Is Michigan good to go at running back?

Every time a good player at Michigan leaves due to graduation or entering the NFL Draft, there’s a concern about replacing that production. It isn’t easy filling the void of players like Jabrill Peppers, Devin Bush, and who we’ll focus on for a moment, running back Karan Higdon.

Higdon was Michigan’s go-to guy at the position the last two seasons, amassing 2,172 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Heading into Michigan’s Week 1 game versus Middle Tennessee State, there was talk that Tru Wilson would be the starter, and Jim Harbaugh mentioned that Zach Charbonnet was “coming on like a freight train”.
