Q-Wash Not Playing Much Tonight?
Nothing definite, but I wouldn't be surprised if Quinton Washington didn't play much, if at all, tonight.

Don't panic: Michigan's going to be in the nickel for most of the game anyway, so Pipkins should be able to pick up the slack.

Just read this on twitter. Anybody happen to know what's up with this?
September 7th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
Probably just a boo-boo
September 7th, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
What more do you need to know??? Nickel = not much QWash
September 7th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
"Don't panic....Pipkins should be able to pick up the slack" makes it sound much more like an injury/suspension than a defensive alignment thing
September 7th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
it's clear that there's something wrong with Q-Wash b/c there's no reason to start pipkins in front of him. i heard balas had something on this too, but can't find anything.
September 7th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
It is an injury.
September 7th, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
I think it's just matchup
September 7th, 2013 at 1:42 PM ^
When we go to nickel we pull the NG.
Other than that, I'm not sure why we would see Pipkins instead of Washington.
September 7th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
This is somehow Lou Holtzs' fault.
September 7th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
I was going to blame the pope, but Lou holtz for sure.

Balas had a separate tweet earlier about an offensive player being unavailable for the game, but it would only affect depth. I have to think that Reynolds isn't fully back up to speed? Or Funchess' groin is still hurting (but that would affect more than just depth).
September 7th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
Borton said it wasn't Reynolds, that he would play tonight.
September 7th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
Will only affect depth I doubt it's a starting WR or TE
September 7th, 2013 at 4:30 PM ^
Funchess is out.... BOOOOOOO
September 7th, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
Personally, I'm concerned about ND's running game. If Washington is out, that hurts.
September 7th, 2013 at 2:42 PM ^
We need his presence in the middle. I'm not sold on Pipkins.
September 7th, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Hope it isn't anything major. Suspension would suck, but an injury would be worse. My guess is that, given the defensive alignment, it might not be a huge loss. Still weird.
September 7th, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
After some digging on twitter it looks like he hurt his ankle in the game last week. Sounds like he could play but may not be as effective. With "PIMPKINS" behind him not as effective likely means currently not the best option at the position.
September 7th, 2013 at 5:20 PM ^
That last part was painful to read
September 7th, 2013 at 3:21 PM ^
Oops, wrong thread
September 7th, 2013 at 3:22 PM ^
My point here isn't threadworthy, so I'll post it in this thread. Is there anything more astounding than the fecundity of Mrs. Bullough? How many of these creatures has this woman produced? There seems to be a neverending supply of buzz-cutted meathead Bulloughs just waiting to restock the MSU offensive and defensive backfields.

I'm pretty sure Q got dinged up last week and he didn't come back in the game. So maybe lingering injury concern.
September 7th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
This means more Dymonte, so I'm kind of excited.
September 7th, 2013 at 3:40 PM ^
He's the first in for our Nickel package, if I'm not mistaken.
September 7th, 2013 at 3:40 PM ^
I'd like to think it means more Stribling and Avery, since he's supposed to be back.
September 7th, 2013 at 4:30 PM ^
I'd rather have our senior starting nose tackle rather than a freshman backup safety/nickel corner, but maybe that's just me.
September 7th, 2013 at 4:40 PM ^
honestly. wtf are you people above talking about? do you want to win the game or be giddy about true freshmen undersized DBs playing. embarrassing.
September 7th, 2013 at 6:54 PM ^
senior starting DT with all the game experience playing ,but if he's not gonna be effective, I understand.
September 7th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
Regardless, I'm sure the coaches know what they're doing.
