Former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson ran for at least 1,000 yards from 2010-12, but the last Michigan running back to rush for at least 1,000 yards in one season was Fitzgerald Toussaint back in 2011 with 1,041 yards.
Michigan may have its first 1,000-yard rusher by a running back since Toussaint in the form of Karan Higdon.
The junior has been a revelation for the Wolverines’ rushing attack this year. In his last four games, Higdon has carried the ball 74 times for 603 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns. That is insane considering he was the third running back in the game in the opener against Florida, and also in the shadow of preseason hype machine Chris Evans.
