Biff Poggi Guides Michigan Past Nebraska as Sherrone Moore’s Suspension Ends

The interim stint stems from NCAA findings that Moore deleted texts in the 2023 sign-stealing probe, with one added game to be served in 2026.

Overview

  • Michigan edged Nebraska 30-27 on the road in its Big Ten opener, sealing the win with a late onside kick recovery to move to 3-1 heading into a Week 5 bye.
  • Poggi finished 2-0 as acting head coach, following last week’s 63-3 rout of Central Michigan, and now returns to his associate head coach role.
  • Sherrone Moore’s two-game, self-imposed suspension is complete, and he is expected back on the sideline for Week 6 against Wisconsin after the bye.
  • The NCAA cited Moore’s deletion of 52 text messages with former staffer Connor Stalions and tacked on an additional suspension for the 2026 season opener in Germany.
  • Poggi’s brief tenure drew national attention with a playful College GameDay exchange with Nick Saban and a postgame quip about celebrating with ice cream and a cigar.
