When Michigan running back Donovan Edwards went into the locker room at halftime against East Carolina, he checked ESPN to see his stats for the first half: six carries for five rushing yards.
While most players would be discouraged by this stat line, Edwards was able to see the positives in the game. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy had an 86 percent completion rate, wide receiver Roman Wilson scored three touchdowns, and the defense had a near-shutout. This maturity comes from his faith, his belief in himself, and his running backs coach, Mike Hart.
Edwards was the unsung hero last season for the Wolverines, rushing for 216 yards and two touchdowns against Ohio State.
