It was a big day for Michigan with their dramatic win over rival Ohio State, but it came at a cost, as the Wolverines lost offensive lineman Zak Zinter to a scary leg injury.

Zinter had to be carted off the field, and the reaction from his teammates and the crowd at Michigan Stadium made it clear how much he means to the team. The Wolverines were still able to hold on for the huge win after his departure, no doubt wanting to make sure they secured the victory for him.

After the game, Zinter's mother shared the following update regarding her son's injury on social media:

Zinter is one of the best blockers in all of college football, and also one of the top interior offensive line prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class. Here's hoping he has a full and swift recovery as he looks ahead to the next chapter of his football journey.
