Mike Hart: breathing.

This reminds me: I salute Lloyd Carr for finally doing what I have wanted him to do for 3+ years. That is, make Mike Hart the rich man's version of Chris Perry. In other words, give that guy the ball on first down. Give it to him on second down. Go ahead and give it to him again on third down. I'm exaggerating, but it was nice to see them use the horse this weekend for 40+ carries. It brought back memories of Perry's 51 carry game against MSU in '03. Hart is much better than Perry. Ryan Mallett is a freshman and was making his second career start.

I believe Carr has been overly protective of Hart throughout his career. As a result, Hart has missed out on a lot of potential individual accolades (Heisman hype) because he has shared a lot of carries. While I understand Carr's fear of injury, you have got to ride your horses. They did that Saturday. They beat a top 10 team.

Good job, Lloyd. Please continue.
