ANN ARBOR -- Michigan's offense has a long way to go.
Coach speak or reality?

Coach Rich Rodriguez said Wednesday after the Wolverines' third preseason practice the offense is, not surprisingly, behind. Camp opened Monday.

"I thought it was an average practice overall," Rodriguez said. "I don't think we progressed a whole lot. I liked what I saw from the defense.
