The junior offensive lineman of the Michigan football team, Justin Boren, said that he has left the Michigan team citing that the family value program have taken a beating in the team lately. Boren, who started in every NCAA tournament game for his team last season, said that the mutual respect, support and the team work in the Michigan football fraternity was there for everyone to see and he feels that these things now do not have any value at all.
The offensive lineman said that he was unable to concentrate on the game due to these short comings in the team and hence has decided to part ways with the team. He also revealed that he did not fully appreciate the no-huddle spread offensive tactics of the new coach Rich Rodriguez as it was physically very challenging. Boren, who has received good comments and reviews for his game, would have been an offensive line starter for the Wolverines’ in the coming season.
