RUSH OFFENSE vs. MARYLAND RUSH DEFENSE
Michigan is #17 in rushing offense (231 yards/game) and tied for #9 in yards per carry at 5.98. They have also scored 15 rushing touchdowns, which is #2 in the nation behind Minnesota. Starting running back Blake Corum leads the squad with 235 yards on 34 carries (6.9 yards/carry), and his 7 rushing touchdowns are tied for #1 in the country with Minnesota’s Mohamed Ibrahim. It’s unclear whether star sophomore Donovan Edwards (15 carries, 90 yards, 2 TD) will be back for this game, so the primary backup may be true freshman C.J. Stokes (22 carries, 114 yards, 1 TD). Maryland is #49 in rushing defense (118.3 yards allowed/game) and #44 in yards allowed per carry (3.29). They have yet to allow a team to average more than 3.6 per rush. Their leading tackler is 6’1″, 200 lb. junior safety Beau Brade with 27 stops, followed by 16 from true freshman Jaishawn Barham (6’3″, 230), who caused a stir during his recruiting cycle by silently committing to Maryland, publicly committing to South Carolina, and then signing with the Terps. Maryland is tied for #100 in tackles for loss with just 13 so far. Maryland’s two starting defensive tackles are JUCO transfers, and there are five transfer starters total; all four starting defensive lineman are seniors or fifth year guys.

Nathan Efobi – OG – Cumming (GA) South Forsyth: Efobi is a 6’3″, 282 lb. prospect with offers from Georgia, Miami, Michigan, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star and the #90 interior offensive lineman. This is an official visit, his first of the process.
Nyckoles Harbor – WR – Washington (DC) Archbishop Carroll: Harbor is a 6’5″, 225 lb. athlete who could play wide receiver, tight end, or defensive end at the next level. He appears to be Michigan’s #1 overall prospect. He’s a 5-star, the #1 athlete, and #9 overall in the class. Georgia, South Carolina, and USC also seem to be in the running, but his recruitment is very interesting because he’s also an elite level sprinter. While he looked like a defensive end early on, he’s likely not interested in putting on a ton of weight to play on the line so he can maintain his sprint training. This is an official visit.
Mikey Matthews – WR – Mission Viejo (CA) Mission Viejo: Matthews is a 5’10”, 185-pounder with offers from Boise State, Colorado, Michigan, and Utah, among others. He’s a 3-star and the #67 wide receiver in the class of 2023.

Well, that was a butt whoopin’. Everyone expected a Michigan blowout, but UConn couldn’t do anything. Other than an 18-yard scramble by quarterback Zion Turner, UConn’s longest plays were 9 yards, 8 yards, 7 yards. When’s the last time you saw a team only have one double-digit offensive play? That’s an odd thing to remember off the top of my head even if it’s happened in the last 20 or 30 years, but I don’t remember another time when that was the case. Altogether, UConn’s quarterbacks combined to go 5/20 for 24 yards. That’s 1.2 yards per attempt.
