On the 7th September episode of the ‘ESPN College Football’ show, both Pat McAfee and Nick Saban sat down together in an open field to talk about the Michigan-Texas game and the upcoming season. Saban invoked the famous ‘rat poison’ term to describe the situation and advised Moore to stray away from the thoughts that would distract him from the situation at hand.

Saban hit at the media hype that tends to surround big-time college programs like Michigan and said, “They have less [rat poison]. That’s why I think it’s a good thing for them. All these teams that we’ve created all this expectation, like, these teams are going to get in the playoffs, that’s the rat poison. That’s what takes your focus away from who we playing this week.” Thus, Saban’s words of advice can prove to be absolutely vital for Moore and the Wolverines since they’re constantly surrounded by media headlines and other controversies.
