Ann Arbor, MI (Sports Network) - Fitzgerald Toussaint carried the ball 20 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns, as the 17th-ranked Michigan Wolverines cruised past the Purdue Boilermakers, 36-14.

Denard Robinson completed 9-of-14 passes for 170 yards and an interception for the Wolverines (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten), who have won eight of their last nine games following the bye week. Robinson also carried the ball 15 times for 63 yards and a score.

Michigan opened the season with six consecutive victories, and Brady Hoke, couldn't have asked for a better beginning to his tenure as head coach. The Wolverines, though, fell to rival Michigan State by a 28-14 final on the road two weeks ago.

Caleb TerBush connected on 9-of-13 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown for the Boilermakers (4-4, 2-2), who were trying to put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season after beating Illinois last week. Robert Marve completed 8-of-14 passes for 66 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
