Michael Buchanan's good to go

"I feel great," Buchanan said. "I'm back to 100 percent. Everything's right back to normal."

Buchanan's appearance at the Big Ten Football Kickoff was his first media availability since suffering the injury, which required his jaw to be wired shut for a week.

Despite the temporary blendered diet, Buchanan hasn't lost any weight. He wanted to add 10 pounds to his 2011 playing weight and is ahead of schedule.
