Michigan Wolverines, under the direction of new head coach Sherrone Moore, began their season on a high note with a 30-10 win over Fresno State. Moore, who is stepping into the role after Jim Harbaugh, exhibited remarkable enthusiasm throughout the game, rallying fans and players alike at The Big House. Despite initial struggles on the offense, Michigan's strong second half performance, highlighted by touchdowns from Davis Warren and Alex Orji, along with Will Johnson's significant interception, sealed the victory. Defying stiff competition from Fresno State, the Wolverines' revamped offensive line and new quarterback lineup took time to gain momentum. Key players like Colston Loveland and Kalel Mullings made notable contributions, marking a solid start to the season. The game showcased Michigan's resilience and potential under Moore's leadership while Fresno State, under interim coach Tim Skipper, impressed by keeping pace for much of the match. Skipper, though unsuccessful, showed promise against a top-tier team. Expectations remain high for Michigan as they prepare to face Texas next week, aiming to climb higher in the AP poll rankings despite this opening performance.
