Does Mario Manningham Matter?

What was just a rumor yesterday has been confirmed today. Mario Manningham had arthroscopic surgery today (to repair a knee?, but details are still sketchy) and will miss the Penn State game on Saturday. Still Lloyd Carr's excited about a mysterious something saying "He’ll miss this week but we’re very excited about the news we received."

As to what news exactly, Carr, in typical grim mouth fashion, failed to elaborate. Though MGoBlog does: he's out 2-3 weeks with miniscus damage, but back for The Game.

Larger Ramifications:

Michigan falls from -7 favorites to -6 on this news.

Is this an harbinger of doom for Michigan's so far golden season? Penn State this Saturday? How about Iowa the following weekend? In which game will the deep bomb be the missing key to success?
