Some food for thought: Michigan is the fifth youngest team in D1 football.

I am not making excuses for Hoke, but there is something to this stat. Out of the 28 2010 Michigan recruits, there was only 1 Offensive Lineman.

Let me say that again.......28 Total recruits.....1 Offensive Lineman. (Christian Pace) So the 2010 class O line should be led bu RS Jrs and true Srs. It's not, because they weren't recruited.

Again, not making excuses..just trying to justify this sinking feeling in my gut.

I think the beef is with the coaching of this young Oline, they have regressed thru the year even our two bookend senior tackles, youth is not always an excuse just go back to 1997 and two RF and two other new starters

Exactly. It isn't back or white, either an excuse or not. It is partial excuse but not to the level of ineptitude that we have seen.
