After leaving Ohio State for Michigan football, Tony Alford isn't high on some of the decisions he made in Week 1 against Fresno State.
Michigan fans have been used to seeing three -- or four at times -- running backs play in a single game. But the Wolverines used just Donovan Edwards and Kalel Mullings on Saturday in a 30-10 win over Fresno State. The ground game didn't do anything special, but was efficient enough thanks to a huge second half from Kalel Mullings. Starter Donovan Edwards gained 27 yards on 11 carries and Mullings ended the game with 92 yards on 15 carries.
"Yeah, you know, I wanted to get him in the game," Alford began. "And in full transparency, once again, I failed as a coach to make that happen. And I told him as such. And I've got to find ways to get him in the game because he's earned the right to do that. He's had a really, really good summer. As far as training camp goes, he's had a really good past week and a half, two weeks. He deserves opportunities to play.
After Hall, it would appear true freshman Jordan Marshall might be the next in line, the former Mr. Ohio running back. The former Ohio State running backs coach said Marshall is a dynamic running back and like Hall, wants to find a way to get him on the field. Alford hinted fans could see him play as soon as Saturday against Texas.
