Hassan Haskins cements status as Michigan football's No. 1 RB, injures pile up vs. Rutgers

Michigan football has rotated liberally at running back this season.

But on Saturday, the Wolverines mostly relied upon one player: Hassan Haskins.

The redshirt sophomore handled 66% of his position group's carries, rushing 22 times for 110 yards and a touchdown in U-M's 48-42 triple-overtime win at Rutgers.

"You talk about heart, I thought all our players played with great talent and heart," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "The amount of runs that Hassan had that were yards after contact in this game, tough, efficient, outstanding runs. Just tremendous.
