After reviewing the film from Michigan's spring game, we provide an X's and O's breakdown about how the running backs performed and what it means for the 2015 season.
Michigan's running back situation has been grim since the miniature, yet magnificent, Mike Hart left after 2007. In the seven years before Hart graduated, a Michigan running back rushed for over 900 yards six times. In the seven years after Hart graduated, it's happened once: Fitzgerald Toussaint's 1,041 yards in 2011. Not only is that the only time a Michigan running back has topped 900 yards in a season since 2007, it's the only time one has topped 650 yards.
