With starting five intact, 'chemistry is coming' for Michigan's offensive line

Iowa City, Iowa — For a change, there was some continuity in Michigan’s offensive line from start to finish.

Injury issues have forced some shuffling on the line the first four games, but when the No. 4 Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat Iowa, 27-14, in their first road game of the season, the starting five was in place as it was projected to be in the first game.

This was the third time in five games the starting five — Ryan Hayes at left tackle, Trevor Keegan at left guard, Olu Oluwatimi at center, Zak Zinter at right guard and Trente Jones at right tackle — have started a game, but it’s the first time they have played without injuries taking a toll.
