The Michigan offense was challenged by the Washington defense to not run the ball. We can only assume that they felt like they were going to beat up on our "poor little" Running Backs. Or, maybe its because they knew they wouldn't be able to hold up against the power and speed of our Running Backs and were basically pleading for mercy because they knew they couldn't handle it. Whatever the reason was, Michigan ran a muck against Washington putting up almost 350 rushing yards!
