Shea Patterson had his eyes gouged against Penn State and nobody seemed to care (LINK).

.@KhalekeHudson has been through a lot.

The @UMichFootball star shares a hometown with @SwinCash, and she was a prominent figure in a tough area of McKeesport, PA.

Let's see more of this guy on offense . . . Ronnie Bell. Maybe this is an emotional reaction to the backlash Bell received for dropping the potential game-tying or game-winning pass on Saturday night, but I thought the kid played very well overall. He caught 5 passes for 82 yards, he blocks, and he earns yards after the catch. He's Michigan's version of Julian Edelman. And yes, that means he's Michigan's best receiver.

Josh Ross is coming back soon from injury (LINK). That makes things awkward with Cam McGrone and Jordan Glasgow playing well.

I stand with Jim Nagy:

Scouting takeaways from @UMichFootball WR Ronnie Bell’s emotions are all positives: 1) loves football; 2) winning/losing matters to him; 3) doesn’t want to let down teammates.

If I’m an NFL scout I file last night away and use those things to fight for him in a draft room. pic.twitter.com/isNE2uGkb7

Junior safety J'Marick Woods has entered the transfer portal. He's listed at 6'3", 203 lbs. and has played in four games so far this season.

Woods signed with Michigan in the class of 2017, and I gave him a TTB Rating of 78 (LINK). He made 26 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss while playing over parts of three seasons, including one start in the Outback Bowl following the 2017 season.

This was Shea Patterson's best game. Patterson has taken a lot of criticism this season, and some people were still clamoring for backup Dylan McCaffrey - or even Joe Milton - to start. I thought this was Patterson's best game this season by far, and one of his top few performances as a Wolverine overall. His numbers weren't great (24/41 for 276 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT; 12 carries, 34 yards, 1 TD), but part of that was due to drops and general refereeing inefficiency. Donovan Peoples-Jones dropped two passes and Ronnie Bell dropped one, and there were a couple pass interference calls that should have been called against Penn State but weren't, resulting in incompletions. Patterson had one truly bad throw, and that was the interception.

RUSH OFFENSE vs. PSU RUSH DEFENSE
Michigan is #79 with 156.2 yards per game on the ground, led by Zach Charbonnet's 376 yards. Backup Hassan Haskins appears to be the hot hand right now after a 125-yard performance last week, but that was his first extended playing time. Michigan offensive guard Michael Onwenu was named to some mid-season All-American lineups, but overall, the offensive line has been a bit of a disappointment. Penn State is #3 in rush defense (53.3 yards allowed/game) and #1 in yards allowed per carry (1.59). The Nittany Lions have only allowed 1 rushing touchdown. Middle linebacker Micah Parsons (6'3", 245 lbs.) leads the team with 31 tackles and is among the team leaders with 6 tackles for loss.
Advantage: Penn State
