Michigan Uses Bye Week to Reassess Lineup as Sherrone Moore Returns

Moore calls it an opportunity week to reevaluate roles, with guard competition under review before Wisconsin.

Overview

  • Michigan is 3-1 and 1-0 in the Big Ten after a 30-27 road win at Nebraska that featured a 77-yard, 8:46 clock‑draining drive in the fourth quarter.
  • The ground game reemerged with 286 rushing yards, highlighted by Justice Haynes’ 149-yard day and fourth straight 100-yard performance.
  • Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola was sacked seven times by seven different Wolverines, with Matt Rhule citing Michigan’s edge pressure as overwhelming.
  • Pro Football Focus credited Michigan’s offensive line with allowing just three pressures at Nebraska as fill‑ins Nathan Efobi and Jake Guarnera continued to hold the guard spots.
  • Moore said he graded every play while serving a two-game NCAA suspension and plans to use the bye to weigh potential changes at guard, emphasize fundamentals for receivers, and get injured contributors healthier ahead of Oct. 4 vs. Wisconsin.
