CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Shea Patterson doesn’t look comfortable. Not often enough. Not like he did a year ago.

He doesn’t run with the same decisiveness. He doesn’t throw with the same confidence. He doesn’t make throws on the run with the same sneaky grace.

The Michigan quarterback is stuck. Between offenses. Between identities.
