Ann Arbor — They’ve said it before, and they know you know they’ve said it before.
But that hasn’t altered the public approach the Michigan offensive linemen are taking this year. They say they’re a better group than they’ve been the last few seasons in part because they’re a year more experienced, but there’s something significantly different about the same message one year later.
They have heaped a large amount of credit on offensive coordinator Tim Drevno, who also coaches the line. They have spent an entire spring practice with him and now a full preseason camp, and there’s a renewed confidence, maybe even a swagger that hasn’t been all that evident.
