It moved the ball. It controlled possession. Its defense repeatedly shut down the Hawkeyes. Bryce Underwood found Andrew Marsh and JJ Buchanan against Iowa’s secondary, while the Wolverines eventually started creating room on the ground.
Michigan spent most of the offseason discussing its new wide receiver room, and who could break out behind its top two stars.

Michigan fell to Indiana 13-6 in overtime Saturday, failing to score a touchdown despite holding the Hoosiers to 187 yards and six points through regulation.
