No. 5 Michigan (1-0) vs. Central Florida (1-0) Football: Everything You Need To Know

The second season of the Jim Harbaugh era got off to a rousing start when Michigan trounced Hawaii 63-3 on Saturday in Ann Arbor, giving the Wolverines their most lopsided victory since 1975.

Junior quarterback Wilton Speight threw three touchdowns while freshman running back Chris Evans paced the ground game with 112 yards rushing on only eight carries. The defense was equally productive as the Wolverines returned two interceptions for touchdowns while shutting out the Rainbow Warriors for three quarters. Michigan’s defense may be even stingier now that All-American cornerback Jourdan Lewis is set to return after missing Week One.

Central Florida figures to provide Michigan with a more stern test (albeit, not much) after the Golden Knights snapped a 13-game losing streak by pummeling FCS opponent South Carolina State 38-0.
