The Michigan Wolverines secured a 28-18 victory over Arkansas State, improving their record to 2-1. While the running game thrived with 301 yards and Kalel Mullings' career-high performance, the passing attack struggled again. Davis Warren threw three interceptions before being replaced by Alex Orji. The defense showed improvement, limiting third-down conversions and showcasing standout performances from linebacker Michael Hausmann and cornerback Mike Hall.
It was a mixed bag for the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. The maize and blue moved to 2-1 after a 28-18 win over Arkansas State and while the Michigan offense gained 301 yards on the ground against the Red Wolves, the Wolverines' passing attack wasn't very good for the third game in a row. Davis Warren was super accurate completing 11-of-14 passes, however, his three incompletions went to the other team in interception form.
Michigan pulled Warren after this third interception for Alex Orji. The dual-threat quarterback led the Wolverines down for a touchdown on his first drive and completed 2-of-4 passes in the game. He also had three carries for 27 yards, but Sherrone Moore wouldn't commit to either quarterback after the game.
On the other side of the ball, the Wolverines were better defensively than they were the first two weeks. Michigan allowed 280 yards of offense to Arkansas State, but the metric that killed Michigan -- third down conversions allowed -- the Wolverines were much better. Arkansas State converted 7-of-18 with two of those coming on the initial drive of the game.RB Kalel Mullings:
It was a career day for Mullings. The bruising back had 15 carries for 153 yards and two scores against the Red Wolves. Mullings had two rushes of 30-plus yards on the day -- including a 30-yard touchdown run. Mullings came in after Donovan Edwards had a rough go on the first drive and immediately made an impact. Mullings appears to have an even quicker burst this season through the hole which is allowing him to get explosive plays.
