Michigan is going to have quite the task ahead this week against Michigan State.
The Spartans have quite the rushing attack, led by Wake Forest transfer Kenneth Walker III. Walker leads the B1G with 142.4 rush yards per game, and considering Michigan allows just 116.6 rush yards per game, something’s going to have to give.
Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh isn’t taking Walker lightly. He talked about what he brings to the table in his weekly press conference Monday afternoon.
Jim Harbaugh on MSU standout RB Kenneth Walker: “He’s got great vision, balance.”
Harbaugh said he’s big — but so fast. Said his most impressive skillset is yards after contact.

It’s sure to be one of the biggest games on the college football slate this year. No. 6 Michigan and No. 8 Michigan State have never faced each other as undefeated teams. That will change Saturday when the two teams square off at Spartan Stadium.
Between Walker and Michigan’s two-headed RB monster of Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins, the run games are going to be on full display. You’ll want to tune in for this one.
