Jabrill Peppers waited nearly a year for his chance.

Michigan's redshirt freshman safety didn't play a full healthy game last year in the first four, and that led to his season ending before October arrived.

So there was a lot of thinking as he healed, about what he would do and how he would do it.

At the start of Michigan's 24-17 loss to Utah last week, Peppers was too hyped and following his own script.
