He credited a big part of the Wolverines\u2019 success to practice meetings dedicated to situational awareness and focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing really disciplined is the key, and really knowing the situations,\u201d the Michigan coach said. \u201cSituational awareness, football awareness, rules awareness. Our guys do a great job of taking the coaching, and they\u2019re super excited about situations, too. They\u2019ve learned so much. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be interesting if you asked some of the guys on the team, offense, defense, special teams, give them some situational scenarios \u2026 they\u2019d acquit themselves really well. They\u2019re excited to learn that stuff, too. It really stimulates the whole team and is something we work on daily in training camp, besides the regular coaching the guys get. We devote a meeting a week to situational awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re eating it up, Harbaugh continued of his Michigan players. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuys are smart \u2026 they love being stimulated and learning new stuff. Then putting it into practice, it makes you feel great when you see it in the game. Zero penalties in this last game as a team \u2014 tremendous. A few penalties I know that weren\u2019t called maybe, both ways, officials maybe letting them play. I think that\u2019s part of it. But I think the biggest part is our guys really focused and dialed in on situational awareness techniques and\u00a0discipline, and they know the rules and do a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We talk about that and more in today\u2019s podcast. <\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/michigan-wolverines\/news\/thewolverine-com-podcast-balas-and-skene-on-michigan-win-at-nebraska-more-on-harbaugh-contract\/\">TheWolverine.com Podcast: Balas and Skene on Michigan win at Nebraska, more on Harbaugh contract<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan dominated Nebraska, 45-7, Saturday and improved to 5-0.
