Live blog: Michigan beats Colorado, 45-28

Michigan beats Colorado, 45-28

It didn't start ideally for Michigan.

But the end result is all that matters, and Michigan rebounded for a shaky beginning to whip Colorado, 45-28.

Jabrill Peppers had a huge day, with nearly 200 all-purpose yards, including his first career punt return for a touchdown.

Wilton Speight also turned things around, finishing 16-for-30 for 229 yards and a touchdown, after he narrowly avoided several interceptions early in the game, as Colorado's defense was disrupting him. Jake Butt had 87 receiving yards, and De'Veon Smith 87 rushing yards.

Colorado led 21-7 at one point, but it was almost all Michigan from there.
