After missing the last three games of last year, due to COVID-19, the Wolverines were back in action on Saturday when they faced Western Michigan out of the Mid-American Conference – with a full crowd in the Big House.
The Wolverines have had incredible success when it comes to the Broncos, as they held a 7-0 all-time record against WMU going into the contest.
The maize and blue easily made it 8-0 all-time against Western Michigan after defeating them 47-14 on Saturday.
After a back and forth start to the game – Michigan led 10-7 in the first quarter – the Wolverines controlled the rest of the first half, as they went into the locker room up 27-7. We saw a lot from Blake Corum, Hassan Haskins, and Cade McNamara early on. The only major downside was the apparent right leg injury to Ronnie Bell who ended up getting carted into the locker room.
Things picked up right where they left off in the second half, the defense forced a punt, and A.J. Henning took a 74-yard run to the house for a score.
The Wolverines were able to unload some bench players to get some needed experience towards the end of the third quarter – and we saw freshman J.J. McCarthy and Donovan Edwards.
Here are three things we learned about Michigan after Saturday’s game.
