Overview

• Michigan dominated 616-139 in total yards, scored on nine of its first 11 drives, and moved to 2-1 with the 63-3 win.
• True freshman Bryce Underwood threw for 235 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran for 114 yards and two scores on nine carries after coaches expanded his designed runs.
• Pro Football Focus graded the performance at 92.9 overall with a 91.1 defensive mark, higher than any single game from the 2023 title season.
• A deep freshman cohort saw the field as 10 true freshmen debuted; defensive back Elijah Dotson snagged his first interception and earned the team’s top defensive grade.
• With Moore serving a two-game suspension, Poggi called the rout a “love letter” to his head coach and said Nebraska prep follows Moore’s plan, as sportsbooks opened Michigan a slight road favorite (about -1.5 to -2.5).
