ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan's press defense against UNLV's wide receivers made it difficult for the Rebels to get open.
But it's not as if UNLV's defense let the Wolverines roam free, either. At least not after Michigan's opening drive, which produced a touchdown.
After that, the Rebels' defensive backs made plenty of plays in a 28-7 loss at "The Big House" on Saturday.
The numbers bore that out. Michigan quarterback Jake Rudock completed 14 of 22 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown, with an interception.
UNLV received help from more than its secondary.
