OCTOBER 2024 ❱ THE WOLVERINE 39 ❱ MICHIGAN FOOTBALL carry, led by senior Donovan Edwards at 5.1. Edwards ran 8 times for 41 yards. Establishing the run was a goal head- ing into the Sept. 14 matchup with Ar- kansas State, and the Wolverines did exactly that, gashing the Red Wolves with 301 rushing yards and 3 scores on 44 carries. Graduate student Kalel Mullings led the way with 153 yards and 2 scores on 15 attempts, while Edwards started in the backfield and chipped in 82 yards and a touchdown on 17 rushes. The 301-yard performance marked Michigan's largest rushing yard total since a 34-13 win over Washington in last season's national championship game. Edwards was a huge part of that 303-yard rushing output in Houston. Mullings became Michigan's first rusher over 150 yards since Edwards hit that mark in consecutive weeks (at Ohio State, vs. Purdue) at the end of the 2022 season. That was Michigan's 14th time rush- ing for 300-plus yards over the last 10 seasons (since 2015) but only the second occurrence since the start of the 2023 campaign. Grad student running back Kalel Mullings had 36 carries for 270 yards (7.5 average) and 2 touch- downs through three games. His yardage total ranked first on the team and fifth in the Big Ten.
