Michigan football is 'even more physical' under Sherrone Moore

There's a reason so many people are saying positive things about the hire of Sherrone Moore as Michigan football head coach.

It's because he's going to kill it. Moore worked under the best in the business in Jim Harbaugh, but make no mistake, the Wolverines wouldn't have turned it around without him on staff.

Not many head coaches would have the guts the run the ball 32 times in a row in a top-10 matchup. Moore did and it contributed to the Wolverines winning a national championship.

Michigan football 'even more physical'

Moore obviously felt his team could impose their will on Penn State and the Wolverines did. That takes a certain kind of toughness and it starts in practice. Michigan workouts were always known to be challenging for players but in terms of physicality, Kenneth Grant says things have gone to another level now that Moore is Michigan football head coach.

"I think it's more physical," Grant said to The Wolverine. "Even more physical because of Sherrone Moore. We definitely just play football more, 11-on-11 situations more.

Moore is a former offensive lineman so that shouldn't come as a surprise. Michigan football players have often talked about how games were made easier because of the challenge of practice and Moore has talked plenty of times about maintaining the standard.

You don't do that by playing two-hand touch like the first stringers in the Ohio State spring game. You win in the trenches by practicing and battling it out. I love the approach and it's one that gives me even more confidence that Sherrone Moore was the right man for the job.
