On a day the Big Ten's expansion plans seemingly switched to an accelerated timeline, the Michigan football team saw some of its own players rapidly develop.
Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson starred in Saturday's spring football game at Michigan Stadium while working with the first-team offense, while highly touted recruit Devin Gardner earned a warm reception.
Receiver Roy Roundtree is making a habit of big-game performances in April, and some of the Wolverines' young defensive players stood out in the eyes of coaches.
Those are just some of the stories you'll read in AnnArbor.com's coverage of Saturday's game. Here's a look at our complete coverage, which kicks off with Dave Birkett's game story:

Good one BowlForBlue... there is always a couple.... I was thinking more about all the comments about the overall Spring Game and realized not much was said about punting. Think there were something like 4 punts? Two of them went maybe 15 yards and out of bounds, nearly hit the announcers, and the best was Tate's quick kick - it was a beauty, ala Zolton. Serious, very serious situation here. If we ever get a 4th down in a game this year - Tate, on a quick kick.

Is the circus in town today... reading a few comments here... oh well... I did very much enjoy Mr. Birkett's roundup, liked in particular D.Hart's mom's interview with Mgoblog, she posed some very interesting answers to critical academic questions for her son. She is an upmost caring aunt/MOM, and quite intelligent. No doubt the #1 football program and academic institution is Michigan - in not only America's opinion - but Mom Hart!

Great article and interview with D.Hart's mother - she is going to grill RichRod tomorrow - look for Hart to commit be a Wolverine by the end of May. Great time at the BIG HOUSE today, don't care if it's just spring - really enjoyed Denard, Cox, Hopkins, and Pauloski... GO BLUE! Michigan Spring Game - 35..... Rest of Big Ten Spring Games - 0.
