INDIANAPOLIS — For the third year in a row, Michigan finds itself in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship.
For the second time in three years, the Wolverines are set to face Big Ten West champions, Iowa. Michigan, who went the regular season without a blemish for the second year in a row, has been extremely healthy for a grueling 12-game schedule.
The Wolverines did lose starting guard Zak Zinter to a leg injury and he will be out the rest of the season, but the only other injury from a week ago was cornerback Will Johnson who was seen with a wrap on his leg on the sideline. After Michigan released its injury report prior to the B1G Championship game against Iowa, it appears Johnson might try and give it a go — he is listed as questionable.
Starting center Drake Nugent is also listed as questionable against the Hawkeyes. Don’t be shocked if Johnson suits up and participates in warmup, but doesn’t actually play against Iowa unless Michigan absolutely would need him. Other than Zinter, the other Michigan player ruled out against Iowa is linebacker Jimmy Rolder. The game will kick at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.
