Wolverines score off turnover, lead 7-0
Expect a lot of De'Veon Smith in the first half. The junior running back carried the ball four times and caught a touchdown pass out of the backfield on third down to put Michigan up 7-0 early in the first quarter.
Smith carried the ball on the first three plays, netting 12 yards and a first down at the UNLV 20. After a Jake Rudock completion to Amara Darboh set the Wolverines up inside the 10, Smith carried the ball down to the 5 before Rudock missed a wide open Jake Butt on second down.
