Last week I insisted that if Michigan football wants to develop any kind of offensive identity or consistency, they need to take the ball out of Shea Patterson's wee porcelain doll hands and at least try and conjure a reasonable facsimile of a Running Team. My reasoning for this was that Patterson has been overall disappointing as Michigan's signal-caller, and given that the most functional part of their offense had been the running game, it might be smart for Harbaugh and Gattis to stick with what works. This turned out to be extremely dumb.
I also predicted that they wouldn't do that, which did turn out to be correct!
