Big first half powers Michigan past BYU

Ann Arbor – In Michigan’s final game before the Big Ten season begins, the Wolverines delivered their most complete performance, walloping ranked BYU.

The Wolverines dominated the first half, and their defense was largely impenetrable, as they defeated the Cougars, 31-0, before 108,940 on a brilliant Saturday afternoon at Michigan Stadium.

Jake Rudock, the graduate transfer from Iowa, had his best showing so far, with two rushing touchdowns and one passing, a four-yard throw to Amara Darboh. And the defense was menacing. During a stretch from the second quarter midway through the third, BYU had six three-and-outs.
