Sep. 22--When Prescott Burgess came to Michigan four years ago, he was expected to be an instant star.
Rivals.com ranked him the nation's No. 6 overall prospect, and that carried an instant burden.
Last Saturday against Notre Dame, some of that pressure was released with what U-M coach Lloyd Carr called Burgess' "best game." Two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown and the other to Notre Dame's 5-yard line, showed Burgess can do things rare for a college linebacker.
