ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Quarterbacks Denard Robinson and Tate Forcier were injured in No. 21 Michigan’s 65-21 win over Bowling Green on Saturday.

Robinson twisted his left knee after a 47-yard run in the first quarter and didn’t return. Forcier left the game in the fourth quarter after also appearing to hurt his left knee.

The Wolverines have won their first four games for the second straight season. They flopped to a 5-7 finish last year.

Bowling Green (1-3) gave up the first 21 points of the game in the first quarter, then got to within a touchdown with 5:07 left in the first half.

Forcier helped the Wolverines turn the game into a rout in his season debut after starting every game last season.

Freshman quarterback Devin Gardner got extensive playing time for the first time.
