In a game that was never really close, the University of Michigan Wolverines completely destroyed the Vanderbilt Commodores 42-14. "We may have won by a lot, but there were still many mistakes and many things to work on before we take on Notre Dame in week 3. Hopefully we can get all these ironed out against Central Michigan next week." The mistakes that Coach Powell was talking about was a fumble by Hart after a twenty yard run and and interception thrown by Forcier on third down and nine.

Steve Breaston was named the player of the game for the Wolverines due to his outstanding play. He caught 10 balls for 197 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Mike Hart ran 26 times for 189 yards and another pair of touchdowns. Chad Henne had a steller performance going 15 for 22 with 256 yards and 3 touchdowns. He posted a near perfect 210.9 QB rating. Things are looking up for the Wolverines on their hunt to win a national championship.
