio State
- 1:43Speaker 1: on Saturday.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's potent, man, It's one of the best in
- 1:48Speaker 2: the country. Obviously the best team in the country. You know,
- 1:51Speaker 2: the receivers are elite for Jeremia's elite, carnel Tate's elite.
- 1:57Speaker 2: You know, they got Brendan NIS's elite, and Max Player
- 2:00Speaker 2: is really good player as well, and cornerbacks elgue. You
- 2:04Speaker 2: know they've got elite players everywhere on the field from
- 2:07Speaker 2: a skill position standpoint. Running backs really good, O line's good.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So it's a challenge on Now our defense is ready
- 2:13Speaker 2: to go take on.
- 2:14Speaker 1: One of the guys who has been on both sidelines
- 2:16Speaker 1: of this game is Tony Alford. He was Ohio State's
- 2:19Speaker 1: running backs coach. Now he is Michigan's running backs coach,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and he has had quite a fascinating year. Lost his
- 2:25Speaker 1: starting running back Justice Haynes to injury, then lost his
- 2:28Speaker 1: backup running back Jordan Marshall to injury. Sounds like he'll
- 2:30Speaker 1: probably be back this weekend. So then they got down
- 2:33Speaker 1: to their third running back, Bryce and Gustall. And he's
- 2:35Speaker 1: someone who was a two star recruit out of high school,
- 2:38Speaker 1: basically a walk on when he came to Michigan. And
- 2:41Speaker 1: all he did last week was run for one hundred
- 2:43Speaker 1: yards and a win over Maryland. So how does Tony
- 2:46Speaker 1: Alfred do such a good job getting different guys ready
- 2:49Speaker 1: to be in that starter role and still allow them
- 2:53Speaker 1: to sort of be able to establish the run the
- 2:54Speaker 1: way they do.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been outstanding, Tony. You know, ever since I
- 2:59Speaker 2: hired on my news home run higher from a recruit standpoint,
- 3:02Speaker 2: development standpoint, and now it's just proof in the pudding.
- 3:05Speaker 2: You got the third running back rushing for over one
- 3:07Speaker 2: hundred yards and you know, runs hard, runs physical, and
- 3:12Speaker 2: he demands it out of all of them. They all
- 3:14Speaker 2: play that way, they all worked that way, they all
- 3:17Speaker 2: practice that way, and it's awesome to watch. It's also
- 3:19Speaker 2: to watch those guys develop and how he coaches them,
- 3:22Speaker 2: push them. Him and coach Jackson our outstanding combination to
- 3:26Speaker 2: coach those backs.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Looking back at last year's game or Ohio State lost
- 3:30Speaker 1: and then still went on to win the national championship,
- 3:32Speaker 1: has that maybe changed the stakes of this rivalry or
- 3:34Speaker 1: maybe the intensity of the rivalry.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think anything changes the intensity.
- 3:39Speaker 2: It's it's as intense as a rivalry you'll see in sports.
- 3:44Speaker 2: So I don't think they had the outcome. Regardless win
- 3:47Speaker 2: or lose, is not going to change it. That's a
- 3:50Speaker 2: it's a new year. Every year, it's a new game.
- 3:52Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think that's going to change the intensity.
- 3:55Speaker 1: We got a couple of good ones here from sure
- 3:57Speaker 1: On more coming up. One of them is about how
- 3:59Speaker 1: they channel the intensity of this game into that, how
- 4:03Speaker 1: they want to play on Saturday, the.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Way this place is built, what Michigan is all about,
- 4:08Speaker 2: the intensity, the intentionality of how we practice, how we prepare.
- 4:13Speaker 2: That's what we want. We want it like that. We
- 4:15Speaker 2: want that physical battle. We want the toughness, we want
- 4:17Speaker 2: the violence. That's what we want. So it fits us.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But I mean, they're playing really well. They're playing physical
- 4:22Speaker 2: as well, so we've got to match it and they've
- 4:25Speaker 2: got to match us.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Here's another good one. He was asked about describing the
- 4:29Speaker 1: Ohio State Michigan rivalry to people who maybe haven't been
- 4:32Speaker 1: part of the rivalry. And you're gonna hear reference Jayshawn here.
- 4:35Speaker 1: That is jayshn Barham, who's a linebacker slash edge player.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Where's number one on their defense.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you say that, because I was talking
- 4:43Speaker 2: to coach Lindsay about it. He's been the Iron Bowl,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and we've talked to people that have been the Iron Bowl.
- 4:48Speaker 3: And this one it's different.
- 4:51Speaker 2: You can't describe it like literally, I could try to
- 4:54Speaker 2: describe you the feeling of exactly what it feels like.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It feels like this, it feels like this.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I can't Like I remember last year going on the
- 5:00Speaker 2: field with Jay Sean and we're running out during Wars.
- 5:03Speaker 2: He's like, oh, this is different and Jason don't say
- 5:06Speaker 2: much so for him to say that, he said, this
- 5:09Speaker 2: is different. So it's a it's a feeling that you
- 5:12Speaker 2: can't really describe.
- 5:13Speaker 3: It's an intensity, it's a you know, it's.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Just an aura about it that you can't describe until
- 5:19Speaker 2: you get on the field.
- 5:20Speaker 3: But it's it's awesome to be a part of. It's
- 5:22Speaker 3: great to be a part of.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's it's the best robbery in sports, in my opinion,
- 5:26Speaker 2: the funnest want to be a part of.
- 5:27Speaker 3: It's competitive, it's but there's nothing like it.
- 5:31Speaker 1: With the intensity that goes into this game. And how
- 5:34Speaker 1: hard it is to describe it to people who haven't
- 5:36Speaker 1: been a part of it before. How are they going
- 5:38Speaker 1: to make sure that guys who have not really been
- 5:40Speaker 1: a part of this game before, like say wide receiver
- 5:43Speaker 1: Andrew Marsh, quarterback Bryce Hunderwood, both true freshmen who are
- 5:46Speaker 1: going to play key roles for Michigan on Saturday. How
- 5:49Speaker 1: do they make sure they aren't overwhelmed with their first
- 5:51Speaker 1: Ohio State Michigan experience.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we we've tried to educate them throughout
- 5:56Speaker 2: the year of what this game is all about. You know,
- 5:58Speaker 2: training camp, bakers come and talk about it. We'll talk
- 6:01Speaker 2: about it throughout the week though, you know throughout the
- 6:04Speaker 2: building they see it every day.
- 6:06Speaker 3: They see it even more now.
- 6:08Speaker 2: But I don't think there's really a way to just
- 6:10Speaker 2: take away that initial feeling that you're going to get
- 6:12Speaker 2: when you walk on the field, and you kind of
- 6:14Speaker 2: don't want them to take that away. You want them
- 6:16Speaker 2: to feel that that intensity, that burn, that's that little
- 6:19Speaker 2: extra motivation. It's like putting on that favorite song on
- 6:21Speaker 2: your your ear pods or your air pods right before
- 6:24Speaker 2: the game. So you want them to have that feeling
- 6:26Speaker 2: a little bit to that little jolt right before the game.
- 6:30Speaker 1: One of the ways that Michigan has won each of
- 6:32Speaker 1: the last four games is they've really dominated the second
- 6:34Speaker 1: halves a lot of those games. So how have they
- 6:37Speaker 1: been able.
- 6:37Speaker 3: To do that?
- 6:38Speaker 2: I mean, again, the players, the game plans are great,
- 6:41Speaker 2: but we always talked about the how, not the what,
- 6:43Speaker 2: and the players have just executed and their world of
- 6:46Speaker 2: break is you know, they're they're unbreakable, especially in that game.
- 6:50Speaker 2: They want to be unbreakable. They want to do everything
- 6:52Speaker 2: they can and go win that game. So but again,
- 6:55Speaker 2: this is a new game, new new year, so we've
- 6:58Speaker 2: got to reset the clock and try do that again.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Last season's game ended with a really ugly scene on
- 7:04Speaker 1: the field, the flag planting, the pepper spray. You remember,
- 7:07Speaker 1: I probably don't need to tell you. So have they
- 7:10Speaker 1: talked about this doing you know, that whole situation this
- 7:13Speaker 1: week and maybe not having that repeat.
- 7:15Speaker 2: No, we talked about that at the beginning of the year,
- 7:17Speaker 2: and we've been pretty good about any post game interactions.
- 7:22Speaker 2: You know, when we win a game, or you know,
- 7:25Speaker 2: when you're in the game, we're going to go to
- 7:26Speaker 2: our our student section, go to our band and shake hands, cordial,
- 7:32Speaker 2: cordial ending and be done with it.
- 7:34Speaker 3: And that's it. So our guys have been good about them.
- 7:36Speaker 3: We'll continue to do that.
- 7:38Speaker 1: One of the big challenges this weekend for Michigan is
- 7:40Speaker 1: going to be scoring against Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense,
- 7:43Speaker 1: which is setting all sorts of marks that haven't been
- 7:46Speaker 1: done for decades. Nineteen ninety three, Florida State, nineteen eighty seven, Oklahoma.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I mean this, the Ohio State is doing some stuff
- 7:52Speaker 1: in terms of not allowing points that hasn't happened in decades.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So what makes this year's Matt Patricia defense so good?
- 7:59Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 7:59Speaker 2: I think one, those guys play together, they play really
- 8:02Speaker 2: good together. There's so many different different coverages front front variation,
- 8:07Speaker 2: blitz variation, and it's game by game. You know, there's
- 8:10Speaker 2: a story in each game of how he calls the game.
- 8:12Speaker 2: It's not just you know this game is doing this.
- 8:14Speaker 2: It's not just by formation, it's just not just by
- 8:16Speaker 2: Personnel's by game. So you've got to do a good
- 8:18Speaker 2: job of identifying that early in the game and figuring
- 8:21Speaker 2: out how to play that through all four quarters because
- 8:23Speaker 2: I think it changes as you go.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Have to have And the last one, very simple question,
- 8:29Speaker 1: how do you win this game this weekend?
- 8:31Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean one, you gotta win the line of scrimmage.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I always got to do that.
- 8:36Speaker 2: You can't let outside variation, outside things, outside noise control
- 8:41Speaker 2: the preparation and the progress of what we're doing and
- 8:45Speaker 2: the process of what we're doing because there's there's a
- 8:48Speaker 2: lot of things going on, right It's college game day,
- 8:50Speaker 2: it's big dooing kickoff, it's this, it's that There's can
- 8:52Speaker 2: be a lot of people here. But at the end
- 8:54Speaker 2: of the day, we've got to channel our focus on
- 8:55Speaker 2: our preparation and that's how you win, you know, prepare
- 8:59Speaker 2: the way we prepare for those last three games.
- 9:02Speaker 1: All right, So there you go. A little bit from
- 9:03Speaker 1: Michigan head coach Sharon Moore.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Guys would probably enjoy some of the stuff he had
- 9:07Speaker 1: to say. You know, they're always trying not to say
- 9:10Speaker 1: anything too controversial. He probably avoided making any headlines there.
- 9:14Speaker 1: The quote we want the violence that's gonna play, I'm
- 9:17Speaker 1: not gonna lie. That's probably gonna be the headlines for
- 9:19Speaker 1: this video. That is a great quote for this game.
- 9:21Speaker 1: So we'll be hearing more from Ohio State, the Ohio
- 9:24Speaker 1: State side of things on Tuesday. Ryan Day his press
- 9:26Speaker 1: conference at noon on Tuesday. Then we'll hear a little
