Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson has generated a lot of hype over the first two weeks, as he gashed his way through the Connecticut and Notre Dame defenses in leading the Wolverines to a 2-0 record and Top 25 ranking.
↵To give you some perspective on just how dominant he has been, let's take a look at some of his mind-boggling numbers. If Denard Robinson were a team, he would currently rank 34th in the nation with 885 total yards:
↵33. Stanford, 891
34. The Denard Robinson Show, 885
35. North Texas, 882
Michigan as a team currently ranks 14th in the nation:
↵12. Arizona 1007
Nebraska 1007
14. Michigan 1005
15. Arizona State 1003
To put it another way, Robinson has 88 percent of Michigan's 1005 yards of total offense. Perhaps the most impressive stat is that he's doing it with both his legs and his arm. Robinson leads Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne by only 94 yards, but 755 of Kinne's 791 yards have come through the air. Meanwhile, Robinson has had a potent ground and running attack, rushing for 445 yards and passing for 430.
↵And, after sprinting his way to a Big Ten quarterback-record 258 rushing yards against Notre Dame, he's the leading rusher in the nation:
↵1. Denard Robinson, QB, MICH, 445
2. Kendall Hunter, RB, OKST, 414
3. Daniel Thomas, RB, KSU, 371
Robinson is one of just two quarterbacks in the top ten in that category, the other being Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez, who has 284 yards.
↵With Football Championship Subdivision Massachusetts and mid-major Bowling Green on tap for Michigan, there's a good chance Robinson will be able to pad those stats even more before Big Ten play begins.
