TD was quite a rush for UM’s Henderson, family, teammates

Ann Arbor – When Doug Henderson attended Michigan football games as a graduate student, he propped his young son on his shoulders and together they took it all in.

Two weeks ago at Rutgers, along with his wife, Jane, they sat in the stands and watched their son, Bobby, now 23, score for the Wolverines on a 13-yard run in the fourth quarter.

“It was surreal,” Doug Henderson said. “And when we met at the buses (after the game), you could tell five years of hard work coming out of him.”

Jane initially was shocked when Bobby scored.
