Rudock's Loss Would Be Punishing Blow to Michigan Offense 

Wilton Speight took over for Rudock under center after the injury. 

Rudock transferred to Michigan from Iowa and has had an up-and-down senior year under Harbaugh's tutelage. He was playing well against the Buckeyes, going 19-of-32 for 263 yards and one touchdown, before exiting.

The signal-caller had his head, neck and back examined after suffering a huge hit against Minnesota on October 31 but managed to play the next week versus Rutgers.

That was a testament to Rudock's toughness, and he is clearly the best equipped to run Michigan's offense, with two prior years of starting experience with the Hawkeyes.
