Overview
- Jordan Marshall ran for a career-high 185 yards and three touchdowns, accounting for all of Michigan’s scoring in a 253-yard rushing night.
- Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood went 13-of-22 for 145 yards with an end-zone fumble and a red-zone interception that kept Purdue in reach.
- Michigan played short-handed, with Big Ten rushing leader Justice Haynes sidelined in a right-foot cast and coach Sherrone Moore saying he will be out for a little bit.
- Derrick Moore posted two sacks and a forced fumble and Ernest Hausmann had 11 tackles as the defense delivered timely stops, including a fourth-and-2 stuff near midfield.
- Special-teams woes persisted with a blocked punt and a shank, and Moore vowed changes as Michigan, now 7-2 (5-1 Big Ten), enters a bye before facing Northwestern at Wrigley Field on Nov. 15.
