OSU transfer Boren talks about leaving Michigan
July 31, 2008
SportingNews.com has an in-depth profile of Justin Boren, who transferred from Michigan to Ohio State after Rich Rodriguez took over:
Boren didn’t respond to Rodriguez’s pushing and left, saying that the “family values” that Carr had instilled in the program had eroded. Some said Boren couldn’t handle the demanding conditioning program Rodriguez and strength coach Mike Barwis had instituted. Others said Carr had coddled Boren and other starters, and when Rodriguez and his staff turned up the volume, Boren cracked.
“I don’t think Coach Carr had favorites,” former Michigan running back Mike Hart says. “(Boren) got yelled at like everybody else, even though his dad played for Bo.”
Boren also disputes the notion that he left because he couldn’t handle Rodriguez’s offense.
“Was it my first choice? Hell, no. But I could have gotten acquainted,” he says.
