1. Jordan Marshall battered the Boilermakers
The rumors of Justice Haynes in a walking boot came to fruition Saturday when he was traveling around the field on a scooter. Luckily Michigan was well-equipped to fill his role with another back who is just as destructive to opposing defenses. Marshall picked up where Haynes left off last Saturday night in East Lansing.
185 yards and three touchdowns of pure smash-mouth football. It wasn't for the faint of heart either. His offensive line has now paved the way for eight 100-yard-plus rushers this season in nine games. No one has rushed for more yards than Marshall did on Saturday in the Big House. The three redshirt freshmen on the line are playing like upperclassmen in the run game.
Bryce Underwood was making waves with his legs until he fumbled the ball away. He also gave it away on another scoring drive inside the 10-yard line. On replay, Jake Butt pointed out that he missed a wide-open Donaven McCulley in the end zone. It was one of the many passes that he struggled with in the narrow victory.
