Sherrone Moore describes locker room energy after Michigan beat USC
Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore explained his team’s energy in the locker room after a big win over USC. Michigan defeated USC, 27-24.
The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines are set for their second Big Ten Conference matchup of the season as the Minnesota Golden Gophers visit Ann Arbor today for a noon kickoff.
After trailing by four points, a 63-yard rush by fifth-year running back Kalel Mullings was the key play that led the Wolverines to a 27-24 comeback victory over USC last week. Mullings led the team with 159 yards on 17 carries and had two touchdowns.
In his first start at quarterback, junior Alex Orji went 7-for-12 passing for a paltry 32 yards against the Trojans, and was sacked twice. He rushed for 43 yards on 13 carries.
The Wolverines are currently on 23-game winning streak against Big Ten opponents in the regular season. Today’s matchup will also serve as the 99th Little Brown Jug game.

Michigan vs. USC predictions, picks, odds
Tony Garcia, Detroit Free Press: The Wolverines have blown out mid-level Big Ten teams like Minnesota a lot in recent years, but without a solid passing game it’s hard to see them pulling away, unless it happens late. The Gophers have the better pass game, and U-M has been susceptible to giving up yards when the opponent’s QB gets the ball out quickly. But if Minnesota doesn’t establish its own run game on its end, the Wolverines’ front four of Josaiah Stewart, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant and Derrick Moore could feast on a one-dimensional offense. Michigan will look to wear it down Minnesota in the same way Iowa did a week ago. The pick: Michigan 20, Minnesota 12.
- Spread: Michigan by 10½
- Over/under total: 34½
- Moneyline: Michigan -450, Minnesota +340

Icy Minnesota roads causing white-knuckle Thursday commute
MINNEAPOLIS — Thursday is another day to go slow on Minnesota roads.
Morning commuters can expect icy roadways and even some blowing snow in the Twin Cities, as temperatures hover around freezing.
There were nearly 600 crashes and spinouts across the state on Wednesday, the Minnesota State Patrol reports, including an accident on Interstate 35 in Owatonna that killed a baby boy and injured a 4-year-old girl.
A WCCO photojournalist witnessed several drivers unable to make the climb over St. Paul’s High Bridge on Wednesday evening, causing what he described as “pandemonium.”
In Minneapolis, the Third Avenue bridge had to close because of an accident involving a Metro Transit bus.
The state patrol reports 18 semis jackknifed across the state on Wednesday, including five cases in a two-hour span on Interstate 94 near the town of Downer, located a few miles southwest of Moorhead.

Minnesota's largest coal plant goes solar: Sherco Solar comes online
Xcel Energy has started delivering clean energy from one of the US’s largest solar farms: Sherco Solar in Minnesota. It’s a major step in the utility’s push to ditch coal and move to renewable energy across the Upper Midwest.
Sherco Solar, which recently began generating power, will eventually have a massive capacity of 710 megawatts (MW). The first part of the project is already pumping 220 MW of affordable solar electricity into the grid, with the next two phases expected to go online in 2025 and 2026.
The solar farm is being built on the site of the Sherburne County Generating Station (Sherco), Minnesota’s largest coal-fired power plant. Xcel Energy plans to retire all three of Sherco’s coal units by 2030, with the first one already offline. Once fully operational, Sherco Solar will generate enough electricity to power around 150,000 homes, replacing a significant chunk of the coal power that’s being phased out.
What’s notable about Sherco Solar is not just its size but also its cost efficiency. It’ll be the cheapest solar power on Xcel’s Upper Midwest grid, and the company is taking full advantage of federal tax credits to bring those savings to its customers. Sherco Solar is expected to cost around $1.1 billion, but it will qualify for about $480 million in federal tax credits – all of which Xcel says it’s passing on to its customers.
The solar project is also making use of the existing grid connections from the coal plant, which helps speed up the timeline and save money. “With Sherco Solar, we’re maximizing the benefits of the clean energy transition for our customers,” said Ryan Long, president of Xcel Energy for Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Sherco Solar is creating 400 union construction jobs and 12 permanent jobs for ongoing operations and maintenance. Plus, it’s set to bring about $350 million in economic benefits to the local community as the coal plant phases out.
And there’s more on the horizon: Earlier this month, Xcel started work on a long-duration battery storage project at Sherco with Form Energy, and they’ve proposed even more battery projects for the site. Xcel is also looking to expand Sherco Solar by another 200 MW in a fourth phase of the project.
The utility is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for Sherco’s workers. Xcel has a strong track record of closing or repurposing coal plants without layoffs, and it’s promising jobs to any Sherco employees who want to stay on board.
To limit power outages and make your home more resilient, consider going solar with a battery storage system. In order to find a trusted, reliable solar installer near you that offers competitive pricing, check out EnergySage, a free service that makes it easy for you to go solar. They have hundreds of pre-vetted solar installers competing for your business, ensuring you get high-quality solutions and save 20-30% compared to going it alone. Plus, it’s free to use and you won’t get sales calls until you select an installer and you share your phone number with them.
