ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan's offense is something out of the Bo Schembechler era. Then again, so is its record.
on Saturday, 41-17. That marks consecutive 7-0 starts for the first time since they did it four seasons in a row from 1971-75 and Schembechler was at his legendary peak.
Bend-but-don’t-break defense? Penn State had just one first down in the first half as the Wolverines just manhandled them. “Like coach Harbaugh said, ‘It was a butt-kicking in every which way a butt can be kicked,” quarterback J.J. McCarthy said.Sure, but can that style of play win it all? Because these days, for better or worse, the game is national, not regional, and the mockery of only coming close, as absurd as it is, can cripple a program.
Yet rather than change things up, Harbaugh appears to have doubled down. He may now start a quarterback in McCarthy who was a five-star recruit with a Verlander of an arm, but the game plan calls for a steady diet of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards . “When you're rushing for 400 yards against the No. 10 team in the country, I’ll sit back and be a part of that ride every single game,” McCarthy smiled.
“Any successful offense, you go to any program in America, you have to have a dominant offensive line,” McCarthy said. “You don’t see any Air Raid offenses win the national title. It’s where it’s done, in the trenches and that’s where the battle is won. That is all about the gritty way of playing football, the blue-collar way and I am just happy to be a part of it.McCarthy and others say they willingly joined a Wolverine program that felt stalled out under the belief they could raise it up.
