Michigan Football: 3 takeaways from an offensive loss to Washington

Will Rogers attacked the Michigan football defense on the first snap for a 36-yard completion to Denzel Boston. The Huskies missed a field goal by Grady Gross and Alex Orji took over for the Wolverines. They punted and the Huskies took it 83 yards on 13 plays for the early edge on the scoreboard.

In quarter number two Washington only needed four plays to find paydirt. Former Wolverine Giles Jackson caught it in the front corner of the endzone for six as Zeke Berry was caught out of position. With nowhere else to go, Michigan football turned to Jack Tuttle to ignite the offense. 75 yards later and Michigan had a goose egg no more.

They got the pigskin back and secured another scoring drive before the break. This time Dominic Zvada put three on the board with his leg. The Huskies held it for the remainder of the half, but had a field goal blocked by Mason Graham as time expired. The Wolverines were fortunate to be only down four at halftime.

Michigan deferred to the second half and took the lead with 17 unanswered points. Tuttle scrambled out of the pocket to find an open Colston Loveland for their only points of the second half. Jedd Fisch made a quarterback change too and Demond Williams Jr. helped Washington tie it up in the final stanza.

Things were looking bright when the first turnover of the night happened. Ernest Hausmann climbed the ladder to take it away from Rogers. Unfortunately, Tuttle gave it right back as the ball was stripped from his grasp. Jonah Coleman converted it into six and Michigan football was down to its last shot. Tuttle threw an interception and the Huskies salted it away with another three from Gross.

Here's three takeaways from the unpleasant loss to Washington.
