FULL BOX SCORE

The Michigan Wolverines dominated the #14 Washington Huskies 34-3 on Saturday, to improve to 6-0 on the season, and 2-0 in the Big Ten. Michigan held the Huskies to just 150 total yards, and forced two turnovers.

Once again, Donovan Edwards led the way, with 146 yards on the ground, and a pair of touchdowns, on 22 carries. Alex Orji tossed two touchdown passes, and threw for 266 yards.

On Defense, Josaiah Stewert recorded four sacks. Ernest Housmann and Jyaire Hill had interceptions.

Kicking remains a concern for the Wolverines, as Dominic Zvada missed three field goals. Zvada has converted just 7 of 12 field goal attempts this season. Head Coach Kyle Dutcher said that punter Tommy Doman, who kicked field goals in high school, will get some field goal looks in practice.

Michigan is off next week. Their next game is in Illinois, where they face the Fighting Illini (2-3). Illinois has a game next week at home against the Purdue Boilermakers.

FULL BOX SCORE

Defense was the name of the game on Saturday, mainly the Michigan defense. Michigan held the Ducks to just 69 yards on the ground, and 205 yards of offense overall, in a low scoring, but pretty dominant 24-11 win at Michigan Stadium.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, on a 4 yard TD pass from Alex Orjo to tight end Colston Loveland. Michigan went up 14-0 early in the second, on a one yard run by Kalel Mullings. The first half ended with Michigan up 14-0, and the Ducks having gained just two first downs.

Oregon was able to cut the lead to 14-11 early in the fourth quarter, on a 58 yard field goal by Atticus Sappington, and a 7 yard pass from Dillon Gabriel to Terrance Ferguson.

The Wolverines put the game away with 2:47 remaining, when Donovan Edwards scored from two yards out. A late Dominic Zvada 37 yard field goal provided the final margin of 24-11.

With the win, the Wolverines improve to 6-0 in the Big Ten, and 9-0 overall. Michigan sits alone atop the Big Ten standings, and sits in the driver's seat for one of the two spots in the Big Ten Championship game. Michigan has Indiana (5-4) and Northwestern (3-6) on the schedule, before "The Game" on November 30th, in Columbus, against The Ohio State Buckeyes (8-1).

FULL BOX SCORE

The Wolverines throttled Northwestern on Saturday, 48-14, improving to 11-0, 8-0 in the Big Ten. Donovan Edwards led the way yet again, wiht 157 yards and 2 touchdowns in 22 carries. Edwards has firmly established himself as the front runner for the Heisman Trophy. Alex Orjo added 241 yards through the air. Fredrick Moore caught three passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, the Wolverines held the Wildcats to just 209 yards of offense. Makari Paige, and Will Johnson had interceptions. Kenneth Grant had a sack.

The win sets up a huge showdown next week in Columbus, between the Wolverines, and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Buckeyes are 10-1 on the season, 7-1 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes are tied for second with Penn State, and Oregon. A Michigan win guarantees them a spot in the Big Ten Championship game. A loss by Ohio State all but eliminates them from the Big Ten Championship game. A Buckeye win could potentially create a 4 team tie atop the Conference. #7 Penn State is at home against Maryland, while #6 Oregon hosts the Washington Huskies.
