Defense: A

Michigan’s defense put together a championship performance on Saturday, holding the Badgers to just 210 yards and 17 points, seven of which came in garbage time.

Michigan football dominated the line of scrimmage. Wisconsin gained just 43 yards on the ground, and the Wolverines sacked Graham Mertz and Chase Wolf a combined six times, in addition to forcing two turnovers in the fourth quarter to help ice the win.

David Ojabo is turning into a monster on the edge and had a breakout performance with 2.5 sacks, as well as a forced fumble. It was the second straight week he’s forced a turnover in the fourth.

Aidan Hutchinson and Daxton Hill played like first-round picks. It was Hill’s best game as a Wolverine without a doubt.
