Just wondering what the MGoInsiders know...

Desmond Morgan's absence today is due to injury, UM confirms

He had a worse than usual performance I wonder if that may have also been injury related. An injury could explain the unusually high PT for Ross that game and some of Morgan's performance.

Hope he rests up and comes back healthy for OSU. I am really excited for our LB core over the next few years. Doesn't seem like Morgan is only a sophmore.

Good opportunity for Ross today, who finished strong against NW. Hope Morgan's okay.

but I don't know that he played all that well. At least toward the end, a lot of those guys coming out of the backfield looked like his responsibility. I'll wait for the UFR to pass judgement, though...

I think Morgan has a concussion or concussion symptoms. Just what I've heard on the twitter machine . . .

so he's back for The Game next week. Who gets more minutes in his absence - Cam Gordon, James Ross, Joe Bolden, other?

Considering Cam Gordon doesn't play the same position as Morgan, I'd have to say Ross (and perhaps Bolden, since MIKE and WILL are somewhat interchangeable).

We also might see Brandin Hawthorne, I guess...

Along the same note, Denard isn't taking snaps vs the defense in warm ups. Bellomy back taking second team snaps.

the Live Blog. Is there a minimum number of points required? Maybe my old school iPad needs to be upgraded? I'm stuck on a plane with no TV access so the Live Blog is a sweet.

It's not a points thing, I've never had a comment posted on a live blog. Lots of people posting, only so many can be posted.

Not saying that's what it is...but he has a history. And it is rumored (as stated above) that's what it is. Ross started earlier this year because of this.

Sucks, because Ross was the better fit vs. NW, but Morgan is the better fit vs. Iowa. It'll be a good chance for Ross to get some extended reps vs. a good blocking/power team.
