The Michigan Wolverines clinched a 28-18 victory against Arkansas State, thanks to a dominating performance on the ground by Kalel Mullings, who ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Despite starting quarterback Davis Warren's struggles—who threw three interceptions—Michigan managed to pull ahead when Alex Orji came in as a replacement and delivered a crucial touchdown pass. The Wolverines leaned heavily on their rushing game, scoring three touchdowns on the ground and controlling the game's pace despite Arkansas State's attempts to rally in the final quarter. Coach Sherrone Moore remains uncertain about the starting quarterback for the next game, hinting at a potential shift following Warren's underwhelming showing. Meanwhile, Arkansas State missed several opportunities to narrow the gap, suffering from errant kicks and untimely turnovers. The win allowed Michigan to end their non-conference play on a positive note, although the team may face challenges in future rankings due to their inconsistent performance.
