DENARD "SHOELACE" ROBINSON IS RACKING UP YARDS AND W's FOR THE WOLVERINES

Michigan's Denard Robinson is off to one amazing start this year. In only two games the Deerfield Beach, Florida native has racked up an amazing set of stats. He's becoming very familiar with the endzone and he's already no stranger to pressure situations. This past week on the road at Notre Dame, Denard led the Wolverines down the field on an amazing game winning drive that spanned 72 yards in 12 plays.

For the year so far, Shoelace has been the definition of "On Fire":

Rushing
57 Carries for 455 yards (3 TDs)

Passing
43 of 62 for 430 yards (2 TDs)

That's 885 yards in 2 games. If he keeps this up, they'll have to rewrite the record books at Michigan for All-Time Single Season Rushing Yards. Tim Biankabatuka had 1818 yards in 1995, and that's some pretty rocking company.

If you have not been watching, do yourself a favor, keep an eye on "Shoelace" from here on out. He's been leaving his cleets untied since little league football, and he's running untied ever since. I see no reason for him stop any time soon. And I seriously doubt Coach Rodriguez will be getting his QB to lace them up either.

So far he's 2-0. He's led the Wolverines to victories of UConn and Notre Dame.

Up next for Michigan is UMASS, where Denard looks to rack up some more big time yardage. But just peeking ahead at the schedule, it looks like, by my count, Michigan will be 5-0 when they will host Michigan State on October 9th at the Big House. Should be a nice rivalry game for all to enjoy.
