QB Joe Milton: No one outside of the program knew what to expect from Michigan's new starting quarterback, who entered Saturday's game with just 11 career pass attempts. But Milton played just fine, completing 15-of-22 passes for 225 yards and one touchdown, and could've had another if tight end Erick All held onto a wide-open pass down the seam in the second half. Milton was also an asset in the run game, with eight carries for 52 yards and one score, including a crucial 23-yard pickup on third-and-2 that led to a touchdown.
