ANN ARBOR --- Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez is "hopeful" that defensive standouts Mike Martin (ankle) and Jonas Mouton (chest) will be available to play Saturday when the Wolverines host one-loss Wisconsin.

Neither Martin nor Mouton played in last Saturday's win at Purdue.

UM running back Mike Shaw (possible concussion) will undergo evaluations this week.

Wisconsin, ranked No. 5 in the latest Associated Press poll, crushed Indiana 83-20 on Saturday.
