Offense: A+

I love the approach Michigan football took in this game. You know it’s going to be a good day when Michigan is picking up third-and-fourth-and short.

Michigan picked up a couple of those before Kalel Mullings broke through for a 20-yard touchdown. Mullings has really come on and might even be putting some pressure on Donovan Edwards.

Mullings was getting carries early in the game. Edwards ran the ball well too and that’s three guys that can pound the rock. Depth is never a bad thing. You also need to reward guys when they earn their opportunity and Mullings has done that.

He’s not the same player we saw last November and the move to running back full-time was a wise one by the coaching staff. The offensive line was great but so was McCarthy. He put on a clinic and his QBR was 99.2.

You can’t really find much bad to say. It was a flawless performance from the offense.
