Where would Michigan football be without Hassan Haskins? Nowhere near its dreams

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Free Press sports writer Shawn Windsor tackles the tough questions for Michigan football after the Wolverines' 21-17 victory over No. 23 Penn State on Saturday.

Who is U-M's best player on offense?

That’s a terrible question, and I can’t believe you asked it, but I’m gonna answer it anyway: Running back Hassan Haskins. Obviously, in any offense, the quarterback is the most critical. And for the Wolverines, Cade McNamara’s steady playmaking and ball protection has been crucial to their 9-1 start, including their come-from-behind win Saturday. Yet Haskins is the heart and soul of the attack.
