rady Hoke isn't much for
looking backward. He describes it as keeping a full
focus out the front window,
rather than peeking in the rearview
mirror.
That said, it's always worth noting the major potholes in any given
stretch of road. Thus informed, smart
drivers can avoid them the next time
around.
The Wolverines continue driving
toward success in the Big Ten, starting spring practice on March 16. Success in Hoke's book has to feature a
Big Ten championship, and he knows
better than anyone why his team
didn't seize one in 2012.
"You've got to go back and look
at what stopped us from winning
a championship a year ago," Hoke
mused. "That was playing on the
road. We didn't play well on the
road, for one reason or another.
Head coach Brady Hoke wants his team to
raise its competition level this spring so that
it can be part of something special — most
notably, a Big Ten championship — in the fall.
