Overview

• With Sherrone Moore serving a two-game, school-imposed suspension, interim coach Biff Poggi guided a 63-3 rout at Michigan Stadium and called the performance a "love letter" to the head coach.
• True freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood delivered a breakout dual-threat game with 235 passing yards and a touchdown plus 114 rushing yards and two scores on nine carries.
• Michigan’s defense held CMU to 139 total yards and just 60 passing yards, as freshman Elijah Dotson notched his first interception and the staff played 10 debuting true freshmen among 19 first-year participants.
• Pro Football Focus graded the outing at an elite 92.9 overall, with the defense at 91.1 and the offense at 82.2, reflecting across-the-board improvement after the Oklahoma loss.
• Early odds list Michigan around -1.5 with a total near 44.5 for Saturday’s game at Nebraska (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS), where Moore will miss his second game and Poggi will again run the sideline.
