Redshirt Freshmen Denard Robinson on pace to shatter some records

He's going to rack up the yards. Trust.

This is Rich Rod at his finest and he will have him on display as much as possible throughout the season.

They don't really have anything else on offense.

 

337 yards midway through the 3rd quarter

On pace for 500 yards...again

 

142 yards in the first 5 minutes of play on 2 drives, both for TDs. On pace for 1500 yards. :huh:

He can have near 600 if Rodriguez so deems it.

We shall see.

 

Robinson would easily put up 600 yards today but he was held out after landing on his knee at about the 4 minute mark of the first quarter, having put up nearly 190 yards of offense to that point.

 

Through 5 games:

1008 Passing
905 Rushing

Projected through 12 games:

2419 Passing
2172 Rushing

Had he not missed the last 3 quarters of the Bowling Green game, his numbers most likely would be in the neighborhood of:

1090 Passing
1055 Rushing

Which projects to:

2616
2532

Those are some obscene numbers.

Those numbers will slow down a bit now that Michigan finally gets it's teeth into the brunt of it's Big 10 schedule.

But they still have suspect defenses in Michigan State (this weekend) and Purdue and Illinois later in the year. They will probably all be shootouts, resulting in Michigan relying on every single yard Robinson can muster for the Wolverines.

 

If Michigan finishes 10-2, beating a couple of the best teams in the Big 10 (e.g., Wisconsin, Penn State), and it's because of Robinson (shootout victories), then he will likely win the Heisman. At least he should.
