The Lloyd Carr era at Michigan produced great moments, great players, and even a National Title. Many of the players who played under Carr have achieved tremendous success since leaving Ann Arbor, both on and off the field. One player who has achieved a lot is former Michigan running back Mike Hart.
For my money, Hart is the greatest running back in Michigan history. He is currently Michigan’s all-time leading rusher with 5,040 career rushing yards. He also ranks first in school history in rushing attempts and third in rushing touchdowns. Hart was small in stature but had excellent vision, strength, and could make a cut on a dime.
