Michigan surprisingly lists multiple starters as ‘questionable’ before Oklahoma game
Published:
Michigan may be playing shorthanded against Oklahoma on Saturday night in Norman.
The Wolverines released an updated availability report on Saturday afternoon just hours before kickoff against the Sooners. Key players such as offensive lineman Andrew Sprague, outside linebacker Derrick Moore, tight end Marlin Klein and safety Rod Moore are listed as questionable for this contest.
Freshman cornerback Shamari Earls and a few other players have also been ruled out for the game.
Here’s a full look at the availability report with less than hour to go before kickoff.
Michigan will also be without key linebacker Jaishawn Barham in the first half after he was ejected for targeting in the second half against New Mexico last week. Barham is one of Michigan’s most important defensive players.
Depth at tight end is also a big concern with Klein and Hogan Hansen both listed as questionable.
Michigan is looking to start 2-0 on the season. This will be the first test for true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, who made his collegiate debut last weekend against the Lobos. He look good in that first start by all accounts as he threw for 251 yards in a 34-17 victory.
Kickoff against Oklahoma is set for 7 p.m. ET.
