With the regular season drawing near for Michigan, head coach Brady Hoke still has yet to name a starting running back. However if the season were to start today, Hoke knows who his starting tail back would beβ¦
βMike Shaw,β Hoke said after Tuesdayβs practice. βHeβs been more consistent on a daily basis. Heβs improved a little bit.
βComing into (camp), I think (running backs coach) Fred (Jackson) would have told you heβs a little concerned about the passing game and the protections in the passing game, and I think heβs improved in that part.β
The 6-1, 195lb native of Trotwood, Ohio, Shaw enters his senior season having rushed for 402 yards last season on 75 attempts with nine touchdowns. These were all career highs.
