Michigan banged up for Wisconsin game

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The eighth-ranked Michigan Wolverines will be without at least two starters this Saturday when they host Big 10 foe Wisconsin.

In last weekend's 41-24 rout of Minnesota, the Wolverines lost linebacker Zach Kaufman and defensive back Zia Combs to injuries.

Kaufman suffered a left knee injury, and Combs hurt his spinal cord. Both injuries were season-ending.

Kaufman's left knee injury is a big blow to the Wolverines, who already have lost linebackers Roy Manning and Lawrence Reid for the season.

Kaufman had 43 tackles, two sacks, and one interception.

"We are not a very healthy football team right now," Carr said.

Michigan, 8-2 overall, still can win the Big 10 title if they beat the Badgers and second-ranked Ohio State in their season-ending contest on Nov. 23.
