[Applause] welcome to Big 10 Saturday night presented by discover here at the big house in an arbor a beautiful night for some football and the defending national champions begin that title defense here at home in front of a soldout crowd taking on one of the tougher group of five schools in the country Fresno State and here come the defending Champion Wolverines [Applause] [Music] away [Applause] Michigan won the toss they elected to defer they'll take it in the second half Doan is going to send it away and we are underway the defending Champions looking to repeat and start that title defense here number nine in the country on the defensive end and a look at the starting line time in college football Keen has it on third down over the middle it's kep and intercepted taken away by Zeke Barry Michigan did this better than anybody in the country last year and on the third play of the season the throw here's Kenneth Grant 78 watch him get a hand up the ball sails a little bit off the hands of his receiver and Zeke Barry comes down with it the route was open the throw was high and the tip resulted in an interception and Todd we have heard nothing but outstand offensively we'll see how Warren does his first throw of the Season slings it caught who else loveling a cheat code for a first down in the red zone well he was 0 for five throwing it all right we'll get the explanation from Terry momentarily but Michigan's looking to go quick here handoff Edwards up the gut and he's wrapped up right at the line of scrimmage all right let's go back to Terry all right finish her thought a little chaotic and this is where he thrives running the football on second and goal BR is in the motion man or's going to look to throw instead dump it down Edwards wide open TouchDown Michigan everybody in the stadium and everybody on the Fresno State sideline is thinking of course this is going to be a run to the outside bres in motion and this is pass all the way and a nice easy throw to Donovan Edwards who is an excellent receiver out of the back field domic zavada the transfer from Arkansas State adds the extra point first for Fresno State Rush coming for Michigan Keane gets rid of it Oh What A Catch Moss up the field slips through to Midfield big time conversion of 19 yards now when I said that Mikey ke got and this is where 55 and 78 in the middle up front are so dangerous Keane looking to throw feeling the pressure steps up now he goes down Josiah St coming from the edge and dumping the QB well it's both Edge rushers we talk about the T Edwards who can break it any time and Ming has talked about that the difference in style between the two and how that keeps defenses on their heels a little bit right back to him Mings is going to get that first down charge forward to the 40 the identity of this Michigan just worn a third down and 10 play clock dwindling down Loveland is in the slot at the top of the screen instead screen pass and not a whole lot for Tyler Morris as he's surrounded quickly gains three but sets up fourth down and a likely punt for third and three Keen gilam knocked backward immediate hit by jier Hill and Mission gets the three and out so the second punt of the day for Klay Lawrence from the Perth area of Australia that Pro kick Australia it's going to be Tyler Morris looking to return it finding a seam Morris across Midfield bounces off of one and a second Morris trying to set up his blocking and then Usher it out of bounds shy of the 40 nice return by Morris after a decent enough punt there from Lawrence 50 they won a national championship together there in the early 2000s Warren airing it out on first down it's intercepted taken away by cam Lockridge Lockridge good blocking Edwards couldn't get to him and finally he is dumped Josh PR 35y return and the first mistake in the first start for Warren well the mistake was the ball's under throw I mean his receiver has separation Frederick Moore is open right now he's open if the ball is thrown deep enough he can run under it but it's underthrown and lockage is able to close the gap and Come Away with the pick great play on the ball by Lockridge and a h to have him back for Tim Skipper's team shod stays in there on second down and seven pitch it sherro open space sherro makes a cut and he's got a first down nice run up the [Applause] gut 39 Keane gets rid of it quickly and a little too tall for Cameron beum Mikey Kean needs to settle down a little bit his feet were a little too active on the last couple throws I know power football on Third and inches mullings the back give it to him oh he didn't get there he did not the penetration from Fresno State and it's fourth down and how impressive is to line even though it is a brand new look Todd mentioned it this is a talented group Do's going to have to send it away on fourth down fair catch called for and just made by Moss shy of the 40 good but Tim Skipper has brought his own personality which is very energetic to the head coach Keane over the middle it's Moss for the first down remember when we talked about Fresno State flipping the field they played in played at Raymond James Stadium a couple years back with UCF it's about 70,000 this is an additional 40,000 fans in here for a third down and 10 to the outside incomplete but a penalty is down be the was the third and 11 Here Comes Foreman on the outside oh instead it's the inside Warren Gets to foward and it's Christenson on the bolt and a loss of nine well farod stays in there on second and eight playaction pass go right at Pard it's a catch Jaylen Moss goes up high and vacuums it in yeah you get with air hall but he has not received any look at by the personal trainers and he's standing on the sideline with his helmet on guys very interesting this is a defense that certainly last year loved to Keane feeling the pressure lost it end zone Delena can't make the grab matched up with Johnson and he got the separation but a tough ball and it was a of muscle this off season a 41 y he's got plenty of leg special teams coordinator John bter said he's been kicking it as well as he's seen through camp and he shows it off there absolutely perfect to get points on the board for Fresno State a productive 19 yds War a pass on second down over the middle he's got a completion it's Bell makes him move he's got the first down lockage gets him down but Kendrick ready for the NFL and it didn't work out the way he envisioned but he finished strong mullings Stutter Step mullings Enough for the first down mulling try to Modern Day football but we see just the influence it brings Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman now with the Chargers hoping to do the same at the NFL level Warren slink completes lovely move the sticks once again still 0 for three even though they got a nice drive going right here bredis out wide as is Edwards on first down Warren UNCC it's lovelin again on the Run picks up 13 to the 25 Preserve of some time for their offense are the decisions for new head coach and Tim Skipper Warren Edwards sniffed out that was Julia Neil down to trying to do the quick math in my head about 28 seconds yeah I don't get that I mean you've got three timeouts in your pocket 45 yd attempt and zavada drills it so making any mistakes in these final moments of this first half a Fresno State defensive effort that has turned a lot of heads not just here tonight but certainly around the country in the Mountain West as we go to the break the number nine team of the country Mikey Keane gets hot he can't be a 50% completion guy in the second half Ming will take this from 5 yds deep finds a crease Mullins across the 25 spun down at the 27 as we go downstairs and check in with Kate see right there 0 for four Michigan on third down this one third and six for Warren Lin the go to first down and more into Fresno territory dragging Warren on courts complete over the middle sure handed catch by Tyler Mo this is a big third and 17 they converted their first two third Downs on the drive but they'll keep it conservative with mullings getting it to the a transfer from Arkansas state does it have the leg it does and then some a 53 yd bomb and Michigan goes back up 10 921 a play in the third they can't get the score on six but they do get three Zada from way downtown gets Miss so far no stoppage in play Keen he has a completion in stride Delena is going to take it for a first down out every day certainly in that room they are the leaders Kean a strike right in the pocket for Moss ke pass no safety for Michigan showing all out pressure Keen dump it sherro can he get away no he can't thrown backward by Josiah Stewart out he lets his teammates know what he's thinking he's 100% transparent and lovelin said that that's huge because he said we need to know what he's thinking and he needs to know what we are guys well he certainly certainly has tried to win the favor of the offensive lines taking them to dinners at Ruth's Chris which can't hurt orgy in the game option orgy outside showing off the speed for a first down yeah the first real bit of green grass for Alex or G second down and three from the 28 delay that nice hesitation just gave him enough space for the first down yeah just kind of waited for his guard elti number 58 drive to eventually set up the touchdown fake it org looking to set up his blockers org over the top and picks up 10 more got a nice block by Marlon Klein number [Applause] 17 one of those pieces make a play as we head down the stretch here tonight off the back foot incomplete for Morgan looking around for some kind of penalty won't get it Phoenix Jackson providing the pressure yeah Donovan Edwards was just relatively quiet throughout the night waiting for a reason to erupt Blitz comes bam in Pursuit Keane gets rid of it and was anybody there does get past the line of scrimmage was he outside of that Tackle Box second and a long two Warren quick strike outside Morris it's going to depend on the spot as to whether they move the sticks here it looks like they'll give it to him on forward progress that Michigan plays football but Loveland in the slot here on third down and six he's got a career high seven receptions do they go to him again waren over the middle no instead it's a M Morgan is where he needs to go because he's got a lot of other intangible tools third and seven and lovelin can't haul it in well we haven't seen him drop many balls this is a good throw by Davis Warren is 56 this one is 55 yds away and with a Miss would give Fresno State excellent field position do in the holder Wagner will snap it and zavada is perfect good from 45 that makes it second and 14 for Mikey Keane good time here lofs it sideline Keane in the bucket for Moss guarded by Johnson Moss takes advantage and he's hurt excellent Ken Fresno State cat in on the explosive Play Fake It Keane rolling Keane deliver caught toena nice throw rolling to his [Applause] left this team needs touchdowns and they need them quick here comes the rush baram in Pursuit keen's got to get rid of it and he does oh it's caught no they're going to roll it incomplete yeah the last play was a dis Nathan AO goes down low what an effort nice job by Mikey Keane extending the play but then both hands underneath the football the review the ruling on field has changed the wide receiver did complete the process of the catch at the 18 y line for their first conversion empty on Third and eight Keane gets rid of it it's caught it's sharp to the end zone touchdown fno state well nice job by Mikey Keane because there is an unblocked Guy this is zero coverage no safety so one-on-one right here but this guy comes free Mikey Keane knows he's got to get rid of the football and he delivers a strike while back pedaling and the receiver does the rest excellent play against full pressure and Fresno State gets their first tou down in the ball game one of the two FCS transfers gets into the end zone and the extra point from Lynch one org KES he's got a lot of space and a first down really sold to fake The Fresno's defense thought he carries 32 yards to go along with a passing touchdown for orgy Mullin Mullin mullings dragging tacklers with him big but lovelin in motion on first down mulling Cuts mull chewing up yards they cannot stop him on top of his allor receiving capabilities play action Warren over the middle it's lelin in stride lelin stays up touchdown [Applause] Michigan your go-to guy colon L Zada makes it a 13p point aged as he could possibly be without being able to play he's going to be out for a while as Keane delivers oh this one is picked off mcui Paige looking to take it the other way dump down shy of the 20 a 20 yd return and Michigan just takes it right back sideline as [Applause] well I mean that I don't know Terry that doesn't look like enough to draw a flag it's not roughing the passer wow 4 15yd penalty of SC from the previous spot includes automatic so negate two consecutive interceptions this one TJ guy I think this is a very weak call two scores here quick pass on wow that's a worst there and there it is the flag comes in there was the catch and runit face mask and behind the back I mean he could have called either one Michigan had one penalty this entire game up until this drive they now have three Mas gra a helmet opening Defense number 42 15 com results and that's the second it'll be first and goal oh picked off Johnson one of the best quarterbacks in the country seals it for Michigan pick six touchdown wolver Reigns times you know he read this right away and stepped in front of the throw and made an All-American kind of play preseason first team AP All-American preseason just how special what he is and Chiron Mo's head coach knows that by having to go up against this Michigan defense every day in practice presno say getting that taste shro on the ground picks up a yard and a half Derek Mo adds a tackle and I think if you're Michigan dur Sanders and Travis Hunter that is going to be uh exciting to watch Dylan riola The Freshman quarterback played well today see him in that big stage next week well on this big stage here tonight Davis Warren the former walk-on who has been through so much through his young life makes his first start at Michigan and it's a victory 30-1 the defending Champion start the season with a win final score mutual respect between these two head coaches Tim Skipper in his first game since taking over for Jeff Tedford coach The Bull game last year now in the interim role Chiron Moore first game as the full-time head coach and continued winning in excellence for the Wolverines tonight [Music]
