opinion: Greeted with impossible expectations, Tate Forcier's departure from Michigan was inevitable ending

Quarterback Tate Forcier exited the Michigan football program, but not before leaving behind a few memorable moments.

Almost anything seemed possible on the bright, blue April afternoon.

More than 50,000 fans came to the Michigan football team’s annual spring game that day, despite the memories of a 3-9 season still fresh. They had come that day to see Tate Forcier.

Forcier was Rich Rodriguez’s first prized recruit. Signed that winter, he inherited a heap of expectations after the quarterback struggles the previous season.

Forcier fed those expectations. Desperate to find someone to believe in again, the crowd was rollicking after he completed 10 of 13 passes and rushed for 46 yards.

Thousands followed Forcier out of the stadium afterward and waited for him to emerge from the locker room. When he did, they serenaded him with chants and cheers.

With one spring football game performance against the second-team defense, Tate Forcier had been proclaimed and anointed the savior of Michigan football.

In retrospect, there was nowhere for Forcier to go from that day but down.
