Denard Career Rushing Record Update
During the game last night, Denard had 90 yards of rushing, bringing his season total up to 441 after 4 games. At this point in his career he trails Pat White (4,480) by 810 yards with 8 games to go.
So Denard needs to average 101.25 yards on the ground for the remainder of the season to break the record

Do bowl games and big ten championship games count?
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:50 AM ^
... they have since 2002. More than you want to know can be found here:

…next question.
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:17 AM ^
90 yards per game if you factor in a bowl game. 81 yards per game if Michigan plays in the B1G championship game and a bowl game.

Denard needs to be a bit more selfish sometimes to help the team win. He'll be much more effective tucking and running and gaining solid yardage than sitting back waiting for a receiver to get open. Tuck it and run a few times on designed pass plays and you give the D something extra to think about, then later in the game when they start to cheat up is when you start to distribute it off to your receivers. The quickness and speed of Denard opens up opportunities from the defense. If he just takes what is given to him we'll be fine.

Relax. I am pretty sure Denard and the coaching staff feel the same way. I don't think the original post has much influence on the team's goals, motivation, or focus.

If you "don't care," why did you both click on the thread and make a comment?
Denard doesn't care about individual stats, but it's OK for fans to want to see good things happen for him. Denard sacrificed a lot of personal glory to stay at Michigan. We owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. I hope Michigan runs the table in the Big Ten, and Denard gets the record.

I would love to see Denard have the record, he deserves it. In ten years, it will be nice to see his name come up in the record books. I won't remember yesterday, I'll remember UTL 2011.

And in keeping with the "good with the bad" theme, Denard also surpassed Chad Henne to hold the prestigious first place in career interceptions. Equally impressive in just 2 and 1/4 seasons as a starter

Denard surpassed Henne as Michigan's all-time leader in total offensive yards last night as well.

people focus on the good when he plays well (see: all of last weeks posts). people focus on the bad when he plays poorly. When he has the worst game of his career in a loss, more of the negatives will be disucssed
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:52 AM ^
he did play his freshman year too dont forget, got at least a couple hundered yards rushing and a few throwing then too despite his obvious struggles. still impressive though not trying to take away anything from him.
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:53 AM ^
...for as much pressure and responsibility has been on him, it would seem fitting if Denard ended his career holding all of our individual offensive records.
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
Henne never won a BCS bowl or beat Ohio state.. I have love for him but let's throw that down if that's how you want to be.

That's what Denard (I'm-going-go-miss-you!) Robinson had yesterday. And Borges should've run him some more?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:25 PM ^
Who cares?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
If only these guys would focus on the right things. How is a post by a fan going to impact the focus on the TEAM?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^

He passed Henne last night. That's another record he has.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
Here are a few other Denard Robinson highlights:
- 8 of the top 10 Michigan single game performance for yards of total offense
- 5 of the top 10 Big Ten performances for rushing yards by a QB in a single game
- 2 of the top 5 Michigan single-season performances for yards of total offense
- 7th in career passing yards at Michigan, also 7th in completions
- 5th in career passing TDs, 7th in career rushing TDs (on a list of mostly RBs)
You don't have to be in first in every category to impress, of course. His name is prominent in Michigan history as it is. It's not over this year by any means, and it has already been, by the numbers, a great career at Michigan for Denard Robinson.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:30 PM ^
a Michigan QB since Demetrious Brown threw 7 picks against MSU. Denard and Borges just are not a good fit.
September 23rd, 2012 at 6:42 PM ^
Denard threw 11 picks in 2010, when he had Rodriguez and Calvin Magee coaching him. I don't think there's some perfect coaching formula out there than can get him to be totally mistake-free.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
September 23rd, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
none of the fanboys mention another top spot he took over in our record books last night, most interceptions. And he has 50% of the attempts that the second place guy (Henne) had.
Course that doesn't matter.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
Brett Favre-ish! Great and bad! Not a bad comparison, I suppose for a qb.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
he does this at home vs Iowa.
September 23rd, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
I think he'll receive the loudest cheer for a senior that I've ever heard at Senior Day. I never thought anyone would get more than Mike Hart did a few years ago.
