Today is “Let’s look at the positives” Tuesday.
And one of the biggest positives I can think of is that Mister Michael Floyd (MMF) will most likely be in the lineup and ready to torch the Spartans this weekend.
Yeah, I know these comments are from Sunday, but after seeing Floyd hit the track, and seeing the immediate gash and bizarrely white color to the wound, I thought it was a bone sticking out, too. And if we lost both the Michigan game and MMF, well... let’s just say I wouldn’t be happy.
Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune caught up with Floyd.
“I’m fine,” Floyd said. “Just banged my knee up a little bit. It was just a slight little cut, and I’ll be good to go next week and in practice.”
“I didn’t really want to force it too much,” Floyd said. “I think it was strictly up to me, if I wanted to come back in the game, and I just didn’t think I was ready.”
Floyd has 11 catches, 320 receiving yards, and four touchdowns through two games. And if you asked me before the season who would be the big play/deep threat between Floyd and Tate, I’d have guessed that it’d be Tate putting up the higher YPC average and Floyd getting a ton of touches.
Either way, it’s good to know that Floyd will be back in uniform for a MUST WIN game Saturday.
