Ann Arbor – From Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to running backs coach Jay Harbaugh, the plan for freshman back Zach Charbonnet has been to lessen his workload coming off his big presence in the Army game the second game of the season.
After opening the season with eight carries for 90 yards and high praise for picking up blitzes against Middle Tennessee, Charbonnet then rushed 33 times for 100 yards. Two weeks later – Michigan was off the week before Wisconsin – Charbonnet had two carries for six yards as the Wolverines gained only 40 rushing yards in the 35-14 loss.
