Michigan defense 'proud' of way it handled Air Force's triple option

ANN ARBOR - Michigan sophomore linebacker Devin Bush didn't hesitate when asked if the defense was the identity of the team through the first three games of the season.

"Yeah. That's how it should be," Bush told reporters after Saturday's 29-13 win over Air Force at Michigan Stadium.

The Falcons' triple-option posed a different look - and probably the toughest challenge - for the Wolverines' defense so far this season.

In its 62-0 win over Virginia Military Institute in Week 1, Air Force (1-1) used 16 different ball carriers and rushed for 457 yards.
