Shit. Those are all pretty big contributors on our offense. Yes, we are pretty stocked at RB and TE, but both of those guys are real difference makers. That said, I can see Henning filling the Edwards roll nicely.  And hopefully all of our other talented TE can pick up the slack for All. This might be a game in which we get to see a lot from our deep and talented WR room.

We are also playing without Cade. Yes, he’s the backup, and yes he has struggled this year, but if JJ gets injured or even has to come out for a series or two for something minor, it could get scary. It is critical that the OL keep JJ clean and avoid sacks. Also, while I don’t want to play scared, I’d be fine with cutting down the number of times JJ takes off with the ball.

Surprised that Edwards is still out...I guess I thought it was a minor thing. B1G opener would expect him to play if it was realistic/possible so that's not good news. Feeling more and more like All may in fact be out indefinitely/for the season, which sucks but isn't fatal.

My take is that this game will be more of a test than previously thought, since we have OL questions and our depth at RB/TE will be tested. Hopefully our depth at QB will NOT be tested.

Go Blue!

Offense will score. What will the defense do? I get that nhg is out but he hasn't played at all. This is the defense. They are pretty healthy. Maryland likely to play loose unless we bring it to them

I’m excited how intense this feels. That’s good, IMO. Was around a good bit of the guys (I work in medical and am around a lot of cfb teams). It was just a coincidence this week I’m around 3-4 times a year. feels intense. More than a normal BIG game. Take that for whatever it’s worth…probably not much…but I was also around in like ‘14 before Maryland…much different feel..to say the least  

all business. No f**kery. 
 

Edit: I work in med device, nothing to do with any injuries just some general “upkeep”. Keep your eyes out for those beautiful knee braces on the o-lineman 😀

Too bad Fox has a jackass wearing gray & red in the desk set.   Oh well, at least Michigan did not struggle with a "tougher" ND team that lost to Marshall at home.  He does know college football.
