Michigan fullback Kerridge recognized for thankless job

Ann Arbor — Fullbacks usually are the players doing the dirty work — and getting little recognition.

And that’s fine with Joe Kerridge, a fifth-year senior fullback at Michigan.

He loves blocking for his teammates, but also is getting a chance to do some running. And when he does ...

Kerridge busted loose for a 34-yard gain in the first quarter of Michigan’s 38-0 rout of Northwestern last weekend. It helpd set up the third Wolverines touchdown.

“It’s a great experience,” said Kerridge, who’ll have another chance to get some bashing in when Michigan hosts Michigan State on Saturday.
