While Michigan’s running game made certain improvements last season over where it was the year prior, here is little question that it still wasn’t where it needed to be. The Wolverines ranked eighth in running the ball within the Big Ten, which for a power-minded pro-style team isn’t a great sign. Despite those struggles, senior fullback Joe Kerridge sees potential in what the Maize and Blue can accomplish this fall under the direction of Jim Harbaugh.
“We always put an emphasis on the running game and we’ve got to show up this year,” Kerridge noted.
