Outside of a left-handed throw, there wasn’t too much going on beyond the first down marker.

The Michigan football team will saddle back up and search for their second win of the season next Saturday when the UNLV Rebels travel to Ann Arbor. “You go to the clubs and whatever and they’re all over the place”. They have some talented people.
“The challenge for our kids is to understand that when opportunity knocks, you have to make plays”, Andersen said.
That changed when he saw a penalty he didn’t like.
It was slow and methodical – what radio announcer and former U-M All-American Dan Dierdorf called “Bo 101”, the basic brand of football he and Harbaugh once learned as players under the late Bo Schembechler.
Quarterback play is sure to be a focal point. Michigan’s defense held Oregon State scoreless after a Beavers touchdown with 13:01 to go in the first quarter. After throwing three picks against Utah, the graduate transfer from Iowa will start once again, Harbaugh confirmed. Addison in turn has 50 yards, two receptions, no touchdowns for the Ducks, news analysts note. Unfortunately for the person who has the unenviable task of replacing Marcus Mariota, few of those completions were beyond 10 yards.
“Has to have better ball security in the pocket”. He’s got to secure the ball.
Rudock had an up-and-down game.
“That’s fair, when you’re talking about playing at Michigan with a freshman quarterback”, Wilson said.
“I thought that was another key factor to our victory”. “That was good practice for us and it put us in position to have a chance to have some shot at winning the game”.
The Beavers needed seven plays and 1:59 to cover 79 yards and score on the game’s opening possession when Collins found wide receiver Hunter Jarmon in the back corner of the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown.
“Oh man, it is going to be an unbelievable feeling”, Butt said.
Smith’s third touchdown – an 8-yard run – and ensuing two-point conversion reception made it 28-7 with 14:18 remaining.
Harbaugh spoke on Rudock’s performance during his postgame press conference. He carried the football 23 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns.
The fifth-ranked Spartans host seventh-ranked Oregon tonight in one of the most anticipated nonconference games of the year.
“Maybe this doesn’t resonate”, Harbaugh said. Now it’s up to Rudock to stop making mistakes. Collins did break free for one 17-yard scamper in the first half, but he obviously did not have the same room to run that was present against Weber State. Defensively, the Oregon State Beavers allowed 120 yards in passing and 58 yards in rushing.
Michigan gave up just 129 to Utah.
“Toughness, running down your throat, the hard-nosed defense that [defensive coordinator D.J.] Durkin has instilled in us, it’s what we expected”, said senior Chris Wormley, who had three tackles for loss.

Two months in, Harbaugh and an assistant were hailed as heroes after helping victims of a vehicle crash along Interstate 94 in Ann Arbor, remaining by their sides for 30 minutes and administering “a little medical treatment”, according to a team spokesman.
