The Wolverine
October 2009 Issue

Football season is finally here, and the new issue of The Wolverine includes everything you need to know for the kickoff of the 2009 campaign.

The cover story details the quarterback position, with a look at U-M's talented trio of Tate Forcier, Nick Sheridan and Denard Robinson. Other feature stories profile Jonas Mouton and Brandon Herron, and there is also a look at the safety position.

Additional stories cover the recent controversy over allegations in the Detroit Free Press and look at how a victory in the Notre Dame rivalry game can be a springboard to a great season for Michigan.

In two spectacular photo spreads, we present the sights of opening game weekend, as well as a tour of the ongoing renovations and upgrades at Michigan Stadium that will be complete for 2010.

The Wolverine continues its look back at the best U-M athletes, teams and moments of the last 20 years (in honor of our first 20 years publishing the magazine) with a ranking of the 20 best football players from 1989-2009. Who will be No. 1? Heisman winners Desmond Howard or Charles Woodson or No. 1 draft pick Jake Long or perennial All-Pro Steve Hutchinson? Find out in our rankings of the top 20 best Wolverines of the last 20 years.

This and every issue includes the latest football and basketball commitments and recruiting news, updates on former Wolverines in the pros, and much, much more.
