UM’s Harbaugh raves about ‘wrecking ball’ Mason

Ann Arbor — Freshman fullback Ben Mason earned a helmet sticker for scoring a touchdown “with” Karan Higdon last Saturday. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who has gushed about Mason’s brute football strength since preseason camp, thought Mason’s block on the touchdown was worthy of a sticker.

Harbaugh before the season said on several occasions that Mason “goes forward and hits people better than anybody I’ve ever seen.”

And that’s what Mason did on Karan Higdon’s 10-yard touchdown run late in the first half during a 35-14 win over Rutgers last Saturday.
