It's clear that the results from last year's College Football Playoff has stuck with the Michigan Wolverines. After suffering a 34-11 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in the CFP Semifinal, the Wolverines were determined not to make the same mistakes twice.
Now, in 2022, Michigan is approaching their second opportunity in the College Football Playoff as a business opportunity, vs a vacation opportunity.
"We've been here before, we know that there's a lot of things that could distract us from the task at hand," McCarthy said. This week to prepare, we're taking it much more as a business trip instead of kind of like a vacation feel like it was in Miami last year. So I'd say the biggest difference is that we've been here before and we know what to do."
Here's more from McCarthy's morning at the podium:
