Despite a scare, Michigan's run game powers a win. Now, the Wolverines must refine their passing and defense during a crucial bye week.

Spencer Porath, a Brownsburg native, sneaks the ball above the crossbar for a 50-yard field goal make. It came after an intentional grounding by Ryan Browne, his first mistake though not blemish, that forced a fourth-and-21 and loss of 11 yards.

Bryson Kuzdzal also chipped in as the second guy off the bench and he ran pretty well himself, carrying the ball 4 times for 23 yards. Michigan has great depth at this position overall and it’s probably Michigan’s best position group at the moment.

Senior running back Devin Mockobee did not play in Purdue's game against No. 21 Michigan due to an ankle injury. An update was provided after the contest.

3. Nobody needs the head coach to throw his team under the bus after a win, or anytime, really. But Moore’s defenses of the passing game are starting to ring hollow as the Wolverines and their five-star quarterback continue to muddle through mistakes and missed opportunities.
