Freshman RB Karan Higdon Burns Redshirt vs. Northwestern

True freshman running back Karan Higdon burned his redshirt possibilities playing Saturday against Northwestern. Higdon, a former three-star recruit out of Florida, rushed 8-times for 16-yards.

Harbaugh on Higdon: "He's come in and improved every day…there were a few specialty runs I thought he could help us in."

Last week against Maryland, Michigan burned safety Tyree Kinnel’s redshirt by starting him on special teams.
