In what was their third Game of the Week this season, the #4 Michigan Wolverines faced off against the #8 Washington Huskies in a thrilling and intense battle. Revenge was on the Huskies' minds after their National Championship loss to Michigan in January, and they managed to claw back a hard-fought victory. Here's a detailed recap of the game.
First Half: The Early Struggles
- Michigan started strong, with Dominic Zvada kicking a field goal to give the Wolverines an early 3-0 lead on their opening possession.
- Washington responded immediately. Senior QB Will Rogers from Brandon, MS, demonstrated his prowess by going 4-for-4 on the drive, culminating in a 21-yard touchdown pass to Rashid Williams, putting the Huskies up 7-3.
- Michigan’s offense sputtered on their next possession, going three-and-out, while Rogers led the Huskies downfield again, finding big tight end Quentin Moore for another touchdown.
- Donovan Edwards provided Michigan’s response with a touchdown run, tightening the score.
- However, Washington's offense continued to be too much for Michigan’s defense to handle, scoring again before halftime and securing a 21-10 lead going into the break.
Second Half: Momentary Dominance and a Spirited Comeback
- Washington started the second half just as hot, with Will Rogers marching the team downfield for yet another touchdown, extending the lead to 28-10.
- Michigan’s offense stalled in the red zone, settling for another Zvada field goal.
- Will Rogers responded with a long 32-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Hunter, increasing Washington's lead to 35-13. Rogers taunted the Michigan defense, referencing their National Championship loss.
- Rallying Call: Rogers' taunt seemed to awaken the Wolverines, who then rattled off 26 unanswered points all in the fourth quarter.
- Kalel Mullings capped off a TD drive with a 2-yard run.
- Following a Jaden McBurrows interception that gave Michigan prime field position, the Wolverines capitalized with a Semaj Morgan 3-yard TD catch on 4th down.
- The Huskies’ next possession resulted in a three-and-out, and Michigan's Colston Loveland took an Alex Orji pass 56 yards for a touchdown. The failed 2-point conversion left Michigan within 2 points.
- A crucial fumble by Quentin Moore was scooped and scored by Rod Moore, giving Michigan their first lead since early in the first quarter.
Climactic Conclusion
- Will Rogers stopped Michigan’s momentum with a crucial drive, leading the Huskies downfield for a touchdown to regain a three-point lead with 1:19 left.
- In a dramatic finish, Orji found tight end Colston Loveland for a 19-yard pass, then took off for a 16-yard run. However, a critical drop by Tyler Morris on what could have been a first down inside the 10-yard line sealed the defeat for the Wolverines.
Final Score: Washington 42, Michigan 39
#4 Michigan 3 | 7 | 3 | 26 - 39
#8 Washington 0 | 21 | 14 | 7 - 42
Key Performances:
- Will Rogers (Washington):
- Dominated through the air, leading multiple touchdown drives and providing crucial plays in key moments.
- Donovan Edwards (Michigan):
- Continued his Heisman-worthy season with a critical touchdown run, although grounded by Washington's defense for most of the game.
- Alex Orji (Michigan):
- Passed for two key touchdowns and converted crucial plays in Michigan's attempted comeback.
- Colston Loveland (Michigan):
- Showed his dynamic playmaking ability with a long touchdown reception and critical plays down the stretch.
- Jaden McBurrows and Rod Moore (Michigan):
- Both defensive standouts, with McBurrows' interception sparking Michigan's comeback and Moore's fumble recovery touchdown giving Michigan a temporary lead.
The Wolverines fought valiantly but fell short in a game defined by dramatic swings in momentum. With the defeat to Washington, Michigan falls to 4-2 on the season, facing the need to regroup quickly for their next challenge.
This loss adds fuel to the rivalry and underscores the intensity of college football, where one play can make the difference between victory and defeat. Michigan will need to address their defensive lapses and focus on capitalizing on scoring opportunities as they prepare for the next game.
