Ann Arbor – Sometimes in the split second after he releases the ball, Michigan backup quarterback Joe Milton knows there’s some serious juice on his throw.

Milton is 6-foot-5, 245 pounds and not only throws a hard ball, but he can throw it far. Really far. But it’s the extra juice on his throws that his teammates and coaches have always discussed. Cornerback Lavert Hill said he won’t try to catch anything Milton throws, instead opting to knock it down, and receiver Nico Collins admits that a Milton pass can hurt.
