From what I heard involving a side line then a club house dust up with Harbaugh supposedly before, during and then after the osu game, there was bad blood between the two of them. I suspect Higdon based his decision to leave on a combination of emotion and bad advice from his people. I've got no insider info, just my eyes and ears. He did not play well against osu, he's a notoriously shitty blocker and needs a hole to accelerate through. Then you have comments much later from coaching staff that the game plan was fine it was poorly executed (I'd take some exception to that but we've gone over the turtle pace of JH's offense that had no hi-gear whatsoever). Blocking has to be very precise in Harbaugh's 2018 offense and osu's D had that figured out. So, a running back that needs a hole, can't power through tackles, can't block for the QB very well (never seemed to like that role) wasn't going to shine in the osu game.
I was at the UF game. There was a pall over the team much like RR's last game v. Mississippi. If you watch and listen carefully to Patterson's post spring game interview comments he was uncomfortable talking about the 2018 season but, to me, it was pretty clear he didn't like Harbaugh's system on offense ..... I think there were some unhappy campers on the 2018 offense and Higdon may have been the chief complainer. He does have attitude and not necessarily in a bad way. He's vocal and Patterson is more likely to keep his mouth shut and do what he's told to do.
Anyway, feel sorry for the guy's draft situation. He was a decent, not great running back for Michigan and that the NFL wasn't interested pretty much sums up his limitations. That he thought he was much better than NFL scouts thought he was signals he got pumped about himself by the people around him with a bit of ego biting him the ass. Wish him well but it's gonna be a tough row to hoe for him if he wants to pursue a professional sport career on some level.
