Last year's top returning rusher, Brandon Minor, offers an array of experience and knowledge to a backfield loaded with young talent. Minor led the Wolverines on the ground in the season opener against Utah, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the team's rushing total, and sealed U-M's first victory of the year with an acrobatic leap to cap a 15-yard touchdown run. Through the Miami (Ohio) tilt, the Richmond, Va., native has accrued 639 yards on 137 carries (4.7 avg.) and has scored four touchdowns in his career.
