Still trying to picture Michigan running a spread offense

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

I'm just curious about all the existing players that don't really fit that style will fare out. Hopefully they will adapt.; December 18, 2007 at 8:33 AM

Michigan receivers will thrive - they are always some of the best in the country (IMHO). No matter what style of offense.; December 18, 2007 at 9:27 AM
Johnny Action Space Punk said...: 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; December 18, 2007 at 10:19 AM
