Michigan played a major game against Michigan State this past Saturday. Both teams were ranked. Michigan has a new coach due to past performances on the field. Here is how new coach Jim Harbaugh he has changed the culture with the football team:
Everything is a competition. The Michigan Mile that the team runs every Monday is timed, and the results are posted. The scout team scrimmages. Video captures every rep of every player, from Rudock to the skinniest walk-on. All of them are ranked every week, No. 1 to No. 105. The scout-team players are competing for spots on the travel roster.
"If you're a guy that maybe thought, 'Hey, I'm just a scout-team guy, no one is going to notice if I take a couple of reps off' -- there's no way to hide or slack off," Morgan said. "It will be exposed, that's for sure. ... It's not set in stone who is going on the trip every week. It's not just a guy that they expect to play next year. It's more like, who worked their butt off this week?"
Halfway through an already memorable season at the Big House, the answer seems to be everyone.
