ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michigan might be missing some key players at Ohio State.

Coach Rich Rodriguez said Monday he doubts quarterback Steven Threet or running back Sam McGuffie will play against the 10th-ranked Buckeyes.

Rodriguez says Threet has a shoulder injury, and McGuffie had a death in his family.

Running back Brandon Minor says he will play in Michigan’s finale after missing a game with rib and shoulder injuries.

Ohio State is a 19-point favorite, matching the largest spread in the rivalry, and is a win away from earning at least a share of a fourth consecutive Big Ten title.

Michigan has lost a school-record eight games in Rodriguez’s debut season and will not play in a bowl game for the first time since 1974.
