After shutting out BYU and then Maryland on Saturday, Michigan’s defense, which was No. 2 nationally only behind Boston College (should be No. 1 this week), is in some elite company.
Michigan football is the first team since 2011 to hold two major conference/independent opponents under 110 yards in a season.

Per @ESPNStatsInfo, Michigan is first team to win by at least 28 points and shut FBS opponent out in consecutive weeks since 2012 Alabama.

Over the last two weeks, Michigan's allowed 1.8 yards per play.

Another crazy stat about the last 15 quarters from the defense:
In Michigan's Last 15 Quarters:
Points – U-M: 119, Opp: 7
Yards – U-M: 1559, Opp: 447— Drew Hallett (@DrewCHallett) October 3, 2015
