Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh was responding to a question about his quarterbacks when his mind went to another position group.

And one player in particular.

According to Harbaugh, running back Zach Charbonnet may have had the best performance in pass protection from a running back since Harbaugh arrived at U-M in 2015.

No small feat for a true freshman playing in his first collegiate game.
