For the second year in a row, Michigan football is dealing with some major injury issues heading into "The Game."
Chief among those injury concerns is fullback Max Bredeson. The fifth-year senior has a chance to be part of another team that beats Ohio State.
However, the Michigan football captain hurt something against Maryland, whether it be his leg or his foot -- he didn't want to say during a press conference on Tuesday.
Yet, the best fullback in college football did say he was going to try and play in "The Game."
Max Bredeson says he’s feeling “really good about it” as he hopes to play against Ohio State on Saturday.

“Whatever it takes. Got to find a way. I love this place too much not to try.”

"I love this place too much not to try"
That's the kind of comment that should make Michigan football fans want to run through a brick wall. His Michigan teammates, too.
Bredeson has been a driving force behind the rushing success of the Wolverines, who have rushed for at least 200 yards in four straight games. The offensive line has gotten plenty of credit, and it is well-deserved, but Bredeson is a captain for a reason.
Ohio State defenders will surely remember Bredeson drive blocking them into the ground last season, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind if he was on the sidelines, in crutches. Bredeson wasn't walking under his own power on Tuesday.
Yet, he promised to give it a go. Sherrone Moore said on Monday that if anyone would find a way to play, it would be Max Bredeson.
I certainly wouldn't bet against him.
