• Haskins is leading the team with three touchdowns. Dating back to last season, Haskins has six scores over the span of his last seven games.
• Quarterback Joe Milton's 51 pass attempts and 32 completions are the fifth most in a single game in Michigan history. His 63 offensive plays are third all-time behind Denard Robinson (68 at Notre Dame, 2010) and Tom Brady (65, at Ohio State, 1998).
• In adding 59 yards on the ground, Milton has reached 50 rushing yards in both games this season (52 at Minnesota). The last U-M quarterback with 50-plus yards on the ground in consecutive weeks was Devin Gardner (at Penn State, Indiana in 2013).
• The last quarterback with more than three such consecutive rushing totals was Denard Robinson, who had separate streaks of six and three straight games with 50-plus rushing yards in the 2012 season (he exceeded 90 rush yards in each of those games).
• On special teams, kicker Quinn Nordin's return to action gives him a chance to extend on his streak of 11 consecutive made field goals. Remy Hamilton made 14 in a row in 1996, the third-longest streak. Nordin's streak extends to last season, when he finished the year 10-for-10 across the final five weeks.
• Nordin's 11 consecutive makes is tied for the third-longest streak in the nation behind only Hunter Duplessis of the University of Texas at San Antonio (22 consecutive made FG) and Chris Howard of Florida (15).
• Nordin ranks fifth on Michigan's all-time field goals made list with 41. Next on the list is Brendan Gibbons (2020-13), who converted 45 field goals in his career.
• Nordin has made 111 PATs in his career, two shy of Mike Lantry (113, 1972-74) for sixth all-time and six shy of Ali Haji-Sheikh (117, 1979-82) for a top-five mark.
• In the punting game, Brad Robbins notched three of four punts inside MSU's 10-yard line last weekend, including one at the two-yard line. Robbins has now registered 23 of 72 career punts inside opponents' respective 20-yard lines (31.9 percent).
