Read More: sox-win-game-1-should-sweep.html The No. 19 Michigan Wolverines (3-1, 1-0) started their Big Ten schedule with a bang, beating the Nebraska Cornhuskers (0-3, 0-1) 56-10 in Ann Arbor on Saturday afternoon.
Shea Patterson completed 15 of his 22 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. Karan Higdon led all rushers with 12 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown after missing last week's game with an injury. Ben Mason had six carries for 18 yards and a team best three touchdowns. Zach Gentry had three catches for 32 yards and a touchdown while Ronnie Bell had a reception for a team best 56 yards and a touchdown. The win was Michigan's most dominant in some time. The maize and blue haven't won by that large a margin since beating Rutgers 78-0 in 2016, a year that saw them go 10-3 and almost making the Big Ten title game. The Wolverines led 20-0 after the first quarter thanks to two rushing touchdowns; one by Karan Higdon and two by Ben Mason. They'd go on to add, a field goal, two touchdowns and a safety to make it 39-0 going into halftime. Nebraska would finally break the shutout with a field goal in the third quarter, but not before Donovan Peoples-Jones ran a punt back 60 yards for a touchdown. From there, Michigan was able to rest its starters and secure the win. The Cornhuskers had just 132 total yards to Michigan's 491 including just 39 rushing yards on 30 carries as a team. Nebraska has yet to secure a win in Scott Frost's first season as head coach. The Wolverines hit the road next weekend to take on the Northwestern Wildcats. The No. 19 Michigan Wolverines (1-1) showed lots of improvement in a 49-3 blowout of Western Michigan on Saturday. The team looked a lot better offensively, especially Shea Patterson, who threw for three touchdowns and 121 yards. They'll conclude their non-conference slate with a home game against the SMU Mustangs.
Opponent Overview The Mustangs are still looking fir that elusive first win of the season after losing their first two games against North Texas and No. 16 TCU. Junior Ben Hicks leads the SMU offense. The third-year starter has completed 48.4 percent of his passes for 363 yards, two touchdowns and an interception to start his season. The running game is led by Braden West. The senior has carried the ball 19 times for 104 yard and two touchdowns. He also has five receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown, second best on the team. Xavier Jones and Ke'Mon Freeman have also taken some snaps and will probably continue to do so. They each had over 125 carries in 2017. Freeman led the team with 11 touchdowns while Jones led the team with 1,075 yards. James Proche leads SMU receivers with eight receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. Reggie Roberson Jr. and Myron Gailliard will also be involved throughout the contest. Players to Watch Josh Metellus-After being kicked out of the season opener against Notre Dame, Metellus led all Wolverines defensemen with seven total tackles to go along with four solo tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. It's a good sign for a guy who always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time last season. His progress against SMU will be worth keeping an eye on. Donovan Peoples-Jones-The sophomore wide receiver posted one of the better stat lines of his Michigan career against Western Michigan catching four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown. Peoples-Jones currently leads receivers with 10 receptions and his 69 receiving yards are second best on the team behind Nico Collins' 100 yards. Hopefully this is a sign that he's finally reaching his potential. Chris Evans-The junior out of Indianapolis had just two carries for a yard against Notre Dame. However, he took a huge step forward against Western Michigan, taking 10 carries 86 yards for two touchdowns. The more productive he is, both as a running back and a pass catcher, will be huge for an offense still in need of playmakers. The maize and blue take on the Mustangs this Saturday, Sep. 15 at 3:30 eastern on the Big Ten Network. Jesse A. Cook writes:
