In the first game of the Rich Rodriguez era, Utah took the lead in the second quarter and went on to hold off the Wolverines for 25-23 win, in front of 108,421 at Michigan Stadium.

Redshirt sophomore Nick Sheridan got the start for the Wolverines and had some solid moments early, though he showed signs of inexperience as the game wore on.

Michigan opened the scoring less than four minutes into the game.After going three and out on their first possession, the Wolverines got a second chance when Jereme Brooks had the ball stripped on the punt return. Linebacker Kevin Leach recovered the ball for Michigan at the Utah 26.
