Hansen discussed the changes to Michigan’s offense under new coordinator Chip Lindsey.

“The way we think about moving the ball has definitely changed,” Hansen said. “I think Chip Lindsey’s offense just came in and brought a dynamic passing game. We can really move the ball down the field. Spring ball, I just felt like there have been a lot more explosive plays, and we can really mix it up with creativity, throwing the ball down the field and going to the classic Michigan ground and pound, run through your face [offense].

“I think it’s a lot of new concepts that I wasn’t really aware of as just a freshman last year. A lot of choice routes. A lot of zone options and screens that we’re running. A lot of creative ways to get our playmakers the ball.”

Tight ends were a big part of Lindsey’s offense at North Carolina, and they’re expected to be going forward at Michigan as well.

“It’s encouraging,” Hansen said. “And when Chip came in, he had that emphasis that, ‘We’re gonna get our tight ends the ball, so you guys gotta get ready and go out and execute, do what we ask you.’ So, it is definitely encouraging to see the tight ends in his offense.”

Morgan, meanwhile, had a big freshman season at Michigan but wasn’t as productive as a sophomore. He discussed how he views last year and what’s ahead for himself.

“I just feel like last year we just had a few issues,” Morgan said. “But that’s just what that was. But I just feel like this year, it’s a different culture. Our culture has really been established this year, and it’s good for our team because we got a lot of young people. If we have a culture that’s established for everybody to follow, then we will be moving in a great direction.”
