Ex-Michigan coach Brady Hoke: I wouldn't have punted

Former Michigan coach Brady Hoke, now a twice-weekly national radio co-host, said he would not have punted at the end of the Michigan-Michigan State game and instead tested his defense.

The Wolverines lost to MSU on a botched punt in the final 10 seconds last Saturday at Michigan Stadium.

Hoke and SiriusXM College Sports co-host Mark Packer discussed the final play during their Tuesday show. Hoke was fired last year after four seasons as head coach and replaced by Jim Harbaugh.

"Personally, if we have the No. 1 defense in the nation I'm going to test those guys," Hoke said.
