WOLVERINES COMING OFF BIG VICTORY OVER USC

The Wolverines are coming off a 27-24 win over the USC Trojans this past Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Prior to the game, the Wolverines were 4.5-point underdogs to the Trojans after underperforming through the first three weeks of the season. However, against the Trojans, Sherrone Moore showed that they're still a very good football team and among the best in the Big Ten.


FIFTH YEAR RUNNING BACK KALEL MULLINGS OFF TO FAST START

Coming into the season it was expected that Donovan Edwards, one CFB 25's cover athlete, was going to be the star of the show for the Wolverines. That has not been the case through four weeks. While Edwards has been solid totaling 224 yards and two touchdowns on 50 carries, Mullings has been fantastic. So far this season, Mullings has totaled 53 carries for 429 yards and four touchdowns. The fifth-year senior has had a tremendous last two weeks combining for 32 carries for 312 yards and four touchdowns.
