ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Michigan Wolverines moved to 5-2 on the season after a dominant 24-7 win over Washington. The Wolverines weren't flawless on the offensive side of the ball, but the Michigan defense was a good as it's been all season.

After missing 14 tackles against USC, the Wolverines were much more sound this week, only missing three tackles, per Pro Football Focus. Michigan picked off Demond Williams three times -- Cole Sullivan, Jimmy Rolder, and Jacob Oden all getting in on the action. The Michigan defense held the explosive Washington rushing attack to just 40 yards.

Despite Justice Haynes not playing, RB Jordan Marshall was great in his place. Marshall had a career game, rushing for 133 yards and a score. QB Bryce Underwood was efficient, throwing for 230 yards and two scores, while completing 78% of his passes.
