Toledo Blade: Article by Joe Vardon

WOLVERINES NOTEBOOK

UM's Minor, Threet hurt in defeat

ANN ARBOR - The losses are beginning to pile up for Michigan, and so are the injuries.

The Wolverines were banged up even before they fell 13-10 to Toledo, then saw their starting quarterback and one of their running backs forced out of yesterday's contest.

Running back Brandon Minor was taken to Ann Arbor's University Hospital with injured ribs, according to UM coach Rich Rodriguez. Quarterback Steven Threet suffered a bruised elbow in the first half and did not return for the third quarter.

Minor reeled in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Threet late in the first quarter.

He apparently took a shot to the ribs, and he did not return. An emergency room employee said Minor was still at the hospital last night.

Rodriguez said Threet was removed because of the bruised elbow but also said his quarterback was struggling even before the injury.
