ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There might be shades of Maurice Hurst within Michael Dwumfour. The essence of Chase Winovich might eventually be found inside of Kwity Paye. While Paye, a true freshman, and Dwumfour, a redshirt freshman, aren’t there yet, they could get there within the next couple of years. Right now, they’re getting acclimated […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — With a low center of gravity, great vision, sure hands and somewhere in the neighborhood of a 4.45-second 40-yard dash, Michigan running back Karan Higdon possesses one of the most impressive bursts in all of college football. Prior to the start of the season, Wolverines quarterback John O’Korn said that he […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Erase Janarion Grant’s 65-yard touchdown run, and Michigan held Rutgers to barely a shred of production on the ground on Saturday, just 31 carries for 29 yards. That’s it. “It was just a misfit … just a misfit. That’s probably one play that we have to clean up,” Wolverines sophomore linebacker […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Ever since his commitment to Michigan, Brandon Peters has been recognized as a potential star quarterback for coach Jim Harbaugh. Really, that recognition came before his verbal. He was already a valued prospect, ranking No. 6 among pro-stylers, before saying “I do” to Wolverines. In 2016, his true freshman season, he […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Other than a missed extra-point attempt in a 42-13 road loss to No. 2-ranked Penn State, Michigan redshirt freshman Quinn Nordin has been nearly perfect during his first season as the full-time point-after and field goal kicker. Having made 18 of 19 PAT attempts and 14 of 16 field goal tries, […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan wanted to burn Wilton Speight‘s redshirt status late during the 2014 season, his first year on campus. However, that never happened. But the move was heavily considered by former coach Brady Hoke. The next season, the Wolverines welcomed transfer Jake Rudock from Iowa, who eventually won the starting quarterback job and […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — An increasingly vital component to Michigan‘s offense, Grant Perry is on the verge of smashing his previous two-year reception totals; he needs just seven more to eclipse the combined 27 catches he put up as a true freshman and sophomore. Really, he wasn’t supposed to become the Wolverines’ lead receiver. In all […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — When it comes dispersing duties and calling offensive plays, there is a chain of command at Michigan, one that ultimately starts and ends with the final say from Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh. With that said, and through seven games, the Wolverines (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) have yet to find their offensive […] → Read More
It has been a few hours, so the Michigan Wolverines have had some time to recuperate, regroup and heal from their 42-13 blowout loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions. Ugly, not as anticipated and, quite possibly, the Wolverines’ worst loss under third-year coach Jim Harbaugh — Saturday night’s public beat-down courtesy of the No. 2-ranked Nittany Lions […] → Read More
Michigan State is 6-1 and 4-0 in the Big Ten. Come again? Yes, it’s real. And Saturday’s 17-9 homecoming win over Indiana proved that things are indeed on the upswing in East Lansing. Through seven games, the No. 18-ranked Spartans — who temporarily fell from grace with a 3-9 season in 2016 — have won […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sooner or later, something is going to happen for Michigan‘s offense. It may take 25 pumps on the well handle, or it may take 50. It may even take 100. Whatever the number, things are going to finally burst open for the struggling Wolverines’ offense, says offensive coordinator Tim Drevno. In […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Entertain the idea. Play around with scenarios. Ponder the unknowns. Go ahead and spend time questioning Michigan‘s quarterback situation — but you’d only be wasting your time. John O’Korn, a fifth-year senior, isn’t going anywhere. He’s the guy for Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh, and once Harbaugh gives the keys to a […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — In 2016, Michigan‘s nationally elite defense capped Penn State running back Saquon Barkley at 15 carries for 59 yards during a 49-10 win in Ann Arbor. This season, though, might be a different story, as Barkley has appeared nearly unstoppable through the first six games of the season for the 6-0 […] → Read More
On the surface, everything has gone well for the Michigan Wolverines. Despite major flaws at quarterback, they’re 5-1 (2-1 Big Ten) and coming off two important Big Ten road wins. They’re still ranked in the Associated Press Top 25, too. Things could be worse. Granted, they’re nowhere near the level most expected on offense, but […] → Read More
After forcing Indiana to punt on its first drive, Michigan appeared ready to play a clean, crisp game in Bloomington against the Hoosiers. They didn’t score a touchdown, but the Wolverines did get a 40-yard field goal from Quinn Nordin on their first drive. Things looked good for a little while. Then the penalties hit […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan has never lost back-to-back regular season games under third-year coach Jim Harbaugh. This past Saturday, his then-No. 7 Wolverines lost 14-10 to Michigan State, which has beaten his teams twice in three meetings. Now ranked at No. 17, the Wolverines (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) will try to avoid another hiccup […] → Read More
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Brian Lewerke didn’t do everything right Saturday, but the quarterback did enough to lead Michigan State to a 14-10 win over then-No. 7 Michigan in Ann Arbor. That was a major personal accomplishment, not to mention a pivotal moment for MSU. Also worth noting: It was the third time that a […] → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The right side of Michigan‘s offensive line was at its worst Saturday against Michigan State. Following a humbling 14-10 home loss to the Spartans, it’s now even more difficult to explain and rationalize what haunts the formerly No. 7-ranked Wolverines (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten). It’s the right side, of course, but […] → Read More
For the second time in three years, a Jim Harbaugh-coached Michigan Wolverines team lost a heartbreaker to rival Michigan State. → Read More
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — All smiles and jokes, Chase Winovich seemed to thoroughly enjoy his latest interview session with the local media. Jovial and personable, the Michigan defensive end spoke with great energy while discussing his ascent from throw-in guy on the Wolverines’ defensive line — who had played tight end and fullback prior to […] → Read More
