Zach Charbonnet began his Michigan football career with a bang.

Although it's not a situation that his coaches would like to repeat again.

Charbonnet, a true freshman, had 33 carries for 100 yards and three touchdowns in his second collegiate game, a 24-21 double overtime win over Army. In his first career game, he had eight carries for 90 yards against Middle Tennessee State.
