Michigan Football: 3 takeaways from the loss to Wisconsin
Brandon Peters is still an unknown
When the game started, Brandon Peters looked shaky. He missed a couple of long throws and had a bad fumble near the end zone after a horrible missed call on what should have been a touchdown pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones.
Yes, it was a tough call for the refs, but it seemed they had more than enough evidence to give Michigan football a touchdown. Judge here for yourself.
Great view of Michigan getting screwed. Should be 21-17. #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/RuvhSjqW8x

But even after that fumble, Peters didn’t fold. On his next drive, he hit Peoples-Jones for 48 yards. Michigan eventually scored a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. The drive covered 84 yards in seven plays, which was the longest scoring drive against Wisconsin all season long.
Nice catch, @dpeoplesjones!

Peters finished 9-of-18 for 157 yards before being knocked out of the game. He showed some weak points but also had some really good moments too. We were all looking forward to seeing what Peters could do in a big game. But unfortunately, since he was unable to finish, that question is still unanswered.
