Submitted by ChalmersE on

Does anyone know the chances that he could play in the bowl game?

If the injury is a torn pectoral, the recovery is usually around 6 months. Even spring practice may be optimistic.

As mentioned above, I think Rudock's availability is the biggest injury concern right now. I think Michigan has enough players to manage on DL without Glasgow for one game. I think the offense could potentially fall apart without Rudock.

At first when it occurred, I wondered the same.  How long?  But after a little bit of Googling, I realized it's not just a boo-boo.  Now that I'm partially aware I realize that it's a much worse injury than I thought when I was totally unaware.   Torn chest muscles don't heal in two months.

in part on whether M can use the 2 weeks of bowl practice to improve the OL run blocking.  With a functional run game Speight instead of Rudock is less of an issue than with the way the running game has been in November.

Also depends on the style of offense the opponent runs.  A good tempo read option offense will be tough for Michigan w/out Glasgow.  See IU and OSU games.

by perimeter runs not up the middle run plays. Glasgow would have had little impact stopping those runs. Both Indiana and OSU exploited the outside run weakness using the option scheme.

Yep, are problem was Bolden. Really like what the team accomplished this year, but our LB's blow. Having had some time to think about yesterday's game sober, can't be completely shocked. It's been mentioned before, we say what Indiana did to our D, but we couldn't overcome due to a good Ohio D. Also, Urban Meyer is still a coward for bowing down to his "Carl Rove" like RB.

however, I wouldn't underestimate the importance of a penetrating NT on even stretch plays. When you get interior penetration to the playside of the center, it mucks up backside linemen moving laterally toward the playside, and can also screw up interior linemen trying to release to get second level blocks. That keeps linebackers clean to move laterally with the stretch run.

Not saying it's everything, but there's a big knock-on effect by causing troubles in the middle that ripples outside.

I though Glasgow was solid this year, but when did he become this monster that was the basis of our whole defense? Seems to me he was our 3rd or 4th best D lineman at best. What I do think it hurt though was that Henry had to move back inside more, he was much better outside.

Would be great to get both Glasgow and Rudock back for the bowl game. Rudock really stepped up near the end of the season. No way Michigan sniffs 9 wins without Rudock.
