Week 10 recap for Michigan

With Justice Haynes sidelined, the Wolverines relied on Jordan Marshall once again. It was a career game for the redshirt freshman. Marshall ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns. He also added 25 yards on one catch. Marshall continues to show why he's capable of being the lead back, and once Haynes comes back from injury -- this one-two punch just keeps getting better.

But there wasn't a whole lot of good outside of Marshall. Underwood completed 59% of his passes for 145 yards. He was inconsistent once again, missing guys both high and short. Both Jamar Browder and Semaj Morgan dropped a pass that would've added to Underwood's totals, but that's been a common theme for Michigan.

The Wolverines' defense did enough, but they weren't perfect, either. Michigan was down Rod Moore, Jimmy Rolder, and Cole Sullivan going into the night and then lost Jaishawn Barham on the first play of the game. The Wolverines had to play some younger guys like Chase Taylor and Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng at LB, but both of them appeared to play well enough.
