If you watched the SMU game last week, you probably know Michigan Football was down to its third string running back in the second half. Karan Higdon participated in warm ups but never saw the field, and Chris Evans went down in the second half with what appeared to be a leg injury.
We were unsure about the status of Evans and Higdon for the Nebraska game before running backs coach Jay Harbaugh addressed the media on Wednesday. Per Nick Baumgardner of the Detroit Free Press, Harbaugh “expects” both players to be ready to go on Saturday.
