Michigan's offensive line went through trials and tribulations last fall while trying to adjust to changes at quarterbacks and injuries up and down the front five. The latter meant more opportunities for younger players, such as true freshman Zak Zinter, who earned snaps in all six games. But when right tackle Jalen Mayfield went down due to injury, forcing the Wolverines to move veteran Andrew Stueber over to his natural position, Zinter was plugged in to start at guard. "Huge," Zinter said Thursday to describe the opportunity. "That experience is something you can't really create, other than playing in a game itself. The experience was incredible. I think I've come a very long way from a year ago when I stepped on campus as an early enrollee." | | |
