ANN ARBOR -- When Michigan takes the field Saturday for its home opener against Cincinnati, you can expect with near certainty to see Chris Evans line up first at running back.
The sophomore earned that right after a standout freshman season that saw him rush for 600-plus yards. During preseason camp, he gave the coaching staff no reason to strip him of his title as starter.
And for now, that will remain true. But Michigan's running back situation remains fluid and open for business, running backs coach Jay Harbaugh said Wednesday.
"It's a great thing to start a game," Harbaugh said.
