Michigan Football Faces Oregon Amid Injury Concerns

Michigan Wolverines cornerback Will Johnson is recovering from a lower-leg injury and is expected to return this season, with head coach Sherrone Moore expressing confidence in his competitive spirit. Johnson's absence was felt in Michigan's recent victory over Michigan State, where the defense struggled without him. The Wolverines have faced criticism for their quarterback situation, with Moore rotating between Davis Warren, Alex Orji, and Jack Tuttle, ultimately deciding to start Warren again against Oregon. Despite a win against MSU, the passing attack remains underwhelming, and improvements are necessary as they prepare for the top-ranked Oregon Ducks. Moore acknowledged the need for better performance and adjustments moving forward, emphasizing the importance of gap soundness against Oregon's elite quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Additionally, the Big Ten is investigating a post-game scuffle that occurred after the Michigan-Michigan State game.
