It has been convenient that, leading into the final game of the regular season, Ohio State has been able to rely on the Jim Harbaugh-led Michigan offense being notoriously underperforming and outdated. Unfortunately, Jim Harbaugh seems to have noticed that this could be a problem moving forward. And it looks like the offense might be about to change as first-year offensive coordinator Josh Gattis, fresh from Alabama, looks to revamp what has become a reliably stagnant offense. Chief among the changes for the fall include that Harbaugh has given up play calling duties on offense.
The change has been a long time coming, especially since it was in fact last year that was supposed to be “Michigan’s year” as the Wolverines attempted an ill-fated revenge tour that died at the doorstep of the Horseshoe last November.
