Newsstand: Jim Harbaugh praises Donovan Edwards' breakout
Michigan football is peaking at the right time thanks to breakout performances from all over the roster. The latest came from freshman running back Donovan Edwards, who had 10 receptions for 170 yards in Saturday’s blowout win over Maryland.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke about the performance during Monday night’s Inside Michigan Football radio show with Jon Jansen.

“A lot of fun. I mean, it was a 10/10 fun to see that for me,” Harbaugh said. “Donovan is just one of those, I mean, he’s so gifted in terms of talent but when I tell you he’s gifted in all the ways–a special personality. Larger than life. I know a lot of guys like football; he loves football. And I like being around him all the time. It’s contagious. Makes me young…er. And so yeah, that’s how happy I was to see it.
“As happy as I could be! Just to see it all come to life in a tremendous game. That was a phenomenal game. I made the thought after the game like, well gosh, this was such an incredible game that he had but I bet this is just a blip on the radar screen of his career because it’s going to be so good. Might remember it a little bit because it was like the first big game that he’s had, but he’s going to have a lot of those.”
The next opportunity at a breakout performance comes Saturday in a rivalry tilt against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The kickoff is scheduled for noon from Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

“I think we’ve silenced the critics for the most part. We have this one final test against Ohio State. This is a team that we simply haven’t beaten in many years. It’s something that we have to get over. It starts on Saturday. Hopefully we will go out there and get the win and break that streak.”
