The Wolverines returned to form on defense against a weak offensive line and stifled freshman phenom running back Saquon Barkley for the most part. Outside of his big 56-yard run of the first drive of the game, Barkley was held to 14 yards on the ground.
Jake Rudock once again looked good once again, and the running game was just good enough to provide some protection against a scary Penn State pass rush. I was also very impressed with the special teams this week, especially on Jourdan Lewis returns.
Now we all should be rooting for Ohio State right now, as unpalatable as that may be, but if the Buckeyes can take down Sparty, The Game will decide the winner of the Big Ten East.
