OCTOBER 2019 THE WOLVERINE 13 INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS THEY SAID IT PHOTO BY PER KJELDSEN PHOTO BY PER KJELDSEN $159,966 Is annually devoted to each athlete on Jim Harbaugh's roster according to Overtime, John U. Bacon's new book (see more on pages 40-42). 15 Michigan players were included on the Senior Bowl watch list, which led the country. The second-place program was Auburn with 13. The Wolverines included were: offensive linemen Ben Bredeson, Jon Runyan Jr. and Michael Onwenu, defensive end Michael Danna, defensive tackles Michael Dwumfour and Carlo Kemp, tight ends Sean McKeon and Nick Eubanks, punter Will Hart, cornerback Lavert Hill, linebacker Khaleke Hudson, safety Josh Metellus, quarterback Shea Patterson, edge rusher Josh Uche and run- ning back Tru Wilson. A few of the players listed — Dwumfour, Eubanks and Hart — have a year of eligibil- ity remaining. "I can't say enough about Aidan Hutchinson, in terms of that guy's motor and physical skills. When they got into the second overtime, he didn't seem to be running out of gas, and he made two huge plays. "He's a sophomore. I'm interviewing him on the field after the game and he made one of the great comments. It's within two minutes in real time of him being in with [junior defensive end] Kwity Paye on the sack that forced the fumble that sealed the deal. "He said, 'Wisconsin's on the clock.' For a sophomore to basically wrap up the interview with, okay, next … it impressed me. "I think that kid's going to be an All-American. I think he's going to be a captain. I think he is going to be a difference maker in a lot of games this year." — U-M sideline reporter Doug Karsch, in TheWolverine.com's 'From The Sidelines' article following the 24-21, double-overtime victory over Army Sept. 7 "You don't build a facility like this unless you have great people sup- porting you and helping you be the best you can be. That's always what Michigan has stood for. "When I came here in 1980, there was no Schembechler Hall — it was a one-story building with a few rooms in it and we put 105 people in it, and nobody complained. We thought we were lucky." — Former U-M head coach Lloyd Carr (1995-2007) on the Inside Michigan Football radio show Sept. 9, discussing U-M's newly remodeled facilities "I also think that he's [Jim Harbaugh] probably the most underappreciated coach in college football. When you look at really what he's done since he's got there, seven years prior to Jim Harbaugh, they're av- eraging six and a half wins a year. They're averaging nine and a half now." — FOX college football analyst Brady Quinn on Sept. 11 12 Multiple-time captains have pre- ceded senior guard Ben Bredeson in Michigan football history.
