What will the Michigan football team do with its bountiful receiving corps?

Of all the Michigan football team’s new position coaches, Jeff Hecklinski has the most returning talent to work with.

The question will become, what does the new receivers coach do with it all?

In a recent video profile posted by MGoBlue.com, Hecklinski recalled a conversation he had with quarterback Denard Robinson. It made his role seem simple:

“My job is to make sure you always have somebody to throw to,” Hecklinski told Robinson. “My guys need to always to be open. It’s their responsibility and there’s no excuses.”

The tougher part of the job might be the selection process. Who will Robinson be throwing to?

“They better be ready,” Hecklinski said of his receivers. “It’s all about competition.”

And, barring attrition, the competitor pool should be deep.

The team’s three primary receivers - Roy Roundtree, Darryl Stonum and Junior Hemingway - all return, and the Wolverines’ roster includes highly touted upcoming wideouts like Je’Ron Stokes, Jeremy Jackson, Ricardo Miller and Jerald Robinson.

Vincent Smith tried to cut block a Wisconsin defender late in the fourth quarter and, in doing so, took himself out of the game.

As the 5-foot-6 sophomore running back made contact, the defender’s knee hit Smith’s head. When he tried to run off the field, Smith's legs became weak and he collapsed at midfield.

When it happened, Smith became the latest in a litany of Michigan football players to be injured both against Wisconsin and in 2010.

“I was a little dizzy after that block,” Smith said. “I’m all right now.”
