McGuffie starting for Michigan

Link


Rich Rodriguez fully expects to play freshmen this fall. Not just one or two, but probably 10. While playing them on the offensive line might be a necessity, playing TBs Sam McGuffie and Michael Shaw will be a reality because they're both very good, very adept at the offense and already look seasoned. Running backs coach Fred Jackson has profusely praised both, even saying McGuffie has speed like ex-Michigan back Justin Fargas . While Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown entered camp as the favorites to handle the bulk of carries, this will be a tailback-by-committee situation, and McGuffie and Shaw likely could be at the head of the table.


Now, the comparison may be true, but off all the tailbacks in the history of Michigan, they compare him to the whitest looking one of the bunch.

It never ceases to amaze me why our brains cannot compare black athletes to white athletes, vice versa.
