The Michigan Wolverines defense must be ready to dominate in the 2015 season-opener because the Utah Utes' top playmaker, Devontae Booker, is a dangerous, versatile weapon.
Last season, Booker tallied 1,512 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, adding 43 receptions, 306 yards and two more scores. He was a notable factor in every game except for one—and that opponent was the Wolverines.
Michigan quickly closed the running lanes on Booker and limited him to a season-worst 34 yards on 11 carries.
"It wasn't just like I could put myself in the game," Booker said, per Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press.
