...Offensively

So when is the last time Michigan has had an offense that CONSISTENTLY put up at least 35 points. Michigan offenses have came into seasons heralded as top in the country, but typically the performance on the field doesn't quite live up to the hype. Nothing against Lloyd Carr, but dynamic wasn't exactly his favorite expression when it came to the playbook. Clumsy offensive play typically led to long third downs and too many stalled drives for the talent that was out there on the field. Now, last year's offensive display was THE WORST I could have ever imagined - after having so much confidence and built up excitement going into the Utah game. That's what you get when you start a quarterback that literally was incapable of moving an offense forward down the field. Seriously, think back to the Penn State game. It was 17-17 late in the third quarter and Sheridan had to relieve Threet and you just knew that the offense had literally no hope of moving forward. Anyway, enough on Sheridan and inept play at the position, I want to get at what this offense could be with the right athletes. Not only will it be exciting, we are going to see speed and depth at the skill positions like never before. An opened up playbook that will give Tate - or whatever athlete that is playing behind center - options on every play. Like Tate was quoted in saying that in this offense there should never be an incompletion. Let's hope he can at least be around or above 60% completion.

Bottom line: when the system is working . NOBODY will want to play Michigan. And I've said it before, I want the Big House to be a place where teams dread coming to. It's time to get some serious winning streaks started in the big house....
