ANN ARBOR – Michigan had not scored on five straight possessions until midway through the third quarter Saturday against Cincinnati.

On second-and-10 from the Bearcats 33, the Wolverines went to a no-huddle offense, and quarterback Wilton Speight hit junior receiver Grant Perry on a slant for a touchdown.

The score gave the Wolverines a 24-14 lead, and they went on to claim a 36-14 victory at Michigan Stadium to improve to 2-0.

Cincinnati, a 34-point underdog coming in, showed signs of making a possible comeback but faltered in the fourth quarter.
