Michigan Hopes To Have Robinson For Another Season

LARRY LAGE,AP Sports Writer

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson has filed paperwork with the NFL Draft Advisory Board to get a gauge of where he might be selected if he skips his senior season.

Wolverines coach Brady Hoke says it's a smart idea for the junior, but he expects Robinson to return next season.

Robinson will lead No. 13 Michigan against No. 17 Virginia Tech on Tuesday at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

In his last two games, wins over Ohio State and Nebraska, Robinson completed 71 percent of his passes for five touchdowns with only one interception. He ran for two more scores and was sacked just twice.
