Ann Arbor — Twice on third-down-and-13 in Michigan’s season opener, Ty Isaac was called on to produce.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh loved Isaac’s big rushing gains on what he called off-schedule runs, and Isaac said he’s more than capable of being successful in any similar situations.
“I’ll never doubt my own abilities,” Isaac said this week. “So it can be third-and-30 and they call my number, I feel like I’m going to go get it.”
Isaac rushed for 114 yards on 11 carries in the season opener against Florida and will continue to share the running back duties with Chris Evans and Karan Higdon as the Wolverines prepare for their home opener against Cincinnati on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
