Hart Is A Go

AP:

Mike Hart's teammates fully expect him to play this week.

Michigan defensive end Tim Jamison guaranteed that Hart, who appeared to hurt his right ankle in the first half Saturday against Purdue, would be on the field for the 24th-ranked Wolverines when they play Saturday night at Illinois.

Offensive tackle Jake Long agreed.

"There's no doubt in my mind he'll play," Long said Monday.

Carr, ever circumspect, declined to confirm that. Given statements from Jamison, Long, Warren, and Adams, plus the unconcerned visage above after the Purdue game, I think we are in the relative clear as long as he doesn't tweak it. Knock on wood.
