UTEP Miners (1-1) at No. 19 Michigan Wolverines (2-0) — Game Preview
UTEP comes into Michigan Stadium at 1-1 to face a No. 19 Michigan team that has opened the season 2-0. It’s a Big Ten measuring stick for the Wolverines against outside competition, a home date that lets a ranked team build on an unbeaten start before conference play tightens the schedule.
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood has completed 21 of 39 passes for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and he’ll work against a UTEP defense that already has a proven pass rusher in Sterling Miles. UTEP counters with EJ Colson Jr. under center, who has thrown for 291 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-33 passing, giving the Miners a passing attack capable of testing a Michigan secondary that hasn’t faced that kind of volume yet this year.
Michigan’s answer on the perimeter is JJ Buchanan, who has hauled in 8 catches for 174 yards and a score, while the Wolverines’ pass rush is led by Dom Nichols and his 2 sacks on the season. Raymond Moore III adds a rushing dimension for UTEP with 142 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, a wrinkle that could keep Michigan’s front seven honest.

Players to Watch: UTEP vs. Michigan
UTEP Miners
EJ Colson Jr. — QB. He has completed 20 of 33 passes for 291 yards and four touchdowns this season. That kind of efficiency through the air gives UTEP a real chance to keep pace on the road against a ranked opponent.
On the ground, Raymond Moore III has carried the ball 12 times for 142 yards and a touchdown. His breakaway ability adds a second layer to the Miners’ offense that Michigan’s defense will have to account for.
Anchoring the UTEP defensive front is Sterling Miles, a defensive end who already has a sack to his credit this season and figures to test Michigan’s protection up front.
Michigan Wolverines
Bryce Underwood — QB. He has thrown for 281 yards on 21-of-39 passing with a touchdown and an interception, numbers that reflect a young quarterback still finding his rhythm through two games.
JJ Buchanan gives Michigan a reliable target on the outside, with 8 receptions for 174 yards and a touchdown so far this season.
Michigan’s pass rush runs through Dom Nichols, whose 2 sacks lead the Wolverines and set the tone for a defense trying to keep UTEP’s offense off schedule.
