ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – No. 4 Michigan is averaging nearly a point per minute through two games, spreading the ball around to an array of options through the air and on the ground.
Fielding H. Yost would be proud. The former Wolverines coach had four high-powered offenses score more than 100 points in their first two games, and Michigan won 56 straight from 1901-05 with what were known as his “Point-a-Minute” teams.
Michigan (2-0) has a long way to be that dominant under second-year coach Jim Harbaugh and perhaps that’s why he pumped the brakes a bit Monday, only terming the season as “So far, so good.”
The Wolverines’ 114 points through the first two games are the fourth-highest total in school history and its most since 1914 under Yost.
Michigan could face a stiffer challenge Saturday when it hosts Colorado. The Buffaloes are coming off wins over Colorado State and Idaho State by a combined score of 100-14.
