  "account": "Michigan fans are expressing dissatisfaction with their freshman running back Savion Hiter, who has struggled to make an impact in the team's recent games. Hiter, a highly touted five-star recruit from Virginia, has not managed even double-digit yards in Saturday's match against Minnesota. On four attempts, he has only gained six yards, with his performance negatively impacting Michigan's overall rushing effort, which has been limited to just 48 yards in the first three quarters. This performance has led fans to call for Hiter to be benched and replaced by Jordan Marshall, who has already contributed with a touchdown and 32 yards. Hiter's talent and size were likely the reason Michigan fans had high hopes for him, but his underwhelming performance has raised doubts about his potential.",
