Justice Haynes rushed for 117 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns as Michigan downed Wisconsin 24-10 in Ann Arbor on Saturday afternoon.

The Alabama transfer has reached 100 yards in each of the first five games for the No. 20 Wolverines (4-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten). Bryce Underwood completed 19 of 28 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown, while Donaven McCulley made six receptions for 112 yards and a score.

Dilin Jones rushed for 63 yards and the Badgers’ lone touchdown. Hunter Simmons completed 18 of 29 passes for 177 yards, with Vinny Anthony II making nine receptions for 97 yards.

The Wolverines emerged with a 10-7 halftime advantage.

Wisconsin (2-3, 0-2) drove 75 yards after the opening kickoff to take the lead. Jones finished it off with a 5-yard run.

Michigan only needed six plays to tie the score. Haynes burst through the middle for a 43-yard gain to eventually set up his 1-yard touchdown.

The defenses then clamped down as both punters got plenty of action the remainder of the half. The Wolverines took a 10-7 lead with 5:43 left in the second quarter on Dominic Zvada’s 32-yard field goal.

Michigan controlled the ball for nearly six minutes after the second-half kickoff but came up empty as Zvada missed a 27-yard attempt.

The Wolverines extended their lead to 17-7 with 4:11 remaining in the third. Underwood hooked up with McCulley on a 33-yard pass, and two plays later, the duo connected for 29 yards and a touchdown.

Rod Moore intercepted a Simmons pass deep in Michigan territory later in the quarter. The Wolverines drove as far as the Badgers’ 28 but wound up turning the ball over on downs.

A 61-yard drive, which ended with 9:24 remaining on a Haynes 1-yard touchdown run, gave Michigan a 24-7 lead. A 25-yard pass from Underwood to McCulley was the big play on that drive.

The Badgers drove all the way to Michigan’s 5-yard line during their ensuing possession. Derrick Moore’s sack of Simmons forced them to settle for Nathanial Vakos’ 39-yard field goal.
