Injuries mounted for both combatants
It felt like every time someone possessed the ball that there were players getting hurt in bunches for either squad.
After being relatively healthy for the better part of the season, Michigan football’s injuries finally caught up to them. Luckily most of them weren’t serious, except for cornerback Gemon Green who was shown leaving the field in a lot of pain.
There was no immediate update on Green, however. From the looks of it though things didn’t look good for him and betting on that alone means he probably won’t be returning anytime soon.
DJ Turner stepped in for Green and played admirably as he has shown so far this year. He and Vincent Gray will have to hold down the fort, while Green fights to get back to 100%.
For the rest of the pack, Michigan football will do everything in its power to have them all back for its crucial run that remains in November.
Harbaugh seemed to indicate the injuries to several offensive players -- Blake Corum, Andrel Anthony, A.J. Henning, Erick All -- were not overly serious. But no timeline on availability.

Even their starting running back Stephen Carr fell victim to the injury bug and did not return, which left the Hoosiers with walk-ons trying to fill his void.
