ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan welcomed the Washington Huskies into Ann Arbor on Saturday for the first time since 2002 — where the Wolverines won 31-29 on a last-second field goal by Phil Brabbs — and the maize and blue held a 7-5 all-time record going into the ballgame.
This has been a highly anticipated matchup for quite some time now — especially with last year getting canceled due to COVID-19 –, and while neither team is ranked in the AP Top 25, it was still a nationally televised game on a prime-time stage.
It got off to a defensive battle in the first half. The Wolverines led 10-0 at halftime due to their run game and a strong defensive performance — getting a ton of pressure on Dylan Morris.
Although Washington scored some points, not much changed in the second half. Michigan continued to have a run-heavy offense while playing solid defense. The defensive line held their own the entire game and continued to get pressure on Morris.
Michigan ended up defeating Washington 31-10 on Saturday.
Here are three things that we learned from the win.
