Michigan Eyes Citrus Bowl vs. Texas as Moore Says Marshall Ready, Haynes and Hausmann Uncertain

Moore expects more players to suit up than sit out.

Overview

  • Michigan will face No. 13 Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando on Dec. 31.
  • Head coach Sherrone Moore said running back Jordan Marshall "will be ready" for the bowl after a shoulder issue limited him against Ohio State.
  • Marshall has 932 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns this season, positioning him as a key backfield option if he plays.
  • Running back Justice Haynes is progressing after early-November foot surgery following the Oct. 11 USC game, with his availability to be evaluated during the week.
  • Linebacker Ernest Hausmann is dealing with personal matters and a thumb injury from the Northwestern game, leaving his status unclear as players weigh potential opt-outs with most expected to play.
