Michigan HC Sherrone Moore reveals favorite play he called as offensive coordinator

Michigan football's first year head coach Sherrone Moore has his work cut out for him this season with the Wolverines' 2024 schedule consistently ranked as one of the nation's toughest. 

This fall, Michigan will take on Texas, USC, Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon, with last year's runner-up and National Championship Game opponent Washington also showing on the schedule. 

Recently, Moore revealed his favorite play call on the sidelines working as offensive coordinator under departed coach Jim Harbaugh. 

The play happened in the Rose Bowl (which served as a CFP semifinal last season) against SEC champ Alabama and it broke a game wide open that looked like it was headed for an inevitable conclusion in favor of the Crimson Tide. 

On fourth-and-2 with 3:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and Michigan trailing 20-13, Moore dialed up a play that will live on for decades as one of the Wolverines' greatest offensive calls of all-time: a pass in the flat to RB Blake Corum that turned into a big gain and set up a game-tying touchdown. 

Moore's choice for his favorite play-call was relayed by On3 reporter Clayton Sayfie on X, as originally revealed on the Wolverines-focused "In the Trenches" podcast.
