77.5°F
QB Demond Williams Jr. threw three interceptions in a span of five pass attempts, after having only one pick in his first 185 passes this season. This directly led to 14 Michigan points and shifted momentum decisively.
Washington's offense was held to just 40 rushing yards (including sack yardage), with leading rusher Jonah Coleman managing only 50 yards on 16 carries. The inability to establish the run made the offense one-dimensional.
The Huskies defense kept the game tied 7-7 late into the third quarter, but after the interceptions, they could not stop Michigan's ground game (Jordan Marshall 133 yards) and allowed two quick touchdowns.
Starting TE Quentin Moore was carted off the field (responsive, moved extremities, taken to hospital for precaution). His status for next week is uncertain, which could impact the passing game.
Washington hosts Illinois next Saturday. Illinois is a solid Big Ten opponent, and the Huskies will need to clean up turnovers and re-establish the run to avoid a second straight loss.
After allowing 31 points to USC, Michigan's defense forced three interceptions in a critical stretch, leading to 14 points and a 24-7 win over Washington.
Jordan Marshall rushed for a career-high 133 yards and a go-ahead touchdown, filling in for injured Justice Haynes and providing a reliable ground attack.
Bryce Underwood completed 21 of 27 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, matching his season high, with coach Moore calling it his cleanest game.
Michigan's offense has struggled to start games, a trend that could be problematic against rival Michigan State, especially with key injuries on the offensive line and at tight end.
Left tackle Evan Link was carted off with a lower-body injury, and the team was already without top tight ends Marlin Klein and Hogan Hansen, potentially impacting protection and passing game.
