During Week 1, Michigan did not impress against Fresno State. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore fielded questions post game in regards to the Wolverines’ lackluster performance.
“We’re always going to strive to be perfect. Defense played really good but there are things they want to get better at. Offense, we had our ups and downs. We’re going to try and get better. There’s not really a time where everyone thinks they’ve reached the pinnacle of where we need to be, because if you do that, you’ve already lost. For us, in all the phases, special teams as well, you continue to strive to be better,” Moore said following the game .
The offense, which a season ago averaged 382.7 yards per game in total offense, had over 100 yards less per game. The running game remained consistent but the passing game seemed to be stuck in neutral as Davis Warren got the call, was efficient, but a far cry from what J.J. McCarthy did a season ago.
Many thought dual-threat quarterback Alex Orji , who over the summer seemed to be the prohibitive favorite to be the successor to McCarthy was placed in situations against Fresno State to make splash plays. But overall, Moore felt Warren was more consistent over camp and won the job the last week of it.
