Filiaga vows Michigan offensive line will 'smack people in the mouth'

Ann Arbor — Chuck Filiaga was new to the Michigan offensive line last fall, but the comments about his position group got old. Fast.

Filiaga, who helped lead Aledo High to a Texas state championship in 2016, redshirted last fall and expects to make a push for playing time this season at tackle or guard. He just won't share his likely landing spot.

“Surprise, surprise for everybody,” Filiaga said recently, smiling while being coy. “It’s fun to mess with people a little bit.”

But don’t mess with his teammates on the offensive line, who have faced the brunt of criticism the last several years because of Michigan’s lackluster offensive showing.
