Kwity Paye out for Wisconsin
November 13th, 2020 at 3:18 PM ^
Earlier in the week, Jim Harbaugh confirmed that Aidan Hutchinson's injury would require surgery and that his 2020 season is likely over. Now, Wolverine Digest has learned that Michigan will also be without Kwity Paye this weekend as well.
Paye was dinged up against the Hoosiers as was Hutchinson with what looked like a groin or hip injury. He played 59 of 94 snaps, but could not get back to game ready throughout the course of the week.
Expectations are that Carlo Kemp will bump out to the anchor position normally occupied by Hutchinson with Taylor Upshaw starting at the other end position. Gabe Newburg will pack up Kemp, while Luiji Vilain backs up Upshaw. Christopher Hinton, Donovan Jeter and Julius Welschof will eat up the bulk of the snaps on the interior with Jess Speight and Mazi Smith sprinkled in as well.

The messed up thing is that both players were like a nanosecond from getting a sack, camera pans to the receiver to follow the pass ... camera goes back and they're hurt. No clue how either one actually got injured.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
I don’t get moving Kemp out to to DE. I’d rather see what we have with Upshaw, Vilain, Ojabo, and Newburg. Hell, throw McGregor out there and see what he does.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
Maybe anticipating no Mertz for Wisky and a run heavy gameplan from them. More beef on the line I suppose. Upshaw and Vilain are kinda of a small combination for Wisky.
November 13th, 2020 at 5:53 PM ^
November 13th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
Has McGregor been cleared to play since his knee injury last year?
November 13th, 2020 at 6:31 PM ^
No problem man. We have tons of depth through recruiting and talent development.
November 13th, 2020 at 6:56 PM ^
good one
November 13th, 2020 at 3:19 PM ^
2020. Welp.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:45 PM ^
New WDE: Bench Mason.
November 13th, 2020 at 6:36 PM ^
Why not just have him play a down at every position like Halter/Romine did for the Tigers?
November 13th, 2020 at 9:26 PM ^
That would be better than DT, where they played him previously.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:19 PM ^
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in ourselves, but in our stars.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Brutus is going to fault our stars in a few weeks.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
You, uh, have that backwards.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:36 PM ^
Exactly!
November 13th, 2020 at 4:46 PM ^
It's the Christmas Ham Curse!
November 13th, 2020 at 3:20 PM ^
Perhaps call up some players from the JV team.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:20 PM ^
Wow we are going to get rolled over tmrw night...
November 13th, 2020 at 4:09 PM ^
Well, at least it won't be in prime time or on a national telecast.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:22 PM ^
Guess getting our ass kicked is still worthy of prime time TV? Thought that would have gotten old by now but apparently not. Must still bring plenty of eyeballs. Highest ratings probably in Ohio.
November 13th, 2020 at 5:10 PM ^
All the stud recruits visiting are gonna love watching this!!!!
November 13th, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
You’d think by now all of our games would be 12pm on BTN since we’re the new Rutgers this year.
November 13th, 2020 at 6:27 PM ^
This is not good, but I laid the points well before this was public. Until shown differently the assumption will be more of the same. Sooner or later it will be nice to be wrong.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:24 PM ^
The string of never ending dong punches continues unabated.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Harbaugh year 6 - thank you sir, may I have another!!!
November 13th, 2020 at 4:58 PM ^
Lol, I had read this as "...dong punch contimues (while) urinating."
November 13th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
Not recommended.
November 13th, 2020 at 8:15 PM ^
From my experience ball punches are much worse than dong punches.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:24 PM ^
For god's sake... This season was dicey enough, and now we are likely without our two starting tackles and two starting defensive ends. It would have been so much better for the long term prospects of this team if the season was never reinstated. Never let someone tell you it can't get any worse. It can ALWAYS get worse.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:33 PM ^
Now come more hot takes about this is all the coaching staff's fault and everyone needs to be fired.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
No but the dogshit gameplans the last two games and Michigan's inability to play zone competently are.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:42 PM ^
Being two players away from being an objectively worse defense than illinois and Rutgers in year 6 is bad coaching
November 13th, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Last time we checked, they were in charge of recruiting and player development.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:00 PM ^
Maybe it's better these shortcomings are discovered in a "wasted" season...including the apparent coaching limitations.
November 13th, 2020 at 5:47 PM ^
Yes. This^ Goddammit. I wonder how many recruits will bail.
November 13th, 2020 at 8:21 PM ^
This is my first time seeing the entire gif and it is frickin terrifying
November 13th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
May as well start getting the Fr/So experience at this point. It's becoming (if it wasn't already from the start) just an extended spring practice.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:33 PM ^
Would not fault Paye if he shut it down for the season at some point. Go get paid, forget risking yourself for a lost season. Same thing with Mayfield. Young guys at least get experience for next year.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:56 PM ^
Given the (inevitable and predictable) COVID surge, we'll be seeing a ton more players opt out -- especially those on teams that aren't contending. And I wouldn't blame any of them one bit.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:40 PM ^
That’s just great. Let’s cancel the whole season
November 13th, 2020 at 4:10 PM ^
Cancel our season, let the others play. Move up BB season.
November 13th, 2020 at 10:43 PM ^
So we can lose to Ohio State and watch MSU win the Big Ten?? Yes, please, hurry.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
Yeah don't think I'll be watching this episode of the Night Gallery.
November 13th, 2020 at 5:14 PM ^
Then watch twilight zone instead. It’s nice and cheery.
November 13th, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
Listen our coaching has been a shitshow but our weekly "will not play" list matches teams going through COVID.
Our best CB and WR
Our 2 best DEs
Our 2 best Oline
That's our 6 best players. Seriously our BPONE in hindsight was too optimistic.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
Yes, the fire Harbaugh crowd needs to take into account the fact that we are missing our six best players. We were missing four of them last week, and then the other two went down mid game. Losing to state was an unmitigated disaster/ coaching failure, but firing a coach with a 48-20 record right now is emotional foolishness. Thankfully these decisions are not made by you all! This is the same crowd that was loudly and emotionally calling for Beilein’s head several years ago.
Next year‘s roster looks to be a team that could potentially contend for a B1G championship. Angry fans calling for Harbaugh‘s head during the pandemic are the typical emotional, shortsighted takes I have sadly come to expect from a significant population on this board.
November 13th, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
Sorry Charlie those 48 wins are against the Rutgers of the world ..JH CANT win the Big game...PERIOD..exactly HOW much evidence of that do u need?
