The Wolverines won Brady Hoke’s debut with linebacker Brandon Herron returning an interception 94 yards for a touchdown and scoring again on a fumble return.

Fitzgerald Toussaint had 11 carries for 80 yards and ran for two TDs.



Denard Robinson was 9 of 13 for 98 yards and ran eight times for 46 yards, making him the team’s third-leading rusher in the game.

The Wolverines were driving for another score when the game was suspended because of lightning. Nearly an hour later, both teams made the agreement to end the game, making the result, statistics, & records official in what school officials say is the first weather-shortened game in the 132-year history of college football’s winningest team.



Meanwhile in Ypsilanti, Eastern Michiagn was forced to postpone their season opener against Howard to Sunday at noon due to heavy lightning storms spreading across the area.
