ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan star offensive lineman Zak Zinter left Saturday's game late in the third quarter with what appeared to be a serious left leg injury.
Zinter's leg buckled while he was blocking on an 18-yard pass from J.J. McCarthy to tight end AJ Barner with 2:19 left in the third quarter and the game tied at 17-17. Players quickly motioned for a medical cart.
As the crowd chanted, "Let's go Zak," medical personnel loaded Zinter onto the cart and transported him out of the stadium. Michigan's Blake Corum scored on the ensuring play and held up the numbers six and five, to recognize Zinter, who has made 42 career starts and missed only one game in his Wolverines career.
