Speaking on "Inside Michigan Football: with team color commentator Jon Jansen on Monday, Sept. 21, Whittingham discussed finding out from offensive line coach Jim Harding less than 24 hours before the Wolverines ' game against UTEP on Saturday that Sprague would be a scratch.
WAITING FOR THE BOOM: Michigan's lack of explosive plays could sting against vaunted Iowa defense "My response was 'Why, what happened between, you know, half hour ago and now?'
That's the major concern right now, the primary concern is his health." The severity of Sprague's ailment remains unknown
He was one of two offensive linemen who emerged as a starter early in fall camp, when Harding said the right tackle spot was "his to lose." Without Sprague, U-M had to shuffle its line, moving Evan Link back to left tackle (where he started all last season when healthy) and bounced Blake Frazier over to the right side.
