Sherrone Moore emphasizing balance for the Michigan football offense

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Michigan football offense has been fairly one-dimensional for the past two seasons, though it has been quite effective at the same time. While the Wolverines’ offense has not been anything to write home about, it has been useful for accomplishing the program’s bigger goals, including winning two straight Big Ten titles and appearing in the College Football Playoff twice. That said, as Michigan pursues a national title this fall, OC Sherrone Moore is looking for offensive balance.

Sherrone Moore wants more balance

After Matt Weiss was fired following the 2022 season, the Michigan football offense was handed over to former co-play caller Sherrone Moore. Moore, who was initially hired as the offensive line coach, is one of the best assistants in the nation, and will likely be in the running for a number of head coaching positions after the 2023 season or soon after.

That said, Sherrone Moore is looking to bring a national title back to Ann Arbor this fall, and to do so, he believes that the Wolverines need to be balanced.

“At the end of the day, we want to be balanced,” said offensive play-caller Sherrone Moore, according to The Wolverine. “That’s very cliché to say, but if you’re not, you’re predictable. We don’t want to be predicable. I want to do everything we can to attack defenses, attack weaknesses in different ways whether it’s the run, pass, play action, screen, perimeter run, downhill run, over the top, or intermediate.

“We just have all the tools available to us to attack defenses any way we need to get the ‘W’ at the end of the day.”

Big things ahead for the Michigan football offense

The Michigan football running back room is the best in the nation right now, and in front of these impressive backs stands the best offensive line in college football. While the rushing attack will undoubtedly be a threat for Michigan football this year, seeing progression from JJ McCarthy — who is heading into year two as Michigan’s starter — will be essential as well.

This fall, expect more balance from the Michigan football offense as the Wolverines seek out the first playoff win in program history behind first-year full-time offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore.
