Michigan 42, Illinois 25

Boy, Rutgers must be really bad. I mean, Rutgers is bad. We know this. And Illinois is bad, too. But there are different levels of bad. Illinois was missing its starting quarterback (Michigan transfer Brandon Peters), and backups Matt Robinson and Isaiah Williams helped the Illini score 25 points. Meanwhile, Rutgers didn’t look like a viable FBS team in a 52-0 loss to the Wolverines.

Michigan vs. Iowa Awards

Let’s see more of this guy on offense . . . Tru Wilson. Wilson had 4 carries for 28 yards in a little bit of action on Saturday. One reason he has not played much so far this year is because of a broken hand he suffered in camp. Another reason is that freshman Zach Charbonnet has shown promise, but Charbonnet has some vision issues and hasn’t developed the patience required.

Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Brandon Graham

Brandon Graham

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham had a career day on Sunday. It helped that he was facing a terrible New York Jets offense. Graham made 6 tackles, 3 sacks, and 5 total hits on the quarterback in the 31-6 victory.

Here’s some video, but keep in mind that the Tweeter (Fran Duffy, whoever that is) is inaccurate with his comments. Just enjoy the moving pictures:

HONORABLE MENTION

  • Tom Brady, QB (New England Patriots): Brady completed 28/42 passes for 348 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception in a 33-7 win over the winless Washington Redskins.
  • Devin Bush, Jr., LB (Pittsburgh Steelers): Bush made 8 tackles and his first career interception in a 26-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
  • Rashan Gary, OLB (Green Bay Packers): Gary made 3 tackles in a 34-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Ryan Glasgow, DT (Cincinnati Bengals): Glasgow made 4 tackles in a 26-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
  • Maurice Hurst, Jr., DT (Oakland Raiders): Hurst made 2 sacks in a 24-21 win over the Chicago Bears.
  • Taylor Lewan, OT (Tennessee Titans): Lewan returned from suspension but the Titans lost to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 14-7.
  • Jabrill Peppers, S (New York Giants): Peppers made 5 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 forced fumble in a 28-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
  • Jarrod Wilson, S (Jacksonville Jaguars): Wilson made 4 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in a 34-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. According to Next Gen Stats, Wilson was running 22.13 MPH chasing down Christian McCaffrey.
  • Chase Winovich, OLB (New England Patriots): Winovich made 2 tackles and 1 sack in the 33-7 win over the Redskins. He leads all rookies in sacks with 4 so far.
