ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines are taking the field at 9 p.m. against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors after a long lightning delay.
Michigan is looking to get out to a 2-0 start to the season, but the maize and blue will try without a key player.
Michigan was without starter Ryan Hayes, who was part of the Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line last year, but he warmed up and it appears that he will take the field with the rest of the starters.
While Michigan gets its starter back, the Wolverines will be without Karsen Barnhart against Hawaii. Barnhart started in place of Hayes last week, but he went out towards the end of the first quarter last week. Barnhart was seen with a walking boot, so we do not know yet how long he may be out. Sophomore Giovanni El-Hadi took the place of the injured Barnhart against Colorado State, so we would assume he may be the first lineman off the bench if needed.
Michigan linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green missed Week 1 due to injury. He was dressed and warmed up, but there are reports that he is not going to play against the Rainbow Warriors.
