Middle Tennessee State put up 21 points against No. 7 Michigan in Week One, but the Wolverines still came away with a 40-21 victory. Quarterback Asher O’Hara exposed some flaws in the Wolverines defense, passing for 217 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 32 yards and one touchdown. You can bet though that Jim Harbaugh has his team focused for Saturday’s contest against an Army team that came close to knocking off Oklahoma in a game that went into overtime early last season.
Shea Patterson proved why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten, throwing for 203 yards and three touchdowns against MTSU. Freshman Zach Charbonnet carried the ball eight times for 90 yards, while a trio of receivers Tarik Black, Nico Collins, and Sean McKeon all added touchdown receptions. Kharleke Hudson had eight tackles, while Brad Hawkins had seven tackles and Jordan Glasgow had six tackles and two sacks.
The Army Black Knights ended the 2018 season ranked in the top-20 in most major polls. They kicked off the 2019 season with a home win against Rice, 14-7, to extend their winning streak to 10 games–the second longest in the NCAA. Senior quarterback Kelvin Hopkins Jr. was just 3-for-8 passing for 53 yards and one touchdown, but also racked up 80 yards and one touchdown on the ground in the triple option. Running back Sandon McCoy added 70 yards on 20 carries. Senior linebacker Cole Christiansen led the team on defense with seven total tackles, while Cameron Jones and Arik Smith each notched six tackles. Michigan is the only ranked opponent on their schedule this year and should be a daunting task in one of the toughest environments to play in college football.
