Spread destined for UM, no matterRodriguez says he's used it for 17 years

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was asked yesterday if he ever thought of delaying his implementation of the spread offense until the Wolverines had players more suited to that scheme.
In a word - no.
"It wasn't really a decision to make because that's what we do," Rodriguez said. "That's the offense I've been running for 17 years, and there's so many different elements of the spread, we can feature different things - whether it's the pass or the run or various formations out of the spread. No, we were going to run the offense we've been running the last 17 years."
UM is last in the Big Ten in scoring (20.8 points per game), total offense (285 yards per game), and passing (148), and next to last in rushing (136.2).
