Is Michigan QB Robinson's pose a sign of things to come?

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson says he doesn't pay attention to the hype sparked by his speedy legs, accurate arm and deft decision-making.

Not having cable TV helps.

He had 502 yards of offense against Notre Dame and scored the game-winning touchdown with 27 seconds left. He ran and threw for 383 yards in the season-opening win versus Connecticut.

The sophomore known as "Shoelace" was photographed against the Fighting Irish in a pose that might prove to be fitting. He was in stride with the ball was tucked under his left arm as his right arm was extended in an uncanny resemblance to the Heisman Trophy.

Robinson and the 20th-ranked Wolverines will be tested mentally Saturday at home against second-tier Massachusetts.
