Michigan WR Braylon Edwards versus Notre Dame CB Vontez Duff Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr has anointed Edwards, a 6'3", 200-pound sophomore, as the next big-play wideout in the David Terrell-Marquise Walker tradition. Edwards is averaging 19.2 yards per catch on his nine receptions, three of them touchdowns. Duff, a 5'11", 194-pound junior, has shown some star power as well. He has scored two touchdowns this season, including a 33-yard interception return last Saturday that sealed the Irish's 24-17 victory over Purdue.
