He's the first Michigan running back to eclipse 100 in three straight games since Toussaint in 2011. Will he do it again? And if so, who was the last Michigan running back to go for more than 100 in four straight games? I say he does it.
Also: Higdon sits at 1,917 career rushing yards. He's currently averaging 120 yards per game. I think it's safe to say he does not average that for the season (but hey, if he does . . . ), but using that to project out for the 12-game regular season, he would add another 961 yards in the remaining games leaving him at 2,878 for his career. That would place him at 11th all-time at Michigan just ahead of Mr. Biakabutuka (2,810) and just behind #10 Gordon Bell (2,900). Bell got his yards on 535 carries, Biakabutuka on 448 carries. Higdon is sitting on 323 attempts for his career. Using the first 4 games as a projection he should finish around 475, which means he'll have had a near top-10 career in rushing yards without placing in the top 15 for attempts (Toussaint was #15 with 510 attempts).

The answer is Mike Hart in 2007, when he rushed for over 100 yards in every game he played except against Ohio State.
