Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s Michigan vs Colorado matchup from Ann Arbor.
Michigan has opened the season just like people expected. The Wolverines have dominated opponents to the tune of 114-17 through two weeks and the Jim Harbaugh effect is proving to be quite fruitful. Michigan will have its toughest test of the season thus far in Week 3 against the 2-0 Colorado Buffaloes.
Wilton Speight is rising to the occasion as Michigan’s starting quarterback, replacing the departed Jake Rudock. He has already passed for 457 yards, seven touchdowns and an interception while completing 70 percent of his throws. Amara Darboh, Jake Butt and Jehu Chesson have become a dynamic trio of pass-catchers. They have combined for 23 catches for 385 yards and six touchdowns through two games.
Freshman running back Chris Evans has broken out as the leading rusher for the Wolverines, overtaking De’Veon Smith with 147 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries.
The Buffaloes, like the Wolverines, have blown out inferior opponents 100-14 to start the season, but traveling to Ann Arbor will be a much more difficult test. Colorado’s Sefo Liufau is one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country as a fourth-year starter.
The senior is just 2,000 yards away from reaching the 10,000-yard mark for his career and he has begun the 2016 season with 522 yards and three touchdowns with a 75 percent completion rate.

Colorado’s strong ground game will look to exploit a struggling Michigan run defense which has allowed nearly 180 yards per game. The Buffaloes average about 260 yards per game on the ground, led by Phillip Lindsay’s 125 yards and four scores as well as Liufau’s 120 yards and a touchdown.
