runs 4.5 at 6'5" which is freakish for his size.
...attempt to defeat the WR stalk block by the Packers' corner on that play.
Multiple practice reports have said that the Pistol is our primary formation on offense. So don't be surprised to see it extensively.
Sounds like the Pistol is our base offense even though we'll be multiple like we will be on defense.

I expect those plays in the Michigan uniform this Fall.

How much do subs make? $100 a day? This is just sad.

Pretty sure he was in attendance on opening day in 1927.
is how many different drinks does he have on his desk?
Hadn't he been planning on retiring any day now, anyway? I would assume he's just doing this as a favor to someone, or for something to do.

we make sweeping assumptions about FJ, let's just appreciate what he's done for us in the past and leave it at that. He may just be subbing for something to do - he's been mentoring kids for years. Probably aligns with his interests not because he can't afford to put food on his table.
You're making baseless assumptions about why he might be doing this.
He has ties to the school. His two boys went there. He's probably been involved there for a long time. Maybe he prefers getting out and doing things to sitting at home?
Who knows? Not me and you. At 64, he probably also needs to kill some time to max out his retirement benefits. So what to do?
Also your assumptions about his job search, if he is actually doing one, are just stupid. The only thing holding him back is his age. He has a long resume with a lot of success, much of it not at Michigan. A younger Fred Jackson would easily move on to another good job.
Jeremy Jackson went to Ann Arbor Huron and I'm assuming his other kid did too.
I thought this was taking place at Huron

First and foremost, not a bad action shot of Fred, and second, that is an impressive collection of pennants from all over the world of collegiate athletics. Was that Santa Clara in the background? Can't tell on the machine I am on at the moment. Whoever has amassed those - hats off to them indeed.

It's not terribly surprising he would say that -- I'm sure there are a lot of "differences of opinion" among the coaches about who to recruit -- but it is surprising he would say that where it could be heard.
On the other hand, it's not at all surprising he would not be aware of the possibility that one of the kids sitting in his classroom staring at their phones might be photographing him and posting what he says, live on the Internet.
and FJ actually did in fact say that. It doesn't make sense as Smith was not a highly rated RB (3* on Rivals). It says he had an OSU offer, but other than that, his other offers are not impressive.
Also, Green was the #1 RB in the country his year and everybody wanted the kid (his offer sheet is amazing). Unless his stock fell rapidly and his offers quickly became "un-commitable" he would not have come to Michigan if he didn't feel really wanted.
Yes it will.
(I mean, since seemingly we're just stating conclusions without analysis here.)
I was just riffing off the "the pistol won't work in the B1G" comment, which seemed to be a conclusion without any support. I meant it as good-natured ribbing of Anonymosity's post - not as football analysis.
FWIW, I think that the pistol could work here (or for any college team), and unless I'm misremembering it we've seen some pistol in recent seasons. I'm not sure I'd want to see it as our base offense, but that's a personal preference rather than a solid football opinion (and it depends on who wins the QB derby). The bottom line is I want to see more Ws, and trust this staff to find them for the team.
Shotgun, under center, pistol? In Harbaugh I trust.
ISO up the middle is great if the other team can't stop it. Favorite play in the 4th quarter with a two touchdown lead.
The spread is dead
It's why Urban swore off it when he arrived at OSU and vowed to never ever use "that godforsaken offense"
oops
Well, Freehotdog is 16-17 years old. That explains a lot............
He needs to learn how to complete a forward pass first. He has enough trouble with that. He is the most mobile QB we have though. Perhaps Harbaugh can find something for him to do besides sending in the play call to Rudock and/or Malzone.
I have to think it's been discussed and it's been decided this guy has dug a hole so deep that he will make a good joke for the opening paragraph of any front page article covering an improving Shane Morris this year.
