While the Buffaloes are 2-0 and have outscored their opponents 100-14, the victories are against Colorado State and Idaho State.Colorado also has dropped 22 consecutive matchups against ranked opponents.Then again, the Wolverines played Hawaii and Central Florida while winning their first two games by a cumulative 114-17. And coach Jim Harbaugh agreed that his team has a lot to work on after there were some uneven moments during last Saturdays 37-point victory over Central Florida.Im very excited as a coach that when you win a game 51-14, you still have things to go in and coach and you feel like you can improve your play on, Harbaugh said at a press conference. Theres probably no better feeling as a coach than to start the week that way.It makes me very optimistic that there are ways we can improve. Theres things we can fix. Im very confident with the coaches and players we have that well do that. It makes you feel like you can get better. Im always happy about that, to be in that position.The contest marks only the fifth time the two schools have met.

I cant lie about that.We never expect the game to always go our way -- theyre going to have their ups and downs so were ready for that.

Liufau has completed 74.5 percent of his passes for 522 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight has been even better and his seven passing touchdowns tie John Navarre (2000) for most by a Michigan quarterback in the first two games of the season. Speight has completed 70 percent of his passes to help the Wolverines top 50 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1992.He takes control of the huddle and also does a good job of reading the defenses, senior receiver Amara Darboh said. He knows where to go and doesnt hesitate.Darboh had five catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Central Florida. Darboh and senior tight end Jake Butt share the team lead with three scoring receptions.The Wolverines defense played without senior All-American cornerback Jourdan Lewis in each of the first two games due to two different mysterious injuries.The current one is reportedly related to his back and Harbaugh said he prefers taking the cautious approach.Something different came up, a muscle strain in a different location, Harbaugh said.
