Injury again sidelines Michigan QB
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson missed his second straight game because of nerve damage in his right elbow.
Devin Gardner, making his second straight start in place of the injured Robinson, was 16 of 29 for 286 yards with two TD passes .
When Robinson is ready to play - next week at home against Iowa or in the regular season finale at Ohio State - Gardner insists that he shouldn't stay under center.
"This is Denard's team, and it's always going to be Denard's team," Gardner said. "He's done too much to change that."
