Preview: Michigan at Wisconsin

MICHIGAN RUSH OFFENSE vs. WISCONSIN RUSH DEFENSE
Michigan is #69 in rush offense (171 yards/game) and #94 in yards per carry (3.79), but it feels even worse. While all-conference left tackle Jon Runyan, Jr. should be back in action this weekend after missing the first two games, there are rumors that starting running back Zach Charbonnet will miss time after having his knee scoped. Wisconsin is #1 in rush defense (20.5 yards allowed/game) and #2 in yards allowed per carry (0.93). The Badgers have 10 tackles for loss already, led by outside linebacker Zack Baun (6’3″, 235 lbs.). Freshman nose tackle Keeanu Benton (6’4″, 315) will start, which might be a plus for Michigan when he’s matched up against junior Cesar Ruiz for much of the game.
Advantage: Wisconsin

New England Patriots outside linebacker Chase Winovich had 2 tackles and 1.5 sacks in a 43-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. And speaking of the Dolphins…they might literally end up being the worst team in NFL history, even worse than the 0-16 Lions and the 0-16 Browns.

HONORABLE MENTION

  • Tom Brady, QB (New England Patriots): Brady was 20/28 for 264 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions, along with 1 rushing touchdown.
  • Devin Bush, Jr., LB (Pittsburgh Steelers): Bush made 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 fumble recovery in a 28-26 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
  • Taco Charlton, DE (Dallas Cowboys): Charlton demanded a trade after being inactive for the first two games. Then he was waived and subsequently claimed by the Miami Dolphins.
  • Frank Clark, DE (Kansas City Chiefs): Clark made 3 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in a 28-10 win over the Oakland Raiders.
  • Brandon Graham, DE (Philadelphia Eagles): Graham made 2 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in a 24-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
  • Delano Hill, S (Seattle Seahawks): Hill made 3 tackles and intercepted a two-point conversion in a 28-26 win over the Steelers.
  • Jabrill Peppers, S (New York Giants): Peppers made 6 tackles and 2 punt returns for 7 yards in a 28-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
  • Jarrod Wilson, S (Jacksonville Jaguars): Wilson made 8 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 pass breakup in a 13-12 loss to the Houston Texans.
