Michigan's innovative offense could pay playoff dividends

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Don't let the fullbacks or the suffocating defense or even that Schembechler-esque Block M ball cap that the coach just hurled through the air in disgust fool you.

It's tempting to watch Khalid Hill -- the Wolverines' 265-pound leader in rushing touchdowns -- burrow into the end zone behind a phalanx of offensive linemen and think the Big Ten's most potent scoring attack is an old school operation. It's tempting to see Jim Harbaugh undress a referee (verbally) and himself (literally) on the sideline right before Hill's touchdown and believe that the man rebuilding the Big House is a throwback to the tough-guy head coaching era.
