Oklahoma vs. Michigan 2026 Football Player Stats and Box Score

Michigan defeated Oklahoma 17–10 on September 12, 2026, at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. For readers searching the Michigan Wolverines football vs. Oklahoma Sooners football match player stats, the most important figures are Bryce Underwood's 111 passing yards and 87 rushing yards for Michigan, and John Mateer's 189 passing yards and 45 rushing yards for Oklahoma. These numbers come from the official team box score; this page focuses on player production and team totals, while the separate game recap explains the scoring sequence.

Final score and statistical snapshot

Michigan generated fewer total yards, but it had the stronger rushing output and committed no lost turnovers. Oklahoma gained 189 yards through the air, yet its 29 rushing attempts produced 100 net yards. These contrasts are more useful than ranking players by total yards alone.

Michigan passing and rushing leaders

Underwood's dual-threat contribution was central to Michigan's offensive production. His passing total was not large, but he finished as Michigan's rushing leader and scored on a 38-yard run. Marshall added the other Michigan rushing touchdown. For the receivers, Buchanan produced the most yards, while Hiter led Michigan in catches alongside Marsh.

Oklahoma passing, rushing and receiving leaders

Mateer accounted for Oklahoma's passing touchdown, a 22-yard completion to Mackenzie Alleyne in the third quarter. Rocky Beers led all receivers in the game with 94 yards on six catches, nearly half of Oklahoma's team passing total. That production shows the Sooners could generate meaningful downfield gains even though they did not finish with the win.

What the turnover numbers actually say

The official box score records one intercepted Oklahoma pass and one lost Oklahoma fumble; Michigan had no lost fumbles and no interceptions thrown. This is not a claim that turnovers alone explain every point scored, but they help explain how a team with fewer yards could still win. Michigan also went 2-for-2 on red-zone scoring chances, while Oklahoma finished 1-for-1. Small-sample red-zone percentages should not be presented as season-long strengths.

Rushing efficiency versus passing volume

Michigan's 41 rushing attempts resulted in 152 net yards, compared with Oklahoma's 29 attempts and 100 net yards. The Wolverines' two touchdowns were rushing scores, whereas Oklahoma scored its lone touchdown through the air. Raw passing totals therefore tell only part of the story: Oklahoma won that column 189–111, but Michigan held the advantage in the categories that produced its touchdowns.

How to read these stats correctly

College box-score rushing totals include losses charged against individual rushers, often including quarterback sacks. A player's longest run and net rushing total describe different things; the net figure is what matters when comparing official team totals. Passing completions also should not be confused with total offensive plays. These tables reflect this game on September 12, 2026, not per-game averages or updated 2026 season totals.
