However, Cleveland Browns quarterback Dehsaun Watson's personal coach, Quincy Avery, sounded off on Sherrone Moore's team for this decision. In a tweet on X, he heavily criticized the Wolverines and their coach for focusing more on protecting their logo than winning the game.

"What a bunch of clowns. You guys chatted about protecting a logo? Why not just win a football game. Performative clown show led by a performative clown in Coach Moore," Avery tweeted.

This is the second consecutive year that Michigan has failed to qualify for the playoffs. In the post-game press conference, Sherrone Moore expressed his disappointment with the result and took responsibility for his team's loss.

Fans are unhappy with Moore's play-calling and demanded that the program fire him and bring in a suitable replacement to lead them to glory. His quarterback, Bryce Underwood, had a lackluster showcase as well, completing just eight of 18 passes for 63 yards and no touchdowns.
