You always hate to see our guys hurt, but history repeated itself today. The last three times we've been to Ann Arbor and there's been significant doubt as to the win, we've had a freshman step in for an injured (or otherwise departed) player and make a major contribution.

2005: Laurinaitis for Carpenter

2013: Elflein for Hall

2017: Haskins (and to a lesser extent Munford)

The coaches took some heat in the game threads today, but give them credit for continually preparing our backups so that if they're needed in crunch time, they usually deliver.
