ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Two days after enduring a loss that sent shock waves through the college football world, Michigan coach Lloyd Carr already has shifted his focus forward.

He is doing so while much of the national attention remains centered on what lingering effects the Wolverines' historic 34-32 season-opening loss to Appalachian State will have on the Wolverines..

"What we have to do in a short time here is become a more disciplined team, a smarter team and a team that executes better," Carr said at his weekly news conference.

Appalachian State's win at Michigan Stadium marked the first time a Football Championship Subdivision team — formerly I-AA — beat a team ranked in The Top 25.
