Know there’s been a lot of questions about the status of tonight’s Michigan-Rutgers game. It my understanding Michigan will be extremely short handed— w/o Terrence Williams, Frankie Collins and Brandon Johns, while Zeb Jackson did not make the trip (unrelated to covid).

What’s going on with Zeb this year?

For Michigan, five players and one staffer did not make the trip to Rutgers. Brandon Johns Jr., Frankie Collins, Terrance Williams II, Jaron Faulds, and staffer Jaaron Simmons did not travel for medical reasons. Zeb Jackson did not travel due to private, personal reasons.

Welp, let’s see how things would out with Caleb Houstan at the 4 for extended stretches…

Michigan essentially doesn't have a backup 1 or a backup 4 tonight. Foul trouble is obviously important but this will also force Michigan to play small (Bufkin-Houstan at the 3/4) more than it has this season which will be an interesting experiment.
