Injury Update

No major updates on the injury list this week. 

 

Player to Watch

Boom Herron has had a great second half to his season, so he is definitely on Michigan's radar. Herron should have a big day as OSU will pile on the rushing yards. He should have his third career 100-yard game. 

 

Will Rodriguez Be Back?

This may be Rich Rod's last regular season game at Michigan. Although he has guided Michigan to better season, it is still not up to Michigan standards. As the offense has progressed, the defense has taken its place among the worst in the country. It was not lost in the minds of the Michigan administration, that although the three overtime victory over Illinois was exciting, the defense allowed Illinois to score 65 points. Rich Rod has finally shown that his offensive system can work, but it has only resulted in a 7-4 record and that is with a dynamic QB. It is not clear that his system in the Big Ten will result in a better record in the coming seasons. He may try to fire defensive coordinator Greg Robinson, and that may be enough to save him for another year. I think he needed to win one of the big games against Michigan State, Iowa, Penn State, or Wisconsin to save his job.
