Carries offense in victory Mullings notched 17 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns and caught their only target for two yards during Saturday's 27-24 win versus USC.
Impact Mullings was the driving force behind the Michigan offense on a day in which they attempted just 12 passes overall. The senior back scored on a 53-yard scamper to open the scoring in the first quarter, though his biggest contributions came on the Wolverines' game-winning drive. Mullings accounted for a 63-yard run to get the Wolverines into the red zone and continued to wear the defense down until finally breaking through the defense on a one-yard touchdown plunge to give Michigan the lead with under a minute remaining. Though fellow running back Donovan Edwards had explosive plays against the Trojans as well, Mullings has been the leader of the Michigan backfield through the team's first four games, running for 429 yards and four scores in that timeframe. A home matchup against Minnesota on Saturday will serve as Mullings' next opportunity to separate himself as head of the backfield.

Productive day in victory Mullings had 15 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-18 victory over Arkansas State.
Impact Mullings was very efficient in his opportunities against Arkansas State, averaging 10.2 YPC on the day. The senior running back also found the end zone for the first (and second) times this season, on runs of 30 and five yards in the first and second quarters, respectively. Though fellow running back Donovan Edwards saw more touches on the day, Mullings was the more productive of the two, nearly doubling up Edwards in terms of yardage on the ground. A fair split between the two is likely to continue moving forward, but Mullings will continue to get opportunities given the production he is clearly capable of. A home test against USC to open the conference season awaits on Saturday.

Leads rushing attack in opener Mullings compiled 15 carries for 92 yards and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 30-10 win over Fresno State.
Impact On a day in which the Michigan offense struggled to get things going, Mullings provided a spark on the ground, averaging 6.1 YPC. The senior running back surprisingly paced the team in both rushing yards and attempts on the day, indicating that the coaching staff is more than happy to ride the hot hand in close games. This bodes well for Mullings' productivity throughout the season, though Donovan Edwards will undoubtedly still get his share of touches. A top-10 home matchup against Texas will put both backs to the test on Saturday.
