Junior Hemingway has a back bruise and was limited against Purdue. Martavious Odoms is still day-to-day, he hasn't progressed that well. Perry Dorrestein is getting better. Carlos was limited against Purdue because he missed the week of practice with tendinitis. Personnel notes: Brandon Minor gives the team a completely different dimension because he is able to break tackl...

This is getting to be like a broken record around here.For one half of the game, Michigan looked calm, poised and confident. They racked up 24 points on a decent Purdue team. The defense, after letting Purdue on the board early, stiffened up and played relatively well given all their deficiencies.But again, just like last week at Illinois, a huge momentum shift in the 3rd quarter let a lesser opponent back into the game, and Michigan was st...

It was an exhibition game against a D-2 team. It's meaningless in the grand scheme of things, and counts toward nothing. Yet it still felt good to be back in Crisler Arena, and perhaps even better to emerge with a win, be it over Duke, Michigan State... or Wayne State. In the grand scheme of things, nothing is more important than junior Manny Harris's hamstring injury. Though it has been hampering him throughout fall practices, there was no noticea...

Wayne State. 7PM ET, Crisler Arena. BigTenNetwork.com After the Wolverines did in John Beilein's second year what they couldn't do in six under Tommy Amaker, expectations for the Michigan basketball team went through the roof. Suddenly, this is a tournament team. Suddenly, it's the #15 team in the country. At his latest press conference Beilein joked about not being on the wall mural in the Junge Family Champions Center like Rodriguez is. Maybe he shou...

Patrick Omameh got a series late in the first half, probably because Dorrestein was injured. It sounds like Dorrestein might miss the Purdue game, with Patrick Omameh his likely replacement at RG.

And some of the Wolverines didn’t take it too well.  Mark Ortmann, an offensive linemen decided when the going got [...] Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:43:24 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Michigan_linemen_delivers_a_low_blow/1483363 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Michigan_linemen_delivers_a_low_blow/1483363 Somewhat less than timely, but still good. Michigan softball player Bree Evans, who suffered a scary injury at the beginning of the month, is out of the hospital. She's been out for a good long while… Evans was released from the hospital two weeks ago, according to Michigan sports information director Leah Howard. Howard declined to comment on details of Evans’ injury. …but better to know late than never, I guess. Well, let's be explicit about it. Deshawn Sims and Mann Harris t...

This is broader but I may as well not reinvent such a well-put-together wheel. I will take this opportunity at the top of the post to rephrase something I stuck in a mailbag.

I was just going to say the same stuff about the long handoffs anyway in UFR.]I just finished breaking down the first half plus the first series of the second half from the Penn State game.  Overall, the defense was generally solid, but there were a handful of major gaffes.  When you gaffe on defense, the other team gashes you, usually for six.  This happened Saturday.  What compounded these problems was the ineffectiveness o...

Here's a kitten: Feeling better? No? Oh. I assume Michigan will go back to the line configuration they used last month when Molk was out with a broken foot. Left to right, that was Ortmann, Schilling, Moosman, Huyge, and Dorrestein. First guy off the bench now is probably John Ferrara, who saw some time in the Iowa game when Huyge wasn't playing well or had a minor injury. T...

He will start against Penn State on Saturday. David Moosman will move to right guard, with Perry Dorrestein and Mark Huyge competing for the right tackle spot. Tate Forcier and Carlos Brown should be fully recovered from all their injuries. Minor's injury is still nagging, but he should be healthy enough to play (as he has been despite the injury in the past couple weeks). The running back starter will depend on Minor's overall he...
