Michigan Wolverines CFB Week 6 Betting Lines
Head coach Sherrone Moore is learning the difference between being a substitute and a permanent head coach. Moore was the hero of the 2023 season when he filled in for Jim Harbaugh during his suspensions and won every game. Michigan has had to juggle its quarterbacks this year and is surrendering its passing game to focus primarily on the running game instead. This week, Michigan will travel to face the Washington Huskies. Washington, like Michigan, lost its head coach and best players from its 2023 College Football Playoff squad. The Huskies are coming off a tough loss at Rutgers.

Kalel Mullings rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns in his first start at running back as No. 12 Michigan held on to the Little Brown Jug with a 27-24 win in the rain against Minnesota on Saturday.
Michigan led 24-3 going into the fourth quarter, but Minnesota scored three touchdowns to pull within 27-24 with 1:37 left.
The Gophers recovered the onside kick but were flagged for offsides. Mullings grabbed the second kick, allowing the Wolverines to run out the clock.
The Wolverines extended their school-record conference winning streak to 27 games. They haven't lost a Big Ten game since Michigan State beat them in 2021.
Minnesota hoped to win the Little Brown Jug for the first time in a decade and only the third time in the 21st century.
Mullings made up for another weak performance from the passing game. Alex Orji completed 10 of 18 passes for 86 yards. He did throw one touchdown pass, but his interception helped Minnesota's fourth-quarter comeback.
Mullings finished Michigan's first drive with an untouched 27-yard touchdown run, but both offenses bogged down in the wet conditions.
The Wolverines' defense, though, forced a fumble early in the second quarter, giving them the ball at the Gophers 16. Mullings carried on the next three plays, bulling his way into the end zone from the 1 for a 14-0 lead.
Kechaun Bennett blocked a Minnesota punt later in the quarter. Orji hit Tyler Morris on the next play for an 11-yard touchdown to make it 21-0.

From the iconic winged helmets, the Big House, and “Hail to the Victors,” the Michigan Wolverines epitomize what college football tradition and ritual are all about. However, there are two sides to the Michigan Myth. Michigan has 11 national championships but only one (1997) since 1948.
Before the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Michigan found competing with Ohio State in the Big Ten impossible. In fact, Michigan went from 2003 through 2000 without a Big Ten championship. Despite the comparative lack of national success in the modern era, Michigan remains a marquee name and blue blood brand.
The late great Bo Schembechler took over a moribund program in 1969 and transformed it into a regular Big Ten and national championship contender. Schembechler’s program lived on after his retirement. One of Bo’s top assistants, Lloyd Carr, led the Wolverines to a national championship. But after Carr retired in 2007, Michigan lost its way. However, favorite son and alum Jim Harbaugh restored Michigan to glory with its greatest season ever in 2023.
