ANN ARBOR -- Michigan has shaken up its offensive line once again.

And this time, it's more than one body on the move.

Michigan coach Brady Hoke announced Friday in an interview with MGoBlue.com that junior walk-on Joey Burzynski (6-foot-1, 293) and redshirt freshman Erik Magnuson (6-foot-6, 285) will be the team's starting guards Saturday against Indiana (3:30 p.m., BTN).

Meaning redshirt freshman Kyle Kalis and Chris Bryant will head to the bench.

"Joey's going to step up, he did a nice job last week," Hoke said. "And so is Erik Magnuson.

"They'll be the guards."

Kalis, a former five-star recruit, has started all six games this season at right guard for the Wolverines. Bryant, a sophomore, earned starts against Minnesota and at Penn State.

The addition of Burzynski and Magnuson -- a tackle by trade -- to the starting lineup brings Michigan's number of starting offensive linemen to eight so far this season. Jack Miller started the first four games at center before being benched prior to the Minnesota game.

Burzynski replaced Bryant in the second half against Penn State last week, while Magnuson entered the game at right tackle to make up for the absence of injured left tackle Taylor Lewan.

Lewan, Hoke said, is healthy and ready to play Saturday.

The Wolverines are desperate to get their ground game going after a 30-carry, 28-yard showing by the team's running backs a week ago.

Starting tailback Fitz Toussaint gained just 27 yards on 27 carries in a 43-40 loss at Penn State.
