Michigan Football: Offensive identity should be based on wide receivers

There was a lot to take away from Michigan football‘s performance at Wisconsin Saturday but one thing that was clear to anyone watching was the Wolverines lack of identity on offense.

Back in January, we all thought hiring Josh Gattis was genius. It seemed like it was the perfect solution to an offensive system that felt behind the times.

But maybe it wasn’t the system, after all, maybe it was coach Jim Harbaugh.

Last season, it wasn’t necessarily the system that let down Michigan football, it was the playcalling. The Wolverines didn’t lose at Ohio State because they didn’t have the right offensive system, it’s because they came out running when they should have been throwing.
