Early last week Jim Harbaugh said facing BYU would be a great gauge for the Michigan football team.
Based on Saturday’s result, it was full.
The Wolverines dominated No. 22 Brigham Young from the second possession of the game, opening a 31-0 halftime lead and maintaining that to the conclusion in the blowout at Michigan Stadium.
It was Michigan’s first win over a ranked team since knocking off Notre Dame on Sept. 7, 2013 and a statement that the Wolverines continue to improve each week.
As the first half wound down, U-M radio analyst Dan Dierdorf summed it up the best he could.
