ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Wolverines got off to a very sluggish start on Saturday, coming off their bye week. Michigan saw itself in a tight battle with Wisconsin entering the third quarter, but the Wolverines came to life in the final 1.5 quarters of play to take down Wisconsin, 24-10.

Offensively, Justice Haynes continued his awesome 2025 season, rushing for over 100 yards for the fifth game in a row. Bryce Underwood found two reliable targets in Donaven McCulley and Andrew Marsh, while throwing for 270 yards and a score.

The Michigan defense shut down Wisconsin, save for the opening drive. The Badgers had little answers to the Wolverines' run defense and veteran Rod Moore returned to the Big House to come up with his first INT since 2023.
