Following Maryland's opening touchdown, it was complete domination by the Michigan Wolverines. The Maize and Blue would move to 9-2 following a 45-20 win over the Terrapins in College Park.

Michigan was missing a few players in the game, while captain Max Bredeson went down, but it was next man up for the Wolverines and Michigan wasn't caught looking ahead to Ohio State. Former walk-on Bryson Kuzdzal stole the show and ran for 100 yards and three scores in the game.

Even the defense did a good job pressuring freshman Malik Washington. One of the least sacked QBs in college football, Washington went down three times on Satuday.

Following Michigan's win, Pro Football Focus released the grades of all the Wolverines who played and their total snaps.
