Michigan teammate defends Andrew Sprague amid rumors

ANN ARBOR – Michigan center Jake Guarnera wanted to make one thing perfectly clear and said offensive lineman Andrew Sprague has not quit on the team. Sprague, started the first two games at right tackle, but suddenly, within 24 hours of Game 3 against UTEP, was unable to play. He has not played since, and on Monday, Oct. 12, head coach Kyle Whittingham said Sprague is "way out there" in terms of returning this season. "I am perplexed, and so is he, I think," said Whittingham, who has not disclosed what has sidelined Sprague.
