Things have changed since Mike Hart racked up 1,455 yards on the ground as a freshman for Michigan in 2004.
Phones don't have buttons anymore. A team's top rusher is no longer penciled in for 25 touches a game. The importance of pass-catching out of the backfield encourages toggling between halfbacks with different skills.

Fans are clamoring for Edwards, but Corum and Haskins aren't doing anything to lose their spots.
