The Michigan Wolverines handled business again on Saturday, defeating the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels, 35-7. It was yet another dominant showing that allowed for some of Michigan’s playmakers that didn’t pop in Week 1 to break loose, while also allowing the team to sit most of its starters early in the fourth quarter.
Noticeable improvement was observed in several keys areas, including along both the Wolverines’ offensive and defensive lines. Contrary to the belief we might see the “Michigan Method” at work, Sherrone Moore was able to champion the same offensive line we saw in Week 1 to heightened success, while the Michigan pass rush was able to sack the quarterback a total of five times during the first half.
