LOS ANGELES – Michigan Wolverines running back Justice Haynes got injured in the second quarter of the USC Trojans matchup and was seen walking gingerly during the team’s opening drive of the second half.
There is no word on what the injury was that he suffered, but if he’s out for the game, Michigan will need to run back Jordan Marshall to carry the load for the remainder of the matchup.

Michigan trailed 14-7 at the half, and they’re potentially going to play the second half without their most explosive player on offense.
So far, their offense has been stagnant, to say the least. With the third quarter’s opening drive coming out of the half, going backwards and punting was not ideal.
USC took a 21-7 lead and Michigan punted again trailing by 14 as they’re not moving the ball.
Who will step up for Haynes in the second half?
