THE WOLVERINE 2016 FOOTBALL PREVIEW ■ 11 MICHIGAN FOOTBALL Jerry Hanlon, architect of some of the best offensive lines in Michigan football history, maintains the running game remains one of the Wolverines' biggest concerns going into the season. He'd like to see more of the effort that gutted Florida's Gators on Jan. 1 in the Citrus Bowl. The Wolverines rushed for 225 yards in the 41-7 rout, and senior tailback De'Veon Smith led the way with 109 yards on 25 carries. "That was a surprise, to be honest with you," Hanlon said. "The big surprise to me was that we were able to run the ball as well as we did, and we mixed that with a good passing attack. That made it a great football game for Michigan. "We just have to improve upon that. You have to be consistent, and that's what we're looking for — not just doing it once in a while or having a big game, but having consistency in your football program." Hanlon maintains — with an old offensive line coach's classic gruffness — that if the blocking is right, Michigan has more than enough horses to run the race. "[Ty] Isaac was a pleasant surprise in the spring game," Hanlon pointed out. "I thought he ran with a little more power and looked like what we were expecting out of him when he first came here. "Of course, I've always been a devotee of De'Veon Smith, be - cause he played for one of my former players and I maybe helped recruit him a little bit. He's always been one of my favorites. He's going to give you his full effort, and I'll guarantee you, he'll make some plays. He'll run over somebody, he'll gain yardage after being hit. "And Drake [Johnson] is one of those kids who has big games. He has to be more consistent, but an offensive line will make him consistent."
