Michigan football is coming off a two-year run as kings of the Big Ten with back-to-back trips to the College Football Playoff. The first of those trips ended in a blowout loss to Georgia as the Bulldogs embarked on their first of two back-to-back national titles.

A season ago, the Wolverines suffered another Playoff loss at the hands of TCU. Now, with their sights set on a return trip in 2023, Michigan has reportedly added a new segment to their practice sessions.

According to college football insider Bruce Feldman, Jim Harbaugh’s program has added a “Beat Georgia” portion to practices to focus on the top dogs in the country. It is supposedly similar to the “Beat Ohio” segment installed in years past.

“You have to get through the SEC to win the national title right? Their archrival — who they whipped at their own place — was like this close to winning that game and knocking the Bulldogs out of the mix,” said Feldman on the Move the Sticks Podcast with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. “I think this Michigan team is more talented than the one they just had. I think it’s considerably more talented. I like their chances. One thing I heard a couple of years ago, one of the things that helped flip the switch at Michigan is they started to embrace the going after Ohio State year-round and they installed this ‘Beat Ohio’ period to practices… All of a sudden, now, I heard they have a ‘Beat Georgia’ period too.”

Even if the Wolverines are that fired up for a rematch with the two-time champs, Michigan will need to make it through the Big Ten for a third straight season. They will also need to address the defensive issues that led to giving up 51 points in a CFP loss to TCU.
