From the article:

"After Lloyd Carr left Michigan, so did Mixon."

Nonsense.  He left sometime *before* the end of Lloyd's last season when it appeared that he was being left behind on the practice field.

Notice that he was eligible in '08 for Kent State:

That means he couldn't have played in any games in '07 ... Lloyd's last year.

Want proof?

In retrospect, sure, it would have been nice to have him around.  I guess he was a late bloomer.

That not only RR's defensive staff but LC's defensive staff sometimes overlooked talentright in front of them....
