Michigan QB Robinson did not play against Minnesota, elbow injury MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Injured Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson was a late scratch for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The team announced Robinson, who injured a nerve in his right elbow last weekend against Nebraska, would be replaced by Devin Gardner. The Wolverines (5-3, 3-1 Big Ten) did not miss a beat with Gardner at the helm. They scored 21 unanswered points and led Minnesota (5-3, 1-3) 21-7 in the third quarter. The Detroit Free Press said Robinson took part in pregame warm-ups at TCF Bank Stadium but threw only a few short passes and wore a heavy pad on his ailing elbow. Gardner, a converted wide receiver, took most of the snaps with the first team prior to the game, the newspaper said.
