3 more freshmen played against Cincy
You all saw O'Maury Samuels get that last carry before the victory formation, but two more freshmen also played.
Brad Hawkins was one of the return options on the free kick after the safety.
Cesar Ruiz also got into the game on an extra point I believe.
He switched from #51 to #96, spotted below by yours truly.

I was at the game, didn't see any signs and on top of that all of the Cincinnati guys I met were super nice. In fact there was a Bearcats super fan in front of me (cool dude), which amazed me, because Cincinnati Football has superfans?

Back in 2007 in Madison, WI after a 37-21 Michigan loss (Ryan Mallett's two picks didn't help) I approached a young woman wearing an "Ann Arbor is a Whore" t-shirt (people do that stuff in Madison). I told her I had known Ann for many, many years. Her morals might slip a little after a couple beers, but she never, ever charged money for sexual favors. I considered it important to point that out, and suggested she modify her t-shirt accordingly.

Hawkins was also the returner opposite Crawford on every kickoff, FYI.

Yes Gerald.

Why 96?
September 10th, 2017 at 11:36 PM ^
Maybe the same reason JBB wore #95 last year.

51, a non-duplicate.
#96 is not permanent.
Jordan Anthony switched from #1 to #40 for the opener and is now at #34 I noticed yesterday and the roster reflects this change on MGoBlue.

Upside is he can come in as lined up as a TE and not have to report to the official to be eligible.
Even if you're not gonna do it, keep em honest a little.

Wondering why Kareem Walker didn't get that carry.
edit: He didn't even dress per NB.

When asked if Walker would get carries against UC he only said "We'll see".
September 11th, 2017 at 12:28 AM ^
I wondered same thing WD.
Heard a lot of positives this spring about KW.

Tough to run the play if you are not in a uniform as was reported during the game,
September 11th, 2017 at 1:54 AM ^
yep - i saw him in there as well.

anyone expected to start next year should probably be getting as much game experience as we can afford to give. Unfortunately, not a lot of mop up time in this one to get him more.
Plus, as we saw last year, seems like they'll get a number of these guys medical RS anyway.

Harbaugh needs to stave off on playing freshmen. We need more eligibility. Oh wait, all of Harbaugh's coached players will be gone by three years anyway.
September 11th, 2017 at 1:18 AM ^
Not really a fan of playing freshmen who aren't instant impact players or depth guys that need to play. I don't really get the Omaury Samuels redshirt burn when we have Ty Isaac, Chris Evans, and Higdon in front of him. A 5th year from him in 2021 is probably going to be more valuable than spot duty his freshmen year. This is part of why our roster is in such a hole right now from Hoke not redshirting anybody in 2013.
September 11th, 2017 at 1:59 AM ^
September 11th, 2017 at 2:33 AM ^
The team is too young right now. If Hoke didn't burn guys like Dymonte Thomas' redshirts to play special teams in 2013, we would have some more veterans on this team to help us win a big ten/national title.
September 11th, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
A) The team is not too young. Young teams win national championships, and Michigan is extremely talented and coached by one of the best staffs in college football.
B) Some of the players you are referring to who are playing this season will have a mysterious injury in the next couple games and their redshirt will come back on. It's how the game is played.
Summary: relax and trust Harbaugh.

And that is false information that keeps getting spread. It is a proposal , but it doesn't even get voted on til 2018. As of now, there is nothing in the proposal about retroactive red shirts..
September 11th, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
If they get "injured", they get an injury redshirt. It happened last year. I don't see how that's false info at all.
September 11th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
Right, but that's still a medical redshirt that isn't automatic. It goes through the NCAA process. Some people are taking that new proposal as gospel.
