It might have been a bit harsh on some of the other players, but Hoke
was playing a risky game with Robinson accounting for so much of their
offense, and last Saturday that may have cost him the game, so I see 
nothing wrong with him getting called out on that.  

Michigan was getting close to completing a good drive when Robinson went down, 
and that might have turned the game in their favor.  I don't expect them to 
Robinson against Minnesota this week, but nerve injuries often get worse each 
time they're re-injured.  

It also gives their fans some pause as to who QBs for Michigan next season.   
MSU is finding difficulties at QB now that Cousins is gone, Danny O'Brien has 
not been as successful a transfer as Russell Wilson was, and the Nebraska 
coaches need a plan for a (hopefully future season) life without TM, too.  

Maryland has now lost FOUR quarterbacks for the season, 3 of them to ACL
injuries.  #5 will be a LB, and #6, if they have to dig that deep, will 
probably be one of their RBs.

(I have this cartoon I clipped out of the Wall Street Journal years ago,
one businessman turns to another and says "Plan B?  What plan B?")
