Ann Arbor — If Jake Rudock plays the real game as well as he plays this game, deftly sidestepping trouble inside Schembechler Hall, maybe Michigan's got something.
Or maybe it just means the fifth-year senior is old enough — and smart enough — to know better. And to be honest, his chief competitor in the huddle across the room wasn't exactly fumbling away the game, either.
But if Rudock is the guy, as everyone seems to think he is, it's not hard to understand why. If the graduate transfer from Iowa is the quarterback Jim Harbaugh tabs as his starter for next week's season opener at Utah, ahead of junior Shane Morris, his poise surely will have something to do with it.
