Corum, Edwards, Morris, Schoonmaker all playing

This comes second hand but the source is very reliable. All four guys are playing tomorrow. I do not want to get anyone in trouble, but they heard this directly from someone that was at practice.

This news is undoubtedly great to hear, but I'm also not surprised one bit.  In fact, the only way I'll be surprised is if any of them are 'limited' in some way tomorrow afternoon.

I'm sure this source saw them but I could have told you this a minute after last week's game ended.  Blake Corum may not be able to feel his legs below his waist but he'll play, and my guess is Edwards will at least give it a go (he was apparently warming up on the field before the second half of last week's game).  Schoonmaker and Morris were apparently dressed before last week's game so I assume that was a "Illinois isn't worth getting guys potential hurt" type of decision.

So yeah, I'd be shocked if anyone who hasn't been ruled out for the year doesn't at least warm up tomorrow, if not get some reps.

Honest question.  Harbaugh has indicated in the past that injury statuses can confer competitive advantages, and he has preferred to keep mum on same. Yet, we get info about what's going at practices (not trying to criticize OP). Now, I assume the injury status info is not that useful to OSU bc they already assumed such info but I would bet that the plays we are focusing on this week would be very useful to OSU.  What gives us assurance (if any) that OSU doesn't get inside info on our prep practices for The Game?

Is the answer that this source is comfortable revealing injury statuses but not the type of plays we are practicing this week?  It just seems that if one side is motivated enough, such info could be gotten when the stakes are so high.

The Vegas line slightly moved to OSU -8 today.  That concerns me a bit. The casinos are the ultimate insiders.  It's their job, after all. If the casinos discovered Corum AND Edwards are playing, no way that line gets worse.  It could only get better.

 

My guess?  Corum plays, but isnt at 100%.  Edwards doesnt play.  Schoonmaker plays.  Morris plays.

 

If Corum, Edwards, Schoonmaker and Morris were all playing tomorrow, there is no way the line would be OSU -8.  Michigan's style of play, with those 4 players returning, is the perfect style for defeating OSU, just like UM proved last season.  You dont put UM at +8 if UM basically has all it star players back, and is still playing the style of football OSU cant handle.
