Wolverines open season with 27-10 win
Michigan's defense garnered 13 sacks and 3 turnovers, and the run game produced all three touchdowns in a 27-10 victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
After EMU tied the game at 10 in the fourth quarter, sophomore HB Michael Shaw broke off a pair of big TD runs to ice the game for the Wolverines. The runs both came on option plays, illustrating the effectiveness of newly installed starting QB James Tepper, a freshman rated as the top dual-threat QB recruit this past offseason. Tepper had an impressive debut, completing 11 of 18 passes for 175 yards with 1 interception and rushing 10 times for 15 yards, including Michigan's first TD in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, the Wolverine D kept EMU QB Andy Schmitt on the run all day. LB Obi Ezeh and DE Greg Banks led Michigan with 3 sacks apiece.
