Michigan running back Benjamin Hall is carving his own path

Dating back over 50 years to the early days of Bo with players like Glenn “Shake and Bake” Doughty and Billy Taylor, through Butch Woolfork in the ‘70s and Jamie Morris in the ‘80s, the position at Michigan was elevated to a higher standard.
Succeeding those backs was a run of players who took the position to such heights they are only remembered by one name: Wheatley, Biakabatuka, Thomas, Perry, and Hart. Names that carry such reverence, Wolverine fans need a moment to collect themselves before continuing.
