Charles Woodson on Michigan closing the gap with Ohio State: “We’ll make it up. We’ll be fine.”

Every once and awhile we get a sound bite from former Michigan player Charles Woodson. To be fair, he’s usually pretty sensible when it comes to his analysis after games and isn’t afraid to hold the Wolverine program accountable for the play on the field.

Other times though when he’s not feeling deflated after watching arch rival Ohio State dismantle his alma-mater again, Woodson can put on the pom-poms and say things with emotion. Of course, you wouldn’t expect anything else from the former Michigan legend, just like you wouldn’t expect anything different from a former Ohio State great when it comes to cheering and believing in his team.

After another defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes, much has been discussed about the gap in talent between Ohio State and Michigan. TMZ Sports caught up with Woodson and asked him the same thing. Will the Wolverines ever close the gap on OSU.

“Yeah, we’ll make it up,” said Woodson. “We’ll be fine.”

He was then asked if Jim Harbaugh should be there for another year, and if the job were ever to come open if he’d be interested.

“Well he’s (Harbaugh) there as long as I know, so we’re going to work with that,” the former Heisman winner said … “I can’t coach. I can play. I can’t coach, I play.”

But perhaps more fitting than anything was a loud O-H cheer as Woodson turned away and continued to walk on away from the questions from TMZ Sports.
