Sherron Moore wasn’t too happy about it Michigans performance on Saturday: a 27-24 victory over Minnesota in Big Ten play.

After leading 24-3 entering the fourth quarter, the Gophers scored 21 points in the final frame, nearly coming all the way back and pulling off the upset. There was an onside kick that was called back for a penalty, which was certainly questionable.

“Yeah, not very happy with the performance,” Moore told Jenny Taft on the FOX broadcast. ‘Yes, we have a lot to clean up. The kids work so hard to get here, and I think coaches, players, we have to clean up a lot to get better as a team, as a group.

Moore acknowledged that Minnesota had a lot more energy in the second half, especially down the stretch.

“Yeah, I mean, they came out with a lot of energy, and we didn’t,” Moore said. “And you know, I’ll take that, but I think the guys, you know, obviously won the game, so we’re happy with it, but we’ve got to finish better.”

As for the QB: Alex Orji the stat sheet didn’t light up and Moore said he had to go back to the lab to get things fixed.

“You know, he’s got things he needs to get better at,” Moore said. “But for us, we have to go back (and fix things) and keep going, so appreciate it.”

Orji finished the game 10 of 18 passing for 86 yards, one touchdown, one interception and 12 rushing yards. Moore likes to emphasize the running game, led by Kalel Mullings Saturday: 24 carries, 111 yards and two touchdowns.

“We just have to finish better, honestly,” Mullings said during the postgame. “We saw it last week. We saw it again this week. And you know, hats off to Minnesota. They fought in all four quarters. Kept pushing us. Luckily we were able to come away with a win. “But it’s clearly not the way we want to be able to come out in the second half and finish games better.”

However, with a one-dimensional offense and a defense that nearly gave up a three-score lead, things are a little shaky in Ann Arbor.
