Woodson says it's hard to watch Michigan football

By LARRY LAGE,

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Charles Woodson says "it's hard to watch" Michigan play football.

The Green Bay Packers cornerback says he's even getting flak from a current teammate who played for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

"Can you believe that?" Woodson asked reporters Tuesday during a visit to Ann Arbor.

Woodson won the Heisman Trophy and led the Wolverines to the national championship in 1997.

Michigan (5-4) has lost four straight Big Ten games and could turn a 4-0 start into a 5-7 flop a year after college football's winningest program lost a school-record nine games last year in Rich Rodriguez's debut season.

Woodson says he and former teammate Marcus Ray exchange messages about the once-proud program.

"I won't share the texts with you," he said.
