Michigan switching to Alex Orji at QB helped Wolverines recapture identity in comeback win over USC
The Wolverines rushed for 220 yards in the first half, including touchdown runs of 53 and 41 yards by Kalel Mullings and Donovan Warren, respectively. They averaged 7.4 yards per carry. It was clear that by adding Orji to the equation and forcing defenses to play 11-on-11 in the run game, it made life easier for Michigan's running backs.
