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. Although the Wolverines had some promising moments, their chances for an upset were negated by penalties, questionable coaching choices and uneven quarterback play.

Based on this week’s Pro Football Focus (PFF) data, let’s take a look at Michigan’s highest and lowest rated players from the game, as well as headcount.

Offensive snap counts

Evan Link-54

Top five 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 relying heavily on star tight end Colston Loveland in the passing game. He answered the call with another standout performance, hauling in seven catches for 112 yards. His grade of 89.6 was easily the best on the team, proving that there is almost nothing that can hold him back.

Meanwhile, the two-quarterback system with Davis Warren and Alex Orji showed it could once again handle the offense efficiently. Warren posted a solid 69.1 grade, while Orji added 39 rushing yards and posted a 68.6 grade on the ground. This is also the second straight week in which both quarterbacks were among the top five offensive players in Michigan.

Five worst grades

Semaj Morgan-50.1

Marlin Klein – 52.4

Kendrick Bell-54.2

Giovanni El-Hadi – 55.4

CJ 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 immediately decided he would be the offense’s lowest-rated player at 50.1. Morgan had just 15 offensive snaps and managed just one reception for eight yards – both of which rank 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

Joshua Stewart-49

Rayshaun Benny-38

Mason Curtis-29

TJ Man – 26

Cameron Brandt-21

Jimmy Rolder-21

Jaydon Hood-14

Jo’Ziah Edmond – 12

Trey Pierce-8

Enow Etta – 4

Top five 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 the second straight week. He played more than twenty snaps and once again earned an overall grade above 67.0, showcasing his balanced play, with all defensive grades remaining 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 was the fourth straight week in which he earned an above-average PFF grade — a significant improvement after failing to achieve 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 Man – 58.2

When Michigan’s injury report indicated that both Will Johnson and Jyaire Hill would be sidelined, I’m sure most of us thought Aamir Hall was in for a rough ride. Although the Ducks’ high-powered passing attack was briefly affected 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 pair of plays, giving up three catches on three targets for 68 yards. He (40.7) and Hall (43.4) had the worst marks on defense on Saturday, and it showed in real time.
