Spring Game News
Robinson steps up: Spring practice began with talk of Denard Robinson playing other positions besides quarterback. The session ended with Robinson looking like the Wolverines' top signal caller. A full offseason in the program paid off for Robinson, who proved why he should stay at quarterback and closed the gap with last year's starter, Tate Forcier. Robinson capped it off with a strong spring game performance, leading the offense to touchdowns on five of six possessions and firing a 97-yard scoring pass to Roy Roundtree.

Michigan spring game back to Big House

The renovation of Michigan Stadium won't be completed until August 2010, but the Big House will play host to the football team's annual spring game April 11.

Construction forced last year's spring game to be moved to nearby Saline High School, but head coach Rich Rodriguez announced Wednesday that the event will be back in the stadium. The Wolverines open spring drills March 14.

"We appreciate the effort of the construction crew to make the facility available to us and we hope that a large crowd will be able to attend," Rodriguez said in a statement. "The opportunity to practice at the stadium and in front of fans is extremely valuable for our players."

Purdue also announced its spring game, which will be played April 18 at Ross-Ade Stadium. The Black & Gold game culminates Purdue's first spring practice session, which kicks off March 25, under new head coach Danny Hope.
