  "account": "The Michigan football team is without several key players for their Week 2 game against Oklahoma on Saturday, September 12 at Michigan Stadium. Five-star edge Carter Meadows and tight end Hogan Hansen are both sidelined for the second straight week. Meadows, a class of 2026 recruit, was part of the bridge program, causing him to miss some time in the facilities, but he was unable to play this game despite practicing earlier in the week. Hansen, a junior, had nagging injuries throughout the 2025 season and only appeared in four games, catching six passes for 74 yards. Another player, Andrew Babalola, a class of 2025 five-star offensive tackle, is expected to dress for the game but was not seen warming up with the offensive linemen prior to kickoff. He suffered a relatively minor injury earlier this camp, and while Kyle Whittingham initially believed he would not play against Western Michigan, it appears he will not participate in the upcoming matchup. Meadows, a highly-rated recruit, is described as a great kid and a freak in practice, making plays and showing promise for the future.",
