Michigan controlled every aspect of the game, jumping out to an early lead and pounding the visiting Ole Miss Rebels 45-21.

Although the running games were virtually equal--Ole Miss gained 122 yards to Michigan's 100--Michigan dominated the passing game, holding Rebel QB Jevan Snead to just 10 passing yards, intercepting him twice, and sacking him 7 times. Michigan QBs, on the other hand, combined for 332 passing yards and 4 TDs. The Wolverines more than doubled Ole Miss's time of possession (18:44-9:16) and held the Rebels without a third down conversion (0-10).
