When was the last time Michigan has had such poor talent at RB?
I have been a fan since 1983 and cannot remember a time when Michigan has had such poor talent at RB. Michigan will never be able to challenge for the B10 without a legit threat to take it to the house. Maybe nepotism needs to end and Jay Harbaugh should go.

How is this a "hot take"? This is objectively true.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:01 PM ^
And another snark comment from the board dickhead
October 19th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
It's more that we have no experience. Evans being suspended sucks.
October 19th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
It's not the rb, any rb can look good behind a good oline and we dont have a good oline
October 19th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
You are an idiot OP

PSU RB get past LOS and no defender around for 10 yards. We run to the LOS right into 6 defenders. How in the shit can that be?
October 19th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
People can neg all they want but its true. Our RBs as a group are terrible. Zach C is a nice piece of the puzzle but the rest just aren't very good
October 19th, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
Zach Charbonnet is an elite RB. UM should have let him have surgery after Army and he would have run wild on Penn State tonight.
The primary issue QB play. Shea is not the answer.

The running backs are far from Michigan’s biggest problem, or even top 5. 1) QB play sucks, 2) Defense collapses against any offense with a pulse; 3) Coaching is beyond atrocious, 4) WR can’t catch or run where the space is, and 5) Blocking all-around blows.

We have talent. We got rid of a guy who knew what he was doing and was our best recruiter in a decade in Wheatley so Jim's son could have a spot on the staff.
October 19th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
2009 probably.
October 19th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
do you see a lot of holes opening up today? Any time the team plays bad count on at least 1 idiot blaming it on Jay, even though the positions he's coached have performed well each year...
But nevermind all that, this team is sucking because Nepotism!!
October 19th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Let me clarify...this team isn't sucking because of Nepotism. One of the real reasons this offense really struggles is it has zero running back threat. None. Even the commentators mentioned it. It just so happens Jay Harbaugh coaches this group.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
We duck on offense because all our players are terrible. It’s not just the RBs
October 19th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
Lets see....
Last year
Then the year before that
Then the year before that

Higdon last year was a very nice back. Not elite by any stretch...but a solid back for sure. Don't know what you've been looking at.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Remember when Higdon sat out of the bowl game to prep for the draft and then didn’t even get drafted? Lol
October 19th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
When is the last time we had a threat to taking it to the house?!?
Higdon was solid but wasn’t breaking one. Illinois back looked speedy today.
October 19th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
It's the OL and the QB. Time to change QBs.
October 19th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
ZC’s high school taped showed absolutely nothing. He was a bigger, older kid running over kids two years younger than him. He is Kevin Grady.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:05 PM ^
Someone needs to call out Jay Harbaugh !
October 19th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
Charbenete is going to be at least a 3 year all American before he leaves Michigan.
The last time a true freshman was the #1 at Michigan Mike Hart... before that like 30 years.
Hopefully, he has a real RB coach for his last 3 years. and an OL
October 19th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Literally the entire last 2 decades, buddy
October 19th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
I really think talent is there, but experience is not. This season has been disappointing, but the experience level is not where it was even last year.
October 19th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
Our running back core has been pathetic since 2007
October 19th, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
Every year since Mike Hart
October 19th, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
Might want to rethink this thread we have a good RB
