Rutgers Star Janarion Grant Out For The Year
Since we are discussing injuries to future opponents, here are a couple for next weeks opponent.
I was watching this game and saw Grant go down when King stepped on his lower leg. He was about 95% of Rutgers Offense before getting hurt. This is a major loss for them. He appeared to be wearing a soft cast on the sideline in the second half.
According to the article Quanzell Lambert, who was named the best defensive lineman by the coaches last year, is also out for the season. I didnt notice him go down, and am not sure how big of a loss that will be for them.
They were boh Seniors and, like Clark, are likely not elligible for a medical redshirt.

I guess Rutgers is no longer an East Division favorite then

Wisconsin is this week.

Yeah I mean, I'm sure all of us here know the schedule, just a matter of phrasing
September 27th, 2016 at 11:12 AM ^
Coulda swore we play OSU this week...
September 27th, 2016 at 11:17 AM ^
I get it, you're pointing at a calendar!
September 27th, 2016 at 11:11 AM ^
Since when is the Saturday four days from now considered next week?
September 27th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
Beat wisconsin.
September 27th, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
Well.. the douches usually go to MLive, but hey thanks for the update

Apparently it's injury week in the Big Ten.
Clark
VandeBerg
Reschke
Grant

Someone bubblewrap the rest of our guys.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:28 AM ^
September 27th, 2016 at 11:32 AM ^
OSU's turn
September 27th, 2016 at 11:08 AM ^
Grant was the one exciting thing about Rutgers football. Hope he can bounce back and either get another year, or be ready for a combine. Too much talent to not have a future in football.
September 27th, 2016 at 12:28 PM ^
Not sure why the OP said otherwise. One more game and it would have been too late.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:09 AM ^
Cue the "we have to focus on our opponent next week" board posters, as if our discussions on the board any impact on Harbaugh's prep for the team.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
Beat wisconsin.

He was fun to watch. Hopeful for a quick and complete recovery.

god, how many year ending injuries are going to be announced in the BIG this week? Brutal week.
September 27th, 2016 at 1:18 PM ^
The team with more points on the scoreboard wins, as does the team with fewer injuries.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:11 AM ^
Why is Clark not eligible for a 6th year? On the Monday Presser, Harbaugh said they'll look into a 6th year for Clark, but many on the board say that he probably won't get it. Why?
September 27th, 2016 at 11:13 AM ^
I think it's just been historically pretty difficult to get, so people don't think he will be able to because he didn't have any obvious/documented injury his freshman year. Ed Davis being a notable exception to what I just said.
September 27th, 2016 at 2:51 PM ^
September 27th, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
The question is whether he has any of his redshirt eligibility left. He was redshirted earlier in his career.

that everything that has happened to Michigan has happened early enough in the season to get everyone back in time to make the push toward the B1G Championship! Yeah, it's a bummer about all this stuff happening to other teams, but, it is what it is. Nobody feels sorry for Michigan when our best players are injured. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't MSU been fairly healthy over the last 8 years.....? I mean, I can't recall a time in which they had serious injuries that prevented them from winning games...? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought one of the biggest factors in them always being so dominant the past 3-4 years was their ability to stay healthy.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:31 AM ^
I like your optimism, but early injuries don't preclude us from more injuries later... we most certainly will have more. Its football, everyone takes injuries.
Also, I think MSU had pretty significant injuries on their O-line last year (or maybe two years ago) but at any rate, everyone gets injuries. I think the biggest factor in them being dominant is playing good football.
EDIT: while I stand by the above statements, reading them makes me sound like a real downer. Feel free to neg...

"Star" and "Rutgers" should never be in the same sentence
September 27th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
on the chart for Ace's preview of the game he would definitely have a star on his name.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:22 AM ^
Generally I oppose red-shirt-burning, but injuries are a big argument for having as many guys (dudes, if possible) available with in-game experience who are ready to step up and contribute. Harbaugh's play-everyone-who-can-contribute approach, combined with his ability to recruit players ready to contribute early in their careers, seems like a significant long-term positive for the program. Bottom line: you've gotta be able to pick up and keep winning, even if key players go down to injury.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
Another facet to this is when guys go down to season-ending injuries after already taking a redshirt year, it's a wasted year anyway. Look at Mone last year as an example. He wasn't going to be healthy enough to contribute, but since he played his first year instead of redshirting, he was able to redshirt last year, plus he got the benefit of that first year playing time. Maybe you're able to get a sixth year, but that's a longshot and for better players, would they even stick around for that long?
Better to start getting them experience early (assuming they're ready) and have the redshirt year in your back pocket if the injury bug does happen to unfortunately strike...
September 27th, 2016 at 6:31 PM ^
That's another positive side to burning them here.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:22 AM ^
Tough for these kids and their parents. Hopefully, they get their degrees on time and fully recover.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:24 AM ^
game-planning hard for Wisconsin, then shifting half of the staff to a focus on OSU.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:25 AM ^
very interesting to say the least.
He had just ripped off a 76 yard catch and run to give Rutgers first and goal at the 3, when he was injured. The score was 0-0 just before the half. They couldn't punch it in after 3 downs, and rather than kick the FG to go up 3-0, Ash eleceted to go for it and they failed. Iowa then drove 99 yards for TD to go into halftime with a 7-0 lead.
September 27th, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
Man, football is a dangerous game. Just about every single team is 100% guaranteed to have a season-ending injury to a key player. I don't think there is any other sport like that.
