2. Michigan tallied 500 yards of offense and nearly a 60 burger

Michigan’s offense got a jolt of electricity in the midday win at College Park. Donovan Edwards was the primary beneficiary spark that uplifted the attack. He, along with fellow freshman J.J. McCarthy, who found the endzone multiple times, broke things wide open and showed a glimpse of what the future looks like on offense.

Cade McNamara had his second-most passing yards in the victory with 259. He completed 75% of his passes which is also his second-best performance of the year.

However his biggest test to date comes in one week, so he’ll have no choice but to bring his A-game and then some if Michigan football hopes to beat Ohio State.

Hassan Haskins had another typical game from his standpoint. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the year and becomes the first to do so since Karan Higdon.

The trio of Haskins, Corum, and Edwards can definitely be one of the best trios in the country when used properly and when all are healthy enough to play.
