It wasn’t so much what Devontae Booker did — senior runningback for the Utah Utes who ran for 1,512 yards and 10 touchdowns last season — but what he didn’t do that gave the Michigan defense fits in Thursday night’s 24-17 loss in Salt Lake City.
Booker entered Week 1 of the 2015 schedule as Utah’s most dangerous offensive weapon, having racked up more than 100 yards of total offense in nine of the team’s final 10 games last season. Because of that, he drew a ton of attention from the Michigan defense, so much that it opened up holes for other Utes to make big plays.
