Taco and Mone are expected. I'm starting to get a little worried about Lewis.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
My thoughts exactly.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:36 AM ^
There seems to be more to it than they are letting on. Today's game is the kind of game where you would play him if there is any way at all that you could. He does not seem close to playing.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
Disagree. Why play him against a team we will throttle ? Colorado is not good. Next week Lewis will play.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:58 AM ^
Why? To prep for the B1G season. While JD is far better than Braden, look at the difference in Braden's play last week than with that of the rest of the line. Just one game to shake off the rust would be ideal.

have no evidence suggesting that Colorado is "not good." We have evidence to the contrary, as they have throttled every team they have played just as we have. If you have plans for a completely relaxing afternoon with this game I would change those plans. They will test us. You play him because he is a really good player who had hopes of a Thorpe award and first round draft stock. This is the third game he has missed to start the season. Clearly something is up, and it is certainly a concern.
September 17th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
Their past 4 year history, including most of their returning players- is a good indicator of not good status, on top of that, although they beat lesser foes, when you examine the film they were playing slightly better than their opponent.
Until CO can line up and move the ball on an established quality team, they are safe to be called what they have shown themselves to be - average at best more likely, not good
September 17th, 2016 at 12:26 PM ^
That could explain why Lewis isn't playing. He'd be tested in the passing game and with the tempo Colorado brings, so another week of healing and returning against a slower-paced, more run heavy offense in Wisconsin is preferable.
September 17th, 2016 at 12:57 PM ^
Oops, I mean Penn State.
September 17th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
Because he turned down the NFL to play Michigan football this year, not to sit there like a china doll.
September 17th, 2016 at 12:33 PM ^
They said he wasn't practicing early in the week and they would see toward the end of the week, so not very surprising. I agree it's a little worrisome, but if they thought he might practice this week, he must at least be close. I expect to see him next week.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:28 AM ^
Pretty wild we have 3 starters out and it's not the end of the world. Things have changed very quickly.

It's fine now, but if they're not ready by Wisconsin, or if the scary happens and they're not ready by MSU, then we're in serious trouble.
The one silver lining is that the guys backing them up are getting really valuable playing time and they'll be ready to take over come next year.

But Gary, Godin, Winovich, Clark, and Stribling are getting more PT than they otherwise would have.

Godin, Clark, and Stribling won't be back next year though...
September 17th, 2016 at 12:04 PM ^
the day I saw David Molk lying on the block M after returning from a broken bone in his foot only to injure his knee.
Great as he was, he was only one player. . .
September 17th, 2016 at 11:29 AM ^
Officially concerned Lewis isn't going to be healthy all year. Backs can be an issue, especially if you keep trying to push it.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:31 AM ^
I'm concerned as well- hopefully it doesn't turn into a Caris situation
September 17th, 2016 at 11:55 AM ^
I don't think it's the back. I thought he was supposed to be back last week, but some leg muscle strain kept him out or something.

tightening up. Zordich surmised it was a result of overtraining:
“[H]e worked his tail off all summer. Probably worked a little too hard. I think that might have been a little too much torque on his body, and some of the issues that he has had the last couple weeks may have been from that. But he had a helluva camp and then all of a sudden his back started to tighten up, which affected his hamstring, which affected his quad and he’s just fighting through these things right now."
Backs are bad; hammies are terrible. Color me concerned. I hope he gets the rest he needs, and comes back at full strength later in the season.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:29 AM ^
I'd beg to differ. I think we'll need them next week.
Penn State has some great skill players and Barkley will cause his share of problems.

My wife would run for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns against PedState.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:29 AM ^
It's probably ok for them to sit in terms of winning, but I do wonder if it will ultimately hurt JL in terms of draft stock if he continues to sit. I guess there's a lot of film previously and he'll be in some big games this season, so hopefully not.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
Better to sit with an injury and have people drool over last year than play at less than 100% and have people question your talent (as the talking heads will undoubtedly do...)
September 17th, 2016 at 11:31 AM ^
Link to source?
September 17th, 2016 at 11:32 AM ^
Taco and Mone come as no surpirse. Was really hoping to see JL out there today even for just a few plays so he can get back to some game action beofre the B1G season begins.
Hopefully this is just Harbaugh really erring on the side of caution with him vs this now becoming an issue that will last the entire season.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:33 AM ^
Starting to feel like Caris all over again.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
Except for the fact Caris had a huge chunk of his career derailed by injury. Not so much JL.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
no worries
September 17th, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
Am I the only one just a little, I stress little, worried about their passing attack against a secondary without JL?
September 17th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
Colorado's "passing attack" is largely horizontal, not vertical. Lewis is good against both, but the rest of our secondary is just fine when they match up numbers-wise against the screen game.
September 17th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
I just keep thinking back to the Hawaii game when they came out 4 or 5 wide and threw all over on us. I think it was 2nd or 3rd quarter maybe. I'm sure our Dline will take care of any time their qb has to throw. So I'll just sit back, relax, and enjoy this W.
September 17th, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
They didn't "throw all over us." They got a few slants and a post. They didn't score and barely got to 200 yards on the day. The sky is not falling. 99.9% of games involve the opposition getting positive yards.
