Ohio State running back Miyan Williams will play once morest Michigan on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Williams, who was ejected from the field once morest Indiana on Nov. 12, missed last week’s win over Maryland. With TreVeyon Henderson out, Williams will be an integral part of the Buckeyes’ offense as they will rely on him for the majority of their run game.
Williams is Ohio State’s leading rusher, entering the day with 783 yards and averaging 6.7 per carry.
As for Michgian’s injured running backs, Blake Corum should try to battle a knee injury suffered last week, according to Thamel, but it’s unclear how effective he will be.
Corum looked back on the Wolverines’ win over Illinois last week following picking up the injury but only carried the ball twice in the second half.
Donovan Edwards is expected to return from a hand injury that kept him out of the game once morest Illinois. Offensive lineman Trevor Keegan and tight end Luke Schoonmaker are also expected to play, according to The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb.
Ohio State wide Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has been out since Oct. 22, will miss The Game, according to Thamel.
