The Michigan Wolverines took it to the chin on Saturday at Oklahoma. The Wolverines fell to 1-1 on the season after losing to the Sooners, 24-13. The Sooners put up 408 yards of total offense and QB John Mateer was too much for Michigan to handle. The Washington State transfer threw for 270 yards and a score, while rushing for 74 yards and two touchdowns.

The Wolverines' trench play wasn't good on either side. Freshman Bryce Underwood was never able to get comfortable in the pocket and passed for just 142 yards on nine-of-24 passing.
