Ann Arbor -- Jake Rudock didn't come to Michigan for one season to sit on the bench. He made that clear this past week, cloaking that sentiment in a general commentary about how it is natural every player wants to be an active participant.
Rudock, a two-year starting quarterback at Iowa, is spending his final year of eligibility at Michigan under new coach Jim Harbaugh. He has been known to be a methodical quarterback, not flashy, but a game manager and strong leader.
Since his arrival here following graduation in May, Rudock has worked to win the job against his chief competitor, Shane Morris.
