Bryson Kuzdzal ran for 100 yards and three touchdowns to help No. 18 Michigan to a 45-20 victory over Maryland on Saturday, a week before the Wolverines host top-ranked Ohio State. Michigan (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) was without injured running backs Justice Haynes and Jordan Marshall, but the Wolverines were still superior on the ground, and Michigan finished with its highest scoring output in conference play this season.

Bryce Underwood defeated Malik Washington in a matchup of two impressive freshman quarterbacks. Maryland (4-7, 1-7) scored on the game's first drive but could not avoid a seventh straight loss. Underwood threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns for Michigan, while Washington passed for 210 yards and a touchdown with an interception. With the score tied at 7 in the first quarter, Underwood's pass probably should have been intercepted by Lavain Scruggs, but the defensive back couldn't hold onto the ball. The Wolverines eventually took the lead on a 2-yard TD run by Kuzdzal. After an interception by Michigan's Mason Curtis gave the offense a short field, Underwood's 22-yard scoring pass to Donaven McCulley made it 21-7. Kuzdzal added touchdown runs of 19 and 1 yards in the third quarter, and Jasper Parker scored on a 6-yarder in the fourth that made it 42-13. - Michigan/AP College Football

11/22/25 - John Henry Daley, rSo/2028, Michigan, 6-4, 255 (DS#2 DE) + More +

Standout Utah defensive end John Henry Daley left with a leg injury against Kansas State on Saturday after he had two sacks and 3½ tackles for loss in the first quarter. Daley grabbed toward his left leg on a noncontact play with 2:23 left in the first. He was helped to the locker room and did not return to the sideline. The sophomore transfer from BYU came into the game second in the Big 12 in sacks with 9½ and in tackles for loss with 14, trailing only David Bailey of Texas Tech. Nationally, Daley was tied for seventh in sacks and ninth in tackles for loss. Daley is a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given to college football's outstanding defensive player. The 13th-ranked Utes struggled without him, giving up 348 yards rushing to KSU in the first half, including 225 in the second quarter. Utah quarterback Devon Dampier also left the game briefly before returning. Officials called for a health check after he had a couple of plays with violent impacts to his head. - AP College Football

WEEK 10 BIG 12 DEFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: Utah,...Helping limit then-No. 17 Cincinnati to just 14 points, the Utah defensive line was key in the Utes' 45-14 win. The unit battered a number of passes and pressured the Bearcats, limiting them to just 11 completions on 33 pass attempts in addition to recovering a fumble. Utah did not allow a Cincinnati drive to reach the endzone, and its 33.3% completion rate allowed was the team's best mark in eight seasons when facing a quarterback with at least 30 pass attempts. - Big 12 Football

11/15/25 - Dominic Zvada, Sr/2026, Michigan, 6-3, 180 (DS#4 K) + More +

Dominic Zvada kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired, Jordan Marshall ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns before exiting with an injury and No. 18 Michigan stayed in the playoff chase by beating Northwestern 24-22 at Wrigley Field on Saturday. The Wolverines (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) overcame three late turnovers, including two interceptions by Bryce Underwood, and remained in the running for the College Football Playoff with their fourth straight win. Northwestern (5-5, 3-4) lost its third in a row. Zvada's boot capped a 50-yard drive and set off a celebration on the field and in the stands, where a large part of the crowd wore maize and blue. Michigan was up 21-9 when the Wildcats' Preston Stone plowed in from the 1 two minutes into the fourth quarter. Michigan then had a third down at its 26 when Braden Turner picked off a pass intended for Deakon Tonielli and returned it to the 6. Caleb Komolafe ran it in on the next play, giving Northwestern a 22-21 lead with 12:05 remaining in the game. The 2-point conversion pass failed.

Michigan then drove to the 30 before Underwood got picked off again, this time by Robert Fitzgerald at the 20. The Wolverines had another opportunity after Northwestern punted, only to give it away again after opting not to go for the field goal. They had a fourth-and-1 at the Wildcats' 24 when Bryson Kuzdzal fumbled the handoff and Northwestern recovered. Marshall had another big outing with Justice Haynes missing his second consecutive game because of a right foot injury. After setting career highs with 185 yards rushing and three touchdowns in a narrow win against Purdue two weeks ago, he scored from the 1 early in the second quarter to give Michigan a 7-0 lead. Underwood, coming off shaky performances in wins over Michigan State and Purdue, completed 21 of 32 passes for 280 yards against a defense that began the day ranked 22nd in the nation against the pass. He also ran for a touchdown. Freshman Andrew Marsh set career highs with 12 receptions for 189 yards, and the Wolverines beat Northwestern for the 14th time in the past 15 meetings. Stone was 13 of 27 for 184 yards. Hunter Welcing had 81 yards receiving, and the Wildcats dropped their 14th straight against Top 25 teams. Northwestern also fell to 0-7 all-time at Wrigley Field. Six of those losses have come since 2010, when college football returned to the famed ballpark after more than a seven-decade absence. - Michigan/AP College Football

11/01/25 - Jordan Marshall, rFr/2029, Michigan, 5-10, 216 (DS#5 RB) + More +

No. 21 Michigan is very fortunate it has a pair of standout running backs. Jordan Marshall, filling in for injured Justice Haynes, had career highs with 185 yards rushing and three touchdowns to help the Wolverines hold off Purdue for a 21-16 win Saturday night. "Sloppy win," Marshall said. "We're a way better team than that." Michigan (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) was in a closely contested game against a team without a conference win because Bryce Underwood struggled and the Boilermakers (2-7, 0-6) were able to move and possess the ball. "We're in a position to do everything we wanted to accomplish," coach Sherrone Moore said. Purdue pulled within four points early in the third quarter on Spencer Porath's career-best 50-yard field goal and cut its deficit to five points with six minutes left on Ryan Browne's 5-yard pass to Malachi Thomas.

The Wolverines sealed the win on the final drive, advancing inside the Boilermakers 10 before kneeling to run out the clock. "We knew it was going to be a battle," Marshall said. "They have nothing to lose." Underwood was 13 of 22 for 145 yards with an interception. He ran seven times for 44 yards, but fumbled from Purdue's 4 and into the end zone for a touchback in the third quarter. "We're going to do a lot of self-reflection to see what we can do better," Underwood said. Marshall's second touchdown broke a tie with 17 seconds left in the first half and his third gave Michigan a 21-10 lead early in the fourth. The Boilermakers will likely lament missed opportunities. They advanced to the Michigan 33 and 22 on their first two drives, but Derrick Moore's sacks kept them scoreless. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Purdue coach Barry Odom went for it on fourth-and-2 from their 49 and quarterback Malachi Singleton was stopped short on a run. "I was here to win the game," Odom said. "I thought we needed to find a way to get points out of that possession. We didn't. We came up a couple inches short. Absolutely no regret on the play call." - AP College Football

10/19/25 - Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, rJr/2027, Michigan, 6-1, 215 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Colorado State fired football coach Jay Norvell on Sunday, a day after the Rams dropped to 2-5 with a loss to Hawaii and a season removed from a bowl game. Norvell was in his fourth season at Colorado State. He is owed a $1.5 million buyout, according to reports. He finished 18-26 with the Rams, including an appearance in the Arizona Bowl last season. The Rams appointed defensive coordinator Tyson Summers as their interim head coach as they search for a replacement. He takes over as the Rams get set to play at Wyoming next weekend in the annual Border War. "My admiration for Jay and appreciation for his integrity make this decision that much more difficult," Colorado State athletic director John Weber said in a statement. "Jay has made this program better during his tenure at CSU."

Norvell became the first Black head football coach in program history when he signed a five-year deal on Dec. 6, 2021, after making Nevada a contender in the Mountain West Conference. His teams showed improvement in each of his first three season in Fort Collins. The Rams were 3-9 in 2022, 5-7 in '23 and 8-5 last season. To try to ignite a stagnant offense, Norvell made a quarterback change late last month, benching Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and going with Jackson Brousseau. It didn't pay off immediately as the Rams lost 20-3 to Washington State. Colorado State followed that up with a loss at San Diego State before beating Fresno State at home. The final game for Norvell was a 31-19 loss to Hawaii on Saturday night. Known for his innovative offenses, the 62-year-old Norvell was brought in after going 33-26 at Nevada. Colorado State elected to make the coaching change as the program prepares to leave the Mountain West next season for the Pac-12. The Rams are set to join Utah State, San Diego State, Fresno State and Boise State in a rebuilt version of the storied conference, which already includes Oregon State and Washington State. The Pac-12 recently added Texas State in order to reach the eight-team minimum to be eligible for a bid for its conference champion in the College Football Playoff. - AP College Football

Jordan Marshall ran for a tiebreaking touchdown late in the third quarter and Bryce Underwood threw his second touchdown pass early in the fourth to help Michigan pull away and beat Washington 24-7 on Saturday. The Wolverines (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) took control by scoring touchdowns after picking off passes on consecutive possessions and kicking a field goal after the Huskies (5-2, 2-2) turned it over on downs.

Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. threw two interceptions in a pivotal stretch of four passes in the third quarter and was picked off for a third time on the first snap of the following drive. Marshall, playing in place of injured running back Justice Haynes, had a career-high 133 yards rushing on 25 carries and his 14-yard touchdown run one snap after Williams' first interception put Michigan ahead 14-7. Underwood was 21 of 27 for 230 yards and matched a season high with two touchdown passes to fellow freshman Andrew Marsh on a 22-yard throw late in the first quarter and a 10-yard toss to Zach Marshall in the fourth. - Michigan/AP College Football

09/17/25 - Giovanni El-Hadi, rSr/2026, Michigan, 6-4, 326 (DS#32 OG) + More +

Michigan will be without starting left guard Giovanni El-Hadi for several more weeks with an injury, but could see safety Rod Moore play his first game since the end of the 2023 season this coming Saturday at Nebraska. El-Hadi, a fifth-year player and second-year starter, injured his ankle in Michigan's Sept. 6 loss at Oklahoma. He sat out Saturday's win against Central Michigan and likely will miss the first few Big Ten games, acting head coach Bill Poggi said Monday. The offensive line could get a boost at Nebraska as starting right guard Brady Norton, who missed the Central Michigan game, will practice this week and could return in Lincoln.

Moore, a third-team All-Big Ten selection in 2023 who made the win-sealing interception against Ohio State, has not played since tearing his ACL and meniscus in spring practice of 2024. He had to undergo a second meniscus repair that delayed his return, but was cleared for the Central Michigan game and warmed up. Poggi said he expects Moore to play for the 21st-ranked Wolverines at Nebraska. Moore has 141 career tackles, with six interceptions and 13 passes defended. - ESPN College Football
