Quarterback
Robinson
Gardner or Forcier/Kennedy
| Robinson, Denard | 16 | QB | 1 | So. | 6'0" | 193 | Starter | 4.38 | 36" | 315 | 19 | 2.9 |
| Forcier, Tate | 5 | QB | 2 | So. | 6'1" | 192 | Backup | 4.55 | 33" | n/a | n/a | n/a |

| Kennedy, Jack | 20 | QB | 4 | So. | 5'11" | 185 | Walk-on | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Comments: Denard Robinson will probably be the starter as he has earned it through his play in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Devin Gardner had the edge on Tate Forcier for backup. Gardner and Jones give Michigan competition and depth. Jack Kennedy is the other backup.

Running Back:
| Smith, Vincent | 2 | RB | 1 | So. | 5'6" | 180 | Backup | 4.4 | 29.5" | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Shaw, Michael | 20 | RB | 2 | Jr. | 6'1" | 187 | Starter | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |

| Hopkins, Stephen | 33 | RB | 5 | Fr. | 6'0" | 227 | Recruit | 4.52 | n/a | 320 | n/a | n/a |
| Jones, Teric | 14 | RB | 6 | So. | 5'9" | 195 | Backup | 4.39 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Swanson, O'Neill | 32 | RB | 7 | Fr. | 5'10" | 162 | Walk-on | 4.63 | 32" | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Monolo, Phil | 29 | RB | 8 | Fr. | 5'9" | 183 | Walk-on | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Comments: Vincent Smith or Michael Shaw will most likely take the first snap against Connecticut at Running Back due to injuries to Fitzgerald Touissaint. Good news, Shaw is eligible! Mike Cox and Stephen Hopkins will also be taking snaps especially in short yardage and goal line situations. Austin White has quit the team after enrolling in January and participating in Spring Drills, but apparently didn't do anything in the Summer and was asked by the coaching staff to move to safety; he will transfer most likely to Michigan State.

Comments: McColgan gives us solid blocking at Fullback with Moundros moving to MIKE-Linebacker.
