Rodriguez says Blue knows what to work onBy Ian Robinson

Six turnovers against Notre Dame last week gave the Michigan football team plenty to work on during the bye week.
One area that particularly worried Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was kickoff returns. The Wolverines muffed two in the first four minutes — the first leading to bad field position for Michigan, and the second, recovered by Notre Dame, leading to a touchdown for the Irish.
“I just hope we catch the ball,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve tried out just about everybody back there.”
At yesterday’s press conference, Rodriguez named nine different players who have taken kickoffs in practice. He listed four players on the depth chart — freshman Boubacar Cissoko, senior Brandon Harrison, freshman Michael Shaw and senior Morgan Trent. In addition, he said freshman Sam McGuffie, freshman Martavious Odoms, redshirt freshman Avery Horn and sophomore James Rogers took reps in practice.
