DEVIN GARDNER RUMORS

Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges stopped by the WTKA studios for the Mott Takeover Friday. In part one of his chat with the media he shed light on his plan for Denard Robinson’s carries next season, Devin Gardner's progression at QB and WR, the Alabama game, how to make football safer, and his thoughts on having more than one running back in his system.***video interview included***

Spring football is in full swing across the country and because there aren’t any actual games being played this time of year, football storylines can come from a wide array of angles.  That’s especially true because more times than not, practices are closed to both the public and the media except for the spring game, but even then, it’s hard to gauge exactly where...

Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke has decided that he might split his quarterback out wide this upcoming season.  With Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner at quarterback, you’d think that Robinson would be the logical choice.  Known as a stellar runner, but a below average passer, you would assume that Michigan would want to get Robinson the ball in space against defensive...

A couple of good sources have passed along information about Michigan's hot topics du jour. On Trey Burke. This should not be a scenario like Harris or Morris where the player leaves for dim draft prospects. In Harris's case he wanted out no matter what; Morris had people in his inner circle pushing him into the draft. Burke is not either of those guys. If the NBA does...

Walker, Gardner, Avant (L to R) After yesterday's one-two gut punch of basketball news, let's talk football, shall we? The story that will likely dominate the spring is the potential move of quarterback Devin Gardner to wide receiver, at least part-time. Gardner, in case you didn't see Brian's UV yesterday, showed some pretty serious skills at receiver when camping...

Fifteen minutes of Bo yelling at officials. Wot it says on the tin: ";" alt="" /> Can't see Hoke doing this; am now imagining Bo's reaction after the Hagerup incident against OSU. It does not go well for the kid. I love the announcers' reactions, which are mostly bemused. Musberger as Bo charges about ten yards onto the field to protest a pass...

Gardner is still the backup QB, but is he too good to keep on the sideline? We're two practices into spring football and position switches abound. Some are more obvious than others, some are a work-in-progress which may or may not really happen. But most, if not all, are worthwhile discussion. First, let's look at what fancy nuggets the spring roster has unveiled. And...

If only more Big Ten plays were cued up to Benny Hill. Backup Michigan QB Devin Gardner came in on Saturday when Denard Robinson went out with an injury. While he did some good things, he also did had one instance where he ran forward for an 8-yard gain and backwards for an 18-yard loss, [...]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Backup quarterback Devin Gardner's role in the Michigan offense has increased in recent weeks, but it's not likely to go much further. Asked whether Gardner might get a full series or even a quarter to run the team at some point, instead of just a play or two here and there, Michigan coach Brady Hoke quickly dismissed the idea Monday during his weekly news...
