Donovan Edwards, Michigan, Player News

Donovan Edwards ran for 185 yards and a score, J.J. McCarthy threw three touchdown passes and No. 2 Michigan beat Purdue 43-22 on Saturday night for its second straight Big Ten title and a likely No. 2 playoff seed. College football's winningest program has the first 13-win season in school history. Two more victories would give the Wolverines (13-0, No. 2 CFP) their first national championship since 1997. And with injured star Blake Corum sidelined by a season-ending left knee injury, Edwards stole the show for the second straight week. After shredding rival Ohio State for 216 yards and two scores last week, Edwards broke open this game with a 60-yard on the first play of the second half to set up one score. He added a 27-yard TD sprint on Michigan's next series to make it 28-13.Purdue (8-5) never recovered from Michigan's quick, seven-play onslaught after it trailed 14-13 at halftime. But quarterback Aidan O'Connell and receiver Charlie Jones helped the Boilermakers make it interesting for a while. O'Connell was 32 of 47 with 366 yards and two interceptions after missing some practice time early this week to mourn the death of his oldest brother. Jones, who lost to Michigan in last year's game while playing for Iowa, had 13 receptions for 16 2 yards. It just wasn't enough. Michigan showed no signs of a hangover after last week's rout over the Buckeyes, taking a 7-0 lead on its opening possession with a 25-yard TD pass from J.J. McCarthy to Colston Loveland. Purdue answered with Devin Mockobe e's 1-yard scoring run to tie the score then took the lead on Mitchell Fineran's 33-yard field goal. Michigan answered by taking advantage of an offside call on fourth-and-6 by going for the first down, picking it up and eventually converting the drive i nto a 7-yard TD pass from McCarthy to Luke Schoonmaker. They never trailed again. - Michigan/AP College Football

When Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about Donovan Edwards at Big Ten media days in July, he described the sophomore running back as a generational player. During generations of Michigan football, no running back in program history has more re ceiving yards in a single game than Edwards. The former top-50 recruit was billed as a versatile running back coming out of West Bloomfield High, but he didn't get many opportunities to flaunt his dual-threat ability early during his freshman season in 2 021. With Blake Corum out with an injury in Week 12 against Maryland, Edwards got his chance and took advantage of it. Splitting time in the backfield with Hassan Haskins, Edwards caught 10 passes for a program-record 170 yards in a 59-18 victory. Although the 6-foot-1, 204-pounder saw his playing time reduced when Corum returned the following week against Ohio State, Edwards still carved out a role during the final three games, especially in the pass game. Of his 20 receptions last season, 18 cam e in the final four games. He totaled 265 receiving yards - good for fifth on the team - and added 174 rushing yards on 35 carries. "When I had him in high school, he had a bad injury his sophomore year," said Michigan's receivers coach Ron Bellamy, who also was Edwards' coach at West Bloomfield. "I knew how talented he was; I knew he was a guy that's going to be a high-level college recruit. I vowed to him that we're going to protect him, and we just found various ways to get him the football. Everythi ng didn't have to be inside the tackle box. So, we trained him up as a receiver. We thought that he can be a top-10 receiver in the nation, just as well as he was as a (top-10) running back. I think he took to that, and here he is today. He has that skil l set." - Ann Arbor News

Even in one of the most productive running backs in the country, Donovan Edwards found a way to stand out last season. The former four-star recruit arrived in Ann Arbor to plenty of fanfare, a standout player at nearby West Bloomfield High School who sai d all the right things during his commitment. The 6-foot, 202-pound Edwards saw the field early on as a freshman, earning six carries in Michigan's season opener against Western Michigan and turning eight carries into 86 yards and two touchdowns two game s later in a blowout win over Northern Illinois.But as the season progressed, Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins became Michigan's bonafide 1a and 1b options. They earned most of the carries in key spots, combining to rush for more than 2,200 yards an d 31 touchdowns - a real bright spot for an emerging offense. In some games, especially early on in the season, Michigan leaned on its rushing attack - led by a physical and experienced offensive line - to carry it to victory. Hassan Haskins, a second-te am All-American pick by the American Football Coaches Association, accounted for more than 1,300 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. Later in the year, however, Edwards flashed his skillset in other, less expected, ways. He was a major fixture of the passin g game in a 59-18 win at Maryland last November, catching 10 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown. If there was ever a "prove-it" moment for the young running back, it was on the road in College Park. - Ann Arbor News

While Jim Harbaugh has said that returners Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum are set to receive a bulk of the carries at running back this fall, they could have some company in the season opener against Western Michigan. Michigan's true-freshman running bac k Donovan Edwards impressed coaches in the spring with his work ethic and talent, so much so that he's worked his way into the depth chart and will be part of the playing rotation on Sept. 4. Last month at Big Ten Media Days, Harbaugh told reporters that "you'll be seeing Donovan Edwards Game 1? - a statement backed up Thursday by Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis. "Donovan will play Week 1," Gattis told reporters on Thursday. "That's no secret in this building, the type of talent that he is." Gattis described the 6-foot, 202-pound Edwards as "one of the most competitive people that you'll ever meet," complimenting the West Bloomfield, Mich., native's ability to complete a quick turnaround from high school to college.Edwards played for a state championship in football in late-January, then made the transition to Michigan and the start of spring ball in late-February. And despite enrolling early and having to compete against a pair of scholarship backs with experience, Edwards learned t he offense quickly and held his own, Gattis said. Every major recruiting service listed Edwards as a four-star recruit and top-100 prospect nationally coming out of high school, suggesting that a fast-tracked start to college was possible. - Ann Arbor Ne ws
