TOP GUN RECRUIT: Weber Draws Inspiration from Gordon and Runs for 404 Yards Tonight

Damn.  He had subs mustard.

University of Michigan commit Mike Weber rushed for 404 yards and five touchdowns on 32 carries in Cass Tech's 48-35 win over Chippewa Valley Saturday for the Division 1 regional title. 

Weber was not ready for his prep career to end, and his play demonstrated that. The senior tailback burst past defenders early and often, totaling 10 rushes that resulted in double-digit gains.

Battling cramps late in the first half, Weber gulped a bottle of mustard, a method his father taught him.

Four of Weber's five touchdowns came on massive runs. His lowest output for a score was a 6-yard rush on his third carry of the game. The other four were on rushes of at least 44 yards.

After the game, Cass Tech coach Tom Wilcher was asked where Weber ranks amongst the elite running backs that played in the Detroit Public School League. The answer was simple.

"Probably one of the best we've ever had in the PSL," Wilcher said. "There's a long history of backs. I can only say right now, in this period of time right here, I know Mike's probably the best running back that we had in the last 20-30 years."
