Dear Michigan Wolverines football program:
If you continue to run the same offense you ran three decades ago, you give a Division 1-AA program a chance to defend you.
If you continue to refuse to learn how to stop a non-conventional offense, you give a Division 1-AA program a chance to score on you.
If you just assume that teams are going to be caught up in the hype of the “Big House” experience, you give a Division 1-AA program a chance to beat you.
Believe it or not Michigan, other programs across the nation use a spread offense. Other programs have mobile quarterbacks. So if you continue to play 1970-style football, more programs like Appalachian State are going to roll into your house and beat you like the Mountaineers did Saturday. Gone are the days where programs lie down at your mercy because you’re rated fifth in the nation. Update your schemes or risk falling even further behind your competition.
