Jim Harbaugh can check the "first win" box off his list of goals for his debut campaign with Michigan as the Wolverines dispatched Oregon State 35-7 on Saturday.
Michigan's offense didn't put up gaudy numbers, but it certainly found its rhythm as the game progressed. The Wolverines slowly and methodically broke down the Beavers, running for 225 yards and four touchdowns. De'Veon Smith led the charge with 126 yards and three scores on 23 attempts (5.5 yards per carry).
Smith was the unquestioned workhorse for Michigan in its home opener, and his patience encapsulated the Wolverines' effort, per Geno Green of College Sports Overload.
