"Michigan mulls its options for sharing the load against Alabama"

With Fitzgerald Touissant in the lineup, Michigan returned more than 80 percent of its total offense from 2011 and was the only team in the nation preparing for 2012 with not one, but two 1,000-yard rushers en tow. With Toussaint suspended indefinitely in the wake of a drunk driving arrest in July, Michigan… well, Michigan still has Denard Robinson, the more electrifying half of its millennial tandem, but no one else who has done anything to keep opposing defenses from keying on the quarterback. When the first defense on the schedule is arguably the best defense in college football, that's a problem.

Interesting.  See the comment?  "Words can not express how frustrated I am with Toussaint's stupidity and selfishness. One has to really question the young man's character when the first game of the season is against the defending National Champions and he can't stay focused and make the right choices on and off the field that his team needs of him. I'm pissed that I've invested all of that money (I'm not a wealthy guy at all...."

But Robinson still shouldered a heavy burden when the Wolverines were in no-nonsense mode, racking up 25 carries in a come-from-behind win at Northwestern, 18 in a tough loss at Michigan State, 23 in a romp over Nebraska and 26 in the season-defining win over Ohio State, and occasionally when they weren't: Before Toussaint wrested control of the tailback job, Robinson needlessly went over 20 carries in a pair of easy September wins over Eastern Michigan and San Diego State. Those hits are best saved for the thick of the Big Ten schedule.

If he tries running the ball 20 times against Alabama, he will be carried out of the stadium in a body bag. Alabama ain't Northwestern or Michigan State, especially at linebacker and DB.

He better tie his shoes before he gets to Dallas.

Shoes are the least of his problems. I hope he is paid up on his health insurance.

Well the only way I can see that Michigan can share the load is, to get all the Big 10 schools and make one team out of them all then they might keep the score close,,,ummm, on further thought. RTR!
