He cited then the change in the offense and the grueling nature of the first workout.</span><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;">He also mentioned the difficulty the offensive linemen had constantly running back to the line of scrimmage in the no-huddle offense.</span></p><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;">"We didn't know what to expect," Boren said that day. "A lot of screaming and yelling, a lot different, but we'll get used to it. It'll just take time."</span></p><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;">His departure was not a shock after those comments, but Boren also had a strong affinity for Michigan because his father, Mike, played for the Wolverines under Bo Schembechler.</span></p>This is big blow to the small amount of optimism I have for next year.
