The Michigan Wolverines have played smashmouth football since the days of Bo Schembechler.
"Three yards and a cloud of dust" was the way of the Big Ten in the 1970s and '80s as the Maize and Blue produced myriad standout running backs. Some things have changed since then, but the Wolverines still rely heavily on the run today.
With that in mind, we wonder how many of the school's top 15 leaders in career rushing yards you can name in five minutes. (Hint: There is one quarterback on this list.)
Good luck!
