Denard WILL Start vs. Minnesota
Sorry no link (yet) but it was just posted on the "BottomLine" on ESPN that Denard Robinson will start tomorrow at Minnesota. I hope that is enough to go on; if not please delete and a post can be made once a true source is out for the "news". Once more is out I'd be happy to post any relevent info. regarding the injury and how Denard has been coping/will cope with said injury. Great news for us Michigan fans! Go Blue.
Edit: (5:35 Central Time) - I'm thinking someone jumped the gun because this "story" hasn't been revealed to be true anywhere or by anyone, yet. I apologize if this post ends up being false because I also jumped the gun after seeing the aforementioned "headline" earlier this afternoon.

Hopefully he will cope by handing off a lot. This would be a great opportunity for the tailbacks to get involved in a successful running attack.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
I'd be skeptical of Denard starting even if Hoke pinky promised.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
Hopefully our RB's finally produce giving us a 40-0 lead in the first half so we can get Gardner/Bellomy some in-game reps in the 2nd.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
Once we are up 40-0, wouldn't you think that Bellmoy will get the majority of the snaps?
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
Unless Gardner comes in when we're up 30-0...then no. Gardner has been getting more snaps at QB this week than Bellomy and Denard which likely means they're trying to prep Gardner for the backup roll should Denard go down again.
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:13 PM ^
It implies that the coaches have realized that Gardner being kind of meh as a reciver + Bellomy clearly not being ready x ulnar nerver compression = welcome back to full time QB status for number 12.

DG was having an All-Big Ten type of year until the last couple games. At one point he was averaging 75 yards and a touchdown per game. I'm not sure if you realize, but that's a 1,000 yard season.
When you're QB isn't a great thrower, and gets hurt...and then the backup isn't ready, it's going to hurt your numbers.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:48 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
Les has a great team, but it's going to be tough for them to challenge Purdue for the Big Ten title.
November 2nd, 2012 at 5:20 PM ^
Well Les and co successfully survived the monster game All American Gholston and Heisman candidate Leveon Bell, had. Let's see their highlights again. Wow! NFL scouts are you watching this?
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:51 PM ^
I WILL be watching tomorrow at noon to see if that report is right. And i DO hope it's true but if not, then I EXPECT Devon to have a good game as his replacement.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:08 PM ^

November 2nd, 2012 at 4:40 PM ^
Only if it's Deven Smith
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:41 PM ^
I hope we beat the Gophers tomorrow like my Eagles are going to beat your Explorers. (Hope, on both accounts).
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
From what I understand about the injury (and I'm no doctor) it just takes time to get feeling back. He could be fine right now, but if he hits it again the same thing could happen. You will see him hand off plenty on Saturday though.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:07 PM ^
^^^ I am a doctor and....what he said.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:10 PM ^
the combination of "I am a doctor" and your avatar...it made me lol
..."Our pets heads are falling off!"
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
but I can spell it - Denard will play well and conservatively......Defense wins it
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:32 PM ^
I could see our defense scoring enough points to beat Minnesota.
November 3rd, 2012 at 1:36 AM ^
Gibbons kicks three FGs in overtime
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
There is a lot at risk moving forward with having him on the field as QB. Saturday could be our best shot at getting a backup QB prepped for games 9 thru 12 and possibly the B1G CG. I think we see Denard play, but in unconventional looks/formations relative to other games up to this point.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:58 PM ^
on special teams. I see a big day leading and busting the wedge.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
ESPN also talked about the concussion Denard received at Nebraska!?!? Is there ANY truth to this or is it just the World Wide Leader showing their disdain for the B1G?
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:44 PM ^
Maybe they thought his elbow got concussed.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:44 PM ^

I hate to play quote police/douchebag, but that kid (who had himself one hell of a child acting career) did not utter the "tumor" line. The character named 'Loel' did, he had a few other dark ones about death as well.
The kid above's funniest line was probably, "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina", to which Mr. Kimball responds, "thanks for the tip". This was part of the "who is your daddy, and what does he do?" game.
Also, Richard Tyson, what happened to that guy?
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
But I couldn't copy/paste Loel's picture w/iphone for some reason.
November 3rd, 2012 at 1:20 AM ^
Wow. Just wow. Not sure if impressed or disturbed.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
-coach home
November 3rd, 2012 at 4:48 AM ^
He's just got a little thingy with his head.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
and they were referencing Hoke's radio show. I'll believe it when I see it.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
Shields to max in right upper quadrant.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
I'm thinking this will happen vs. Minnesota:
November 2nd, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
for referencing TWO of my favorite tv shows!
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 5:24 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:40 PM ^
Denard's doing well. He's getting back, he's getting healthy. He's ready to go.Made me feel a little better for some reason.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:29 PM ^
November 3rd, 2012 at 1:07 AM ^
November 3rd, 2012 at 1:08 AM ^
November 3rd, 2012 at 1:10 AM ^
November 3rd, 2012 at 8:36 AM ^
It would be nice to limit his game to the 1st half....let's see if we can open it up enough for him to rest in the 2nd half.
November 3rd, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
