Blackshirts Dominate as They Outscore Purdue By Themselves
Michigan dominated a bad Purdue team as expected today. Michigan's defense outscored Purdue 14-13 (only 6 of Purdue's points came against the 1st team defense) as Michigan cruised to a 59-13 victory. Michigan's defense forced 4 turnovers which allowed Michigan's offense to play in Purdue territory all day long which caused them to only put up 367 yards, but they were still unstoppable. Michigan's attack came from the ground as usual as they rushed for 235 yards and 5 TDs (from 4 different players) on 45 carries. The ground attack was spread out once again as Michigan had 6 different players rush for at least 20 yards.
Next up for the maize and blue is a big user game against rival Michigan State. If Michigan still wants to get a trip to the Rose Bowl, this is a must win for the Wolverines.
