#9 QB Denard Robinson
Michigan, Jr.
Last week: Nine of 13 passing for 98 yards; eight rushes for 46 yards in 34-10 win over Western Michigan.
A lightning delay led both schools to call the game with 1:27 remaining in the third quarter, but what we saw of Robinson, and how he fits into the new offense, are enough to keep Shoelace's candidacy afloat. Operating out of the shotgun, he took off on a designed run on the first play, a QB sweep he turned into an 11-yard gain. In all, Robinson ran 26 plays out of the shotgun and 12 from under center. It was a far cry from the 383 yards in last year's opener, but Robinson won't be handcuffed by this scheme.
Next up: Saturday vs. Notre Dame
