Sorry for missing this earlier. Michigan really struggled running the ball with anyone other than Denard. While everyone shares some blame in that, I think it has more to do with the offensive line than with the backs. The backs have to be able to trust that the hole will be there, and I don't think Michigan's offensive line is consistently creating displacement at the point of attack so as to earn that trust. Denard, being a freak of an athlete, is able to make something out of nothing, or a lot out of a little. But in order for Michigan to successfully run the ball with the running backs, I think the offensive line needs to take the next step.

-Our whole offense is Denard, so whats the point if their whole offense is Braxton?
-The ND game was a terrible loss, but I agree that it finally taught Borges that Denard needs to be run first
-I watched a post game video on ESPN of the midwest and Ohio nation reporters, and they were talking about how explosive the offense was scoring 60+ points and they havent scratched the surface. First of all, the offense is formidable, but 14 of the points were from special teams/defense, so lets not go overboard. And Nebraska scored nearly 40 points, that should be disconcerting for their D.
