Here’s a look at how each position group fared, with the position grades from the loss.Quarterback: B+Bryce Underwood looked comfortable commanding the offense for a third straight week, even against a strong Iowa defense. It wasn’t quite the run-centric game plan it was against Oklahoma, but Underwood found success on the ground and through the air against Iowa. He went 17-of-28 for 276 yards and two touchdowns, while also adding 36 rushing yards. He did throw an interception in the red zone in the third quarter, stalling a quality drive.This week’s performance continued Underwood’s upward trend since a disappointing start against Western Michigan, offering some hope for the offense’s potential for the rest of the season if even marginal gains continue to show themselves each week.Underwood to Buchanan for 49 YARDS 〽️@UMichFootball extends its lead over No. 17 Iowa!📺: CBS pic.twitter.com/urdYR6P364— FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) September 26, 2026Running Back: B-Getting the run game going was a focus after the running backs hadn’t been productive through the first three weeks. It was thought there could, or at least should be, more of an emphasis on running between the tackles this week, but that’s a tough ask against a Phil Parker defense.We saw Michigan continue to utilize both running backs, with Jordan Marshall and Savion Hiter going for 59 yards and 53 yards, respectively. Hiter took on a bigger workload in the second half with Marshall still being dinged up, so Saturday’s effort was a good way for the freshman to get some meaningful reps against stronger competition.Wide Receiver: A-The wide receivers did an excellent job helping Underwood get off to a nice start on Saturday. Andrew Marsh finished with seven receptions for 106 yards, while JJ Buchanan added five receptions, 132 yards and two touchdowns of his own.Once again, Michigan didn’t have a third or fourth wide receiver really emerge, but as long as Marsh and Buchanan continue dominating as they have been, we can pump the brakes on any major concerns. Both have shown some really strong chemistry with Underwood and continue to be on the rise heading into the middle of the season.Andrew Marsh making a RIDICULOUS catch. pic.twitter.com/mlfpcWpaEi— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) September 26, 2026Tight End: C-Michigan switched things up at tight end again this week, with junior Hogan Hansen getting the start and even recording a reception on the first drive of the game. Hansen finished with just two receptions for 13 yards. As a whole, the tight ends wer
