The day after Jake Rudock graduated from the University of Iowa in May, he was on the road with his father and brother, headed to Ann Arbor, his new home.

After four years at Iowa, including his rise to and removal as the starting quarterback, Rudock was already considering how he would adapt. He planned to spend eight to 10 hours a day in Schembechler Hall all summer, learning the playbook, watching film, connecting with the receivers, getting comfortable with the surroundings.
