What a throw and catch! Jake Rudock to Jake Butt for the score. Utah 17, Michigan 10. #MICHvsUTAHhttps://t.co/b1W7jlZ6w4

While Thursday night's game against Utah didn't result in a victory for the Wolverines, one thing became obvious fairly quickly… Michigan has an outstanding go-to pass catcher in Jake Butt.
Butt hauled in a career-high eight catches for 93 yards in Michigan's 24-17 loss to Utah on Thursday night. But, it was one catch in particular that stole the show in this game.
With Michigan trailing 17-3 late in the third quarter, Jake Rudock fired a strike to Butt, who went up and made a leaping touchdown catch over two Utah defenders.

BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart had some high praise for the Wolverines' junior tight end.
How good is Jake Butt? Can't be many TEs better. An early leader for @JohnMackeyAward.
