In front of a packed crowd Michigan separated themselves in the second half to dispatch of a problematic Washington attack.
Without Justice Haynes and Marlin Klein in the lineup, Michigan's offense had little resistance from Washington's defense on a sunny afternoon in the Big House. Bryce Underwood created his most balanced drive of the day by zipping it out to Andrew Marsh for a 22-yard screen pass that popped the cork on the scoreboard.
Washington was able to even things up at halftime with a one-yard Jonah Coleman touchdown plunge.
