Michigan Takes Care Of Business, Disposes Of Washington

It didn't quite live up to the hype, but there was plenty for Michigan fans to be happy about following Saturday's win over Washington.

It wasn’t the high-powered offensive shoot-out that some expected, but the Michigan Wolverines easily disposed of the Washington Huskies on Saturday by a score of 31-10.

Michigan running back Blake Corum had another impressive outing, accounting for 231 all-purpose yards, 171 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. Hassan Haskins, part of Michigan’s two-headed monster at the running back position, added 155 yards on 27 carries. Combined, the Michigan rushing attack finished the evening with 345 yards and 4 touchdowns on 55 total carries.

The consistent rushing attack by the Wolverines once again prevented quarterback Cade McNamara from having to do much with his arm, finishing the evening completing 7 of 15 attempts for 44 yards.

Defensively, Michigan was led by senior linebacker Josh Ross with 11 tackles, while Aidan Hutchinson added 4 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Michigan gave up nearly 300 yards through the air, but clamped down on the Washington rushing attack - surrendering just 50 yards on the ground all evening.
