Leading receiver in loss Buchanan recorded six receptions (on 11 targets) for 57 yards during Saturday's 13-6 overtime defeat versus Indiana.

Impact Buchanan led the way for the Wolverines in both receptions and yards on a day in which quarterback Tommy Carr threw for just 167 yards. The 6-foot-4 sophomore got off to a hot start on the year but has cooled off since due to overall offensive struggles, though he has maintained his status as the top option within the Michigan passing attack. His next opportunity will come against Rutgers on Saturday.

Limited by passing struggles Buchanan caught 3 of 5 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 21-18 victory over Penn State.

Impact On a day in which Michigan quarterbacks combined for just 90 passing yards, Buchanan didn't have much opportunity to demonstrate his ability through the air. On the plus side, he did still lead the way for the Wolverines despite logging a season-low 36 receiving yards while tying for the team lead with three receptions against the Nittany Lions, indicating that his role as the top receiving option within the Michigan offense remains unchanged. He will hope for better days moving forward, though a matchup against the defending national champions may not be the best bounce back opportunity.

Leading receiver in loss Buchanan posted four receptions (on nine targets) for 50 yards during Saturday's 20-14 loss to Minnesota.

Impact On a day in which quarteback Bryce Underwood threw for just 101 yards, Buchanan managed to account for 50 of them. The 6-foot-4 receiver continued to lead the Wolverines in receiving, finishing with team-high numbers in both receptions and yards as one of just three Michigan pass-catchers on the day. Underwood's struggles may limit Buchanan's ceiling moving forward, but his control over the top spot in the passing game should at least provide him a solid floor moving forward. A home matchup against Penn State awaits on Saturday.

Big day in opener Buchanan totaled six receptions (on nine targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 13-12 victory over Western Michigan.

Impact Buchana put the exclamation point in what will certainly be one of the most talked-about college football finishes in recent memory, climbing the ladder to haul in a 47-yard Hail Mary at or after the end of regulation, depending on personal preference. Regardless of any controversy, Buchanan was one of the few bright spots on the day for the Wolverines, as the 6-foot-4 sophomore paced the team in both receptions and yards by significant margins and had put together a respectable day even before the Hail Mary toss. A tougher matchup against a talented Oklahoma squad awaits next week, but Buchanan's heavy involvement against Western Michigan bodes well for him moving forward.
