Corum, Edwards, Morris, Schoonmaker all playing
November 25th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
You literally don't know anything about sports betting so please stop.
It is still -7.5 on almost every book.
November 25th, 2022 at 3:12 PM ^
..if only the "a" in "all" was capitalized this would be even better....which is how I originally read the OP
November 25th, 2022 at 3:54 PM ^
The dude had surgery.
November 25th, 2022 at 3:12 PM ^
I am quite surprised, considering we are now less than 24 hours from the game, that no reporter with legit cred has reported on who will play and not play. Tomorrow's game is going to be one of the biggest sporting events of the year in the U.S. There are ALOT of people (like us) who desperately want to know who is playing tomorrow.

Didn't Webb say Corum and Edwards would both go and be less than 75% or something?
November 25th, 2022 at 3:16 PM ^
Not with certainty.
November 25th, 2022 at 3:17 PM ^
Less than 75%? I don't like that
November 25th, 2022 at 3:21 PM ^
If both are at 69% that works.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:03 PM ^
That was Sam's pure guess as of Monday morning, not based on any inside intel.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:12 PM ^
No he did not
November 25th, 2022 at 4:27 PM ^
This is just a hunch but Sam Webb could be playing a rope-a-dope to mislead the buckeye press and fans. He knows more because he has inside contacts within the football program and I know this because I have had private conversations with him in the past.
We'll know more in pre game warm ups. Karsh and Jansen will be all over this on their pre game show so we'll really have to wait and see. Expect the best and not the worst.
Go Blue!
November 25th, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
With how the 21st century has gone with my Michigan fandom it's hard not to expect the worst. It's why I so badly wanted a three-game win streak against them. If Michigan could win tomorrow and next year, I'd be okay with them losing in 24.
November 25th, 2022 at 9:11 PM ^
Isn't it about time for pre-game warmups to commence?
November 25th, 2022 at 3:22 PM ^
Turgid with joy
November 25th, 2022 at 3:42 PM ^
They were always going to play, the question is how healthy they are. Not playing at all & visibly being too hurt to be a factor on their their first couple plays is pretty much the same thing.
I've heard things but I don't trust anything enough to pass it along as fact. That said, it's all on par with this. They're playing but one person says 90% and another says they're barely 50% so just stick to whatever the paysites are saying (which I'm not aware of).
November 25th, 2022 at 4:02 PM ^
Am I the only fan who thinks the following: "Harbaugh realized the outcome of the Illinois game would not determine the division title - and possibility to win the Big East, which would mean playing in the B1G CCG. A loss against Illinois and a win on Saturday - tomorrow, means another game next weekend. SO, rest the players who could benefit from a week off to ensure they are as healthy as possible for the game in Columbus."
I'm quite sure that EVERY player on the roster wants to participate in Columbus. And, certain players - if they're at "less than 100%" - will speak with Coach Harbaugh and let him know - I'll give everything I have.
Go Blue!
November 25th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
I think that's what a lot of people think. Especially after the UFRs and it appeared UM was installing and running game plans geared for OSU even though they were playing Illinois.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:43 PM ^
Am I the only fan who thinks the following:
This has been discussed all week long here, so no.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:09 PM ^
Hold me, TomVH.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:11 PM ^
Tomorrow is all hands on deck. If these guys can play in any capacity, they’re going to play. Even if it’s just as a decoy.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
I wouldn’t agree. For road games there is a limit to the number of players who can dress (71?). We're not going to waste one of those spots on a decoy.
*beep beep* *Looks at watch* Uh oh. A decoy player just got injured…
November 25th, 2022 at 4:19 PM ^
Glass half full- hopefully they practiced well all week and wanting them to have a great game!
Despite the milder weather forecast, this helps Blake Corum loosen up better pre game and stay loose during the game. Not sure about the nature of the other injuries but this is for all the marbles.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
I would do whatever I could to get on the field as a player. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity
November 25th, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
Most of the season I have been optimistic about our odds beating OSU. The passing game issues and these injuries have made it difficult to fight of the BPONE.
November 25th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
Go Blue!
November 25th, 2022 at 5:58 PM ^
Lol there are lots of idiots that have more money than they know what to do with that lose bigger money than that.
I've seen several 300k plus moneyline bets that lost betting on favorites and the bettor would only win 50k
November 25th, 2022 at 6:15 PM ^
Anyone betting $700,000 on a sporting event is not exactly a MENSA candidate.
November 25th, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Playing v functional. That's the issue.
November 25th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
Wolverines offensive lineman Ryan Hayes may have had a slip of the tongue. In his assertion of the offense, he made it sound like U-M was preparing to be without the star running back.
"I think we've planned on this, he's a great player, but I think everybody else is going to step up with him out and I think we're up to the challenge and we'll do that," Hayes said, via The Michigan Insider.
November 25th, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
That was Hayes reply when asked IF Corum was out. You left out a key piece in that Hayes quote.
November 25th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
Was that a slip of the tongue or a carefully planned statement to give the vibe that Corum won't be playing, but now we know that he is?
November 25th, 2022 at 5:20 PM ^
Really hope you're right
November 25th, 2022 at 5:26 PM ^
So my take on the % of readiness is players who were dressed for last week were at a high enough state to go but not 100% so they were kept back. Corum ran for about 3 yds and seem to have the weight of a player or two on him. He played for one more and was a decoy blocker I think. Then his conversation with coaches he was persuaded to let the next man up and hold back for further analysis. So he probably was iffy and perhaps had some pain.
Not a doctor just that logic suggests Big Mike and Schoon are going to be good, Edwards will have great legs but no receiving and Corum is either effective or not. So Corum would be the most iffy. With Edwards and Schoonmaker and Morris we would be in pretty good shape if the RPO game is effective. I see this as great news. Go Blue!
November 25th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
Zero surprise. Michigan is healthy. Media has talked itself into thinking we have significant injuries.
November 25th, 2022 at 6:04 PM ^
From your post to God's ears.
If this is false, I will hunt you down, rip off your testicles, and shove them down your throat, into your not yet lifeless body.
If true, may the glory and riches of a thousand gods shine upon thee.
November 25th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
Speaking of God, I have prayed a novena for the health of these players several times this week. Here's to the power of prayer🙏
November 26th, 2022 at 4:57 AM ^
My daughters friend has many reptiles. I’ll summon the power of the serpent today if it’ll get us a win.
November 25th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
I want to see a lot two TE sets with Schoon and Loveland out there at the same time. We need the sure handedness from those two to keep the chains moving.
November 25th, 2022 at 7:06 PM ^
True, if huge
Hail!!! Let’s go boyzzzzzz
November 25th, 2022 at 7:24 PM ^
I hope all of the questionable guys on each team are able to go. Full strength, best team wins is how this rivalry is at its best. Plus, as much as us fans like to talk trash and whatnot, these are kids who want to play in this game. I have a lot of respect for Corum as a person from stories I’ve heard and he deserves this game for the season he’s had. Plus, as someone who was in the Big House in ‘95 I have irrational fears that his backup is Tim Biakabutuka.
November 25th, 2022 at 8:12 PM ^
Corum just tweeted out a video offering to promote produces. Video had Ann Arbor location tag. Hopefully, just a schedule tweet.
November 26th, 2022 at 8:07 AM ^
Don't love that, but seems highly likely to be scheduled. They're treating this like a state secret, if he'd carelessly tweeted out something that really revealed he didn't make the trip I don't think he'd leave it up 12 hors later.
November 25th, 2022 at 9:02 PM ^
There shouldn't be anyone out who has been in question as of late. They should all be ready to go tomorrow.
Only the season ending injuries and the mysterious NHG hamstring in terms of guys who are out.
November 25th, 2022 at 10:35 PM ^
The question is, how close to 100% are they all?
November 26th, 2022 at 8:39 AM ^
ESPN is now reporting Corum is "expected to attempt to play" but "isn't expected to be 100%" and "an air of ambiguity hangs over his potential effectiveness" whatever that means. Tone of the article generally not great, but no real news beyond confirming he's there as we thought. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35110565/sources-michi…
