he was capable of in two contests, tal-
lying 137 yards and a score on 30 car-
ries (4.7-yard average) in wins over
Central Michigan and Northwestern.
3. Shane Morris — The lefty be-
came only the sixth U-M true fresh-
man since 1972 to start a game under
center when he commanded the hud-
dle against Kansas State in the Buffalo
Wild Wings Bowl. His 63.2-percent
completion rate was U-M's second-
best mark by a rookie signal-caller in
his first start, behind only Tate Forcier
(65.0 percent against Western Michi-
gan in 2009).
4. Kyle Bosch — The 6-5, 303-
pounder took over the left guard post
early in the first quarter against In-
diana and then held the starting job
each of the next three weeks against
Michigan State, Nebraska and North-
western. He is only the fifth offensive
lineman in program history to start as
a true freshman and joins only Dean
Dingman (three starts in 1987) to start
more than one game.
Last season, sophomore Jake Butt set U-M rookie tight end records for receptions (20) and
receiving yards (235).
