Zirbel & Huyge Out, Recruiting Update

After spending the second half of last week on the proverbial blogging sideline, we had some catching-up to do. And with some of that stuff out of the way, we can move into recent news.

According to a my sources, Cory Zirbel and Mark Huyge are both injured. That's devastating news to a line that was already thin as ever. Huyge has a high ankle sprain, which we all know sucks big-time (just ask Mike Hart). And Zirbel has a nagging knee injury that could require surgery and could keep him out of the Utah game. So according to mgoblog, the lineup will look like this for game 1. Ugh.

Another verbal addition to the 09 class, kicker Anthony Fera. The 3-star recruit from Houston, TX is the latest recruit to sign up. Sort of an oddity given Michigan isn't exactly over-flowing with scholarships right now, and we have a sophomore kicker in Bryan Wright. I guess Rodriguez likes a little competish in the special teams dept.
