Karan Higdon showcasing his dependability to Jim Harbaugh By Gowidenews 76 minutes ago ANN ARBOR — It's safe to say that Michigan has its workhorse at running back in senior Karan Higdon. With the one-two punch of Higdon and Chris Evans unavailable for the second week in a row due to an injury Evans suffered in the second half in the victory over SMU, coupled with a struggling Wolverines offense that needed a spark against Northwestern, the U-M coaching staff put their faith and every ounce of trust into their offensive captain to help get the job done.
