Can I get a JBB status update por favor

Don’t think 76 played vs IU but he was dressed. Anyone know status for SAT?

Played a couple series early versus IU, then came out for Steuber. Not sure his status. Should be fine if I had to guess, but Steuber also played fine

wolverineswire had a report about this yesterday. He's been nursing an injury since Rutgers. They tried him out for a little bit against Indiana but decided it's best to let him rest so that he can be 100% for OSU. Steuber replaced him and did well enough. Link

JBB played the first series and looked good.  Stueber replaced him and did well.  But I think JBB was being protected for OSU.

Serious question: Has there EVER been an instance where new information was revealed in a thread started by a poster asking for new information?

One of the weird drawbacks to this being the blog for the more highly engaged portion of the Michigan fanbase is more that threads like this achieve their purpose far quicker than they might in other places. I think you'll find a lot more people here - myself among them - that are watching who goes in and out on almost every snap, so the useful lifespan of this thread is short because a fair number of people here know the answer straight away. 

It might be new to the OP, but they'll get that answer within moments here, then the rest of the thread is.....whatever you want it to be, I guess.

You make an excellent point. And the reason is, people care about the details of this program and take being informed about it on their own as a measure of their fanhood. It also explains why on any given Saturday, the complaints about anything can go off the charts.

The fact that most people here could actually explain the kind of blocking schemes that Michigan employs as a matter of fact is only a sign of this inveterate interest and accepted knowledge. I regard this as a point of emphasis for being a Michigan fan and a avid follower of this most excellent blog.

Hope he's good to go, but it was nice seeing Steuber out there. Looked like he held up pretty well for his first extended action which bodes well for next year. Also might mean the loss of Hudson isn't as big of a deal as it might have first appeared.

was good to see Steuber play well, for next year...we are set at both tackle spots.

Harbaugh isn't gonna disclose JBB's health prior to game... no way... he will leave it in limbo.

JBB tweaked his knee in the PSU game. I think he played a bit sore against Rutgers. It looks like he played the first two series and then came out for the remainder of the game. May have been a test and when he said his knee was still a bit sore, he got yanked to rest up for the OSU game.
