The top-ranked Oregon Ducks rolled into a packed Big House on Saturday and came away with a 38-17 victory over the Michigan Wolverines. While the Wolverines had some promising moments, their chances at an upset were undone by penalties, questionable coaching choices, and uneven quarterback play.
Drawing from this week’s Pro Football Focus (PFF) data, let’s dive into Michigan’s highest and lowest-rated players from the game, as well as a look at player snap counts.
Offensive snap counts
Evan Link – 54
Giovanni El-Hadi – 54
Greg Crippen – 54
Myles Hinton – 54
Josh Priebe – 54
Davis Warren – 45
Colston Loveland – 41
Marlin Klein – 36
Peyton O’Leary – 36
Tyler Morris – 30
Kalel Mullings – 29
Donovan Edwards – 25
Max Bredeson – 19
Kendrick Bell – 17
Semaj Morgan – 15
C.J. Charleston – 12
Alex Orji – 10
Hogan Hansen – 5
Fredrick Moore – 4
Five best grades (min. 10 snaps played)
Colston Loveland – 77.0
Donovan Edwards – 71.4
Alex Orji – 69.4
Davis Warren – 68.0
Tyler Morris – 66.8
Michigan continued its trend of leaning heavily on star tight end Colston Loveland in the passing game. He answered the call by delivering another standout performance — hauling in seven catches for 112 yards. His 89.6 passing grade topped the team by a wide margin, proving there’s almost nothing that can stop him.
Meanwhile, the two-quarterback system featuring Davis Warren and Alex Orji showed it could handle the offense efficiently once again. Warren posted a solid 69.1 passing grade, while Orji added 39 rushing yards, earning a 68.6 grade on the ground. This also marks the second consecutive week where both quarterbacks were among the top-five graded Michigan offensive players.
Five worst grades
Semaj Morgan – 50.1
Marlin Klein – 52.4
Kendrick Bell – 54.2
Giovanni El-Hadi – 55.4
C.J. Charleston – 56.0
It almost feels like PFF took one look at Semaj Morgan throwing across his body to a far-from-open Alex Orji and instantly decided he would be the offense’s lowest graded player at 50.1. Morgan had just 15 offensive snaps, and managed only a single reception for eight yards — both among his personal lows for the season.
Defensive snap counts
Zeke Berry – 69
Aamir Hall – 67
Makari Paige – 65
Wesley Walker – 65
Ernest Hausmann – 60
Kenneth Grant – 55
Mason Graham – 53
Jaishawn Barham – 53
Quinten Johnson – 53
Derrick Moore – 52
Josaiah Stewart – 49
Rayshaun Benny – 38
Mason Curtis – 29
TJ Guy – 26
Cameron Brandt – 21
Jimmy Rolder – 21
Jaydon Hood – 14
Jo’Ziah Edmond – 12
Trey Pierce – 8
Enow Etta – 4
Five Best Grades (min. 10 snaps played)
Mason Graham – 76.8
Kenneth Grant – 71.6
Jimmy Rolder – 71.1
Mason Curtis – 69.5
Jaishawn Barham – 69.5
True freshman defensive back Mason Curtis continued to impress, flashing his potential and showing consistency for a second consecutive week. He played more than 20 snaps and achieved an overall grade above 67.0 once again, showcasing his balanced play with all defensive grades staying above 64.0.
Jimmy Rolder and Jaishawn Barham also stood out, building on their strong performances from last week’s game against Michigan State. For Barham, this marked his fourth straight week earning an above-average PFF grade — a significant improvement after not reaching that in any of the first five games.
Five Worst Grades
Aamir Hall – 47.1
Derrick Moore – 52.4
Quinten Johnson – 54.7
Jaydon Hood – 55.7
TJ Guy – 58.2
When Michigan’s injury report revealed both Will Johnson and Jyaire Hill were going to be sidelined, I’m sure most of us were thinking that Aamir Hall was going to be in for some rough sledding. Although the Ducks’ potent passing offense was briefly impacted by an early injury to Tez Johnson, it didn’t stop them from going after Hall, who gave up four catches for 102 of Dillon Gabriel’s 294 passing yards.
Quinten Johnson also allowed a few plays, giving up three catches on three targets for 68 yards. He (40.7) and Hall (43.4) had the worst pass coverage grades on the defense on Saturday, and it showed as much in real time.
