Michigan and Michigan State football both enter the rivalry game Saturday night at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor in relatively good health.
Wolverines backup quarterback Cade McNamara is out for the fifth consecutive game after suffering a leg injury late in the first half of the Week 3 game vs. Connecticut. Sophomore Davis Warren took second team reps in warmups behind starter J.J. McCarthy. Alan Bowman took third team reps.
McCarthy won the starting job over McNamara in the nonconference portion of the schedule, after the Wolverines opted to start McNamara in the season opener and McCarthy in the Week 2 contest against Hawaii.
