Bad news for #20:

RB Drake Johnson will miss the remainder of the 2013 season with a torn ACL.

Johnson tore that on a vicious-looking clothesline on kickoff coverage late, so thanks for that, Central.

Johnson was the #2 back on the depth chart; after he went out Michigan started alternating the true freshmen before turning to Hayes and Rawls late. While the injury is unfortunate, Michigan has plenty of depth at tailback.

How are you defining "key player"?  He was what, our third tailback in the game?  If you want to throw nothing but walk-ons out there on ST, we're probably going to get burned at some point.

Then no punt block and TD, and watch our awesome KC and PC go to hell. Injuries happen and special teams are as important to winning as anything. Heck even Alabama's STs were > Alabama's offense.
