Michigan Student-Athletes Postgame Press Conference
vs. Michigan – November 11, 2023
Blake Corum | RB | Sr.
Q: Can you take us through the last 24 hours of this program since hearing the news?
A: We're one. It made us stronger. Obviously, we wanted Coach Harbaugh to be here, but we did it for him. We have been going through a lot, but it's only brought us closer together.
Q: How were you guys able to overcome the tough atmosphere?
A: When we started fast and we scored, it quieted down. The defense will make a big change and was just starting to make plays and the student section slowly started leaving. We just played our game mentally.
J.J McCarthy| QB | Jr.
Q: Why do you think Coach Moore was so emotional after the game?
A: Coach Moore is actually one of the most passionate, practical human beings I've ever been around, and he just puts his absolute all into this football team. When someone gives it their all and we go out there and execute the way he wants us to. It's like a proud dad moment.
Q: What was more motivating for the team? Was it the sign stealing stuff or was it because they were on of your toughest opponents?
A: I would say we're not motivated by outside stuff. Of course. It's always great, but we have a drive as a team. We have a standard that we live up to every single day. No matter what, if there's noise or not, we're always going to be driven to hold ourselves to that standard of excellence, attention to detail, all the little things that we harp on this offseason. We're driven.
