Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh praises QB Shea Patterson in 42-7 win over Rutgers, Nov. 10, 2018. Nick Baumgardner, Freep
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — This is the Shea Patterson that Michigan football needs to get where it wants to go. And if you listen to Patterson’s teammates, this is the Patterson they’ve seen all along.
In practice, of course, where the transfer quarterback has imbued the Wolverines’ offensive attack with an improvisational talent the program hasn’t seen since … ever.
And inside the weight room and meeting spots of Schembechler Hall, where Patterson’s chill vibe and low-key swagger have lifted a team that has struggled to roll out an offense to match its often fearsome defense.
