To accomplish this objective, the Wolverines will likely have to defeat the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/georgia-bulldogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia Bulldogs<\/a>. Michigan is planning accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Jim Harbaugh implemented a new period in practice this season. The period is appropriately named the \u201cBeat Georgia\u201d period. On3\u2019s own JD PicKell broke down the peculiar practice decision on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI absolutely love this from Jim Harbaugh. I absolutely love this because, what it is to me, is Jim Harbaugh very, very clearly laying out for his football team, that they are embracing all the pressure and everything that the mission is going to require for them in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not tiptoeing around their goals. What does it take to win the national title? Probably beating someone from the SEC. Who\u2019s the big dog in college football right now? The last two years, Georgia. Okay, what\u2019s our goal? Win a national title? Sounds like we got to go through Georgia to get there. I love that, man,\u201d PicKell said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"yDXqnvb5KHVfzN8SA\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k4SiZ-ezxmM\"><\/a><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>Michigan didn\u2019t get to compete for a national title last season, but it came unbearably close. For the second-straight year, Harbaugh led the Wolverines to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.com\/news\/football\/article\/2023-01-02\/teams-most-college-football-playoff-wins-and-appearances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the College Football Playoff.<\/a> And for the second-straight year, the Wolverines got bounced in the first game.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, the Michigan fell 45-42 to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/tcu-horned-frogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TCU Horned Frogs<\/a>, who suffered a blowout defeat to Georgia in the championship game. In 2021, Michigan lost to UGA in the national semifinal. Now, the Wolverines are employing a proven method to overcome this difficult barrier.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. Michigan\u2019s odd practice method has worked in the past. In 2021, Harbaugh named a period of Wolverines practice the \u201cBeat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/ohio-state-buckeyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ohio State<\/a>\u201d period. As we all know, Michigan promptly defeated the Buckeyes that year and in 2022. Perhaps Michigan can once again speak success into existence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, here\u2019s one thing that\u2019s just so childish, but you\u2019ll hear from the peanut gallery. People are gonna say, \u2018Well, you should have had a beat TCU. Period.\u2019 Give me a break. Dude. Give me a break.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no secret who the big dog is, it\u2019s Georgia. So, if we\u2019re putting our focus on one thing and it\u2019s winning a national title, then the byproduct would be that we beat TCU or whoever the TCU would be for the 2023 season. The goal is to beat Georgia,\u201d PicKell said.<\/p>\n<p>See if Michigan\u2019s unconventional methods pay off as it kicks off the season against the East Carolina Pirates at noon on Sept. 2.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/michigan-wolverines\/news\/insight-into-why-michigan-would-utilize-beat-georgia-practice-period\/\">Insight into why Michigan would utilize \u2018Beat Georgia\u2019 practice period<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan has one goal for the upcoming season: win a national championship.
