UM running back Shaw eligible to play

University of Michigan running back Michael Shaw (20) gets by Western Michigan University linebacker Austin Pritchard (35) in a September 2009 matchup.

University of Michigan's Michael Shaw has achieved eligibility after passing a summer course, coach Rich Rodriguez said Wednesday.

Shaw, who along with Vincent Smith is listed as a co-starter at running back for Saturday's game against Connecticut, missed some practices during camp because of a class conflict.

Freshman running back Fitzgerald Toussaint (knee) will not play, Rodriguez said. Toussaint was listed at fourth on the depth chart.
