ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh likes a lot about his team and yet he also sees room for improvement, heading into the Big Ten season.
Shea Patterson threw three touchdown passes to Donovan Peoples-Jones to help No. 19 Michigan pull away and beat SMU 45-20 on Saturday.
"We're getting closer to being good -- really good," Harbaugh said. "We're still not quite there yet."
The Wolverines (2-1) open the conference season at home next week against Nebraska (0-2) hoping to take a step toward winning their first Big Ten title since 2004.
