U-M secondary has some things to 'fix' after SMU receiver has 166-yard game

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan's defense didn't allowed an opposing receiver to reach the 60-yard mark in the first two games of the season, but it didn't have an answer for Southern Methodist University wideout James Proche on Saturday.

The junior racked up 166 receiving yards on 11 catches in the Wolverines' 45-20 win, becoming the first receiver to eclipse 150 yards against Michigan since Michael Floyd did for Notre Dame in 2011.

"He got outside of our contain a few times," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. "(Their quarterbacks) threw the ball pretty accurately from the pocket.
