Why it Matters
Kalel Mullings has demonstrated his worth as the No. 3 running back for the Wolverines this season. Although the Wolverines boast the dynamic duo of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards to lead their running game, the absence of Mullings and Stokes raises questions about the depth in their backfield.
Tonight’s game, commencing at 7:30 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on NBC Sports/Peacock, and the Wolverine faithful eagerly await the unfolding drama on the field.
TL;DR (too long didn’t read)
- Michigan grapples with key running back absences as CJ Stokes is ruled OUT, and Kalel Mullings remains Questionable.
- Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards take the reins in the running game for the Wolverines.
- Coach Harbaugh’s strategy in managing the injured running backs will be a focal point in the game.
Bottom Line – Adapting to Challenges
Though Michigan’s depth at the running back position will take a hit on Saturday night, they certainly have more than enough firepower to make up for it. The Wolverines are currently listed as a 24.5-point favorite, and you can bet they will be focused to beat the Spartans.
