Late night open thread

Still trying to picture Michigan running a spread offense

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

Picture it, because it's going to happen. Those old fart's with the prime season tickets telling everyone to sit down are going to have heart attacks when they see the types of games that are going to happen.

I'm just curious about all the existing players that don't really fit that style will fare out. Hopefully they will adapt.

I REALLY can't imagine Ryan Mallett running---at all---anything

He is one that I was thinking of - as well as the huge lineman. With this offense, not only do you have to be big, but you have to be able to run - constantly.

Michigan receivers will thrive - they are always some of the best in the country (IMHO). No matter what style of offense.

Yeah, they'll actually have to size down the offensive line and forget recruiting tight ends and get quicker running backs vs power backs.

Two things I worry about, what happened at MSU when they ran this and it didn't work late in the season in Big Ten games (Northwestern as well) and #2 Rich Rodriguez also had no problem recruiting guys like Adam 'Pacman' Jones and let them run wild
