Game notes, things you didn't know following Michigan football's win vs. Washington

ANN Arbor, Mich. -- Michigan got the job done on Saturday, and it was an old-fashioned Michigan win. The Wolverines were dominant against the Washington Huskies and the final score didn't show the full story. Michigan won the game 24-7, but the Wolverines left plenty of points on the board.

The Wolverines turned the ball over twice on downs, Dominic Zvada missed a FG, and a few drops led to no points on potential scoring drives. While the Michigan offense hurt itself a few times, the Wolverines' defense carried the load.

Playing without starters Rod Moore and Brandyn Hillman, Michigan's defense matched everything Washington tried to do. The Huskies' electric offense mustered just 40 yards on the ground, and Michigan picked off Demond Williams three times.

Here are some interesting stats and notes following the Wolverines' win over Washington.
