Every morning Ty Isaac leaves his room and stares down the simple to-do list he tacked to the door more than four months ago. It's a recipe, he believes, to get back into the Michigan backfield and correct course on a promising career.
Isaac transferred to Ann Arbor from USC two years ago to be closer to his family in the Chicago area. The former five-star prospect contributed 293 offensive yards in a crowded Trojan backfield as a true freshman. After sitting out a year per NCAA rules, he started his career at Michigan last fall with 30 carries and 205 rushing yards.
