The Michigan defense picked up right where it left off on Saturday afternoon, shutting down the UNLV offense and hold the Rebels to less than 250 yards of offense in a 28-7 win at home.
Through three games, the Wolverines have been stout on defense containing the opponents’ biggest threats, forcing turnovers and generating big stops at crucial points this season.
For coach Jim Harbaugh, he’s got to feel good about the team’s ability to limit the big plays and make Utah, Oregon State and now UNLV really earn its scoring drives.
In fact, the longest scoring play surrendered by Michigan thus far was a 21-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of last week’s game.
