ANN ARBOR, Mich. Haason Reddick Jersey . -- Michigan was expected to beat Hawaii by nearly six touchdowns.The odds makers didnt give the Wolverines enough credit.Michigan routed the Rainbows 63-3 in its opener, the storied programs most lopsided win in almost four decades.The fifth-ranked Wolverines (1-0) moved up a couple spots in The Associated Press college football poll and are expecting to keep rolling. Theyre favored to beat Central Florida (1-0) by more than five touchdowns Saturday at the Big House.Here are some things to watch when Michigan hosts the Knights:GROUND GAMEThe Wolverines had 10 players combine for 306 yards rushing last week led by Chris Evans, who ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns in his debut. The ability to run early, often and effectively took a lot of pressure off Wilton Speight in his first start. Anytime the quarterback has a run threat, it helps a lot, he said. To have that balance and guys like we have, weapons after weapons, it makes my job a lot easier.FIGHTING KNIGHTSUCFS first-year coach Scott Frost helped the program do something it failed to do last year by winning its opener, beating South Carolina State 38-0. That confidence-boosting game and a nothing-to-lose mentality have Frost believing his team will be prepare to compete with Michigan. I dont think our kids are going to be intimidated or scared, he said. Theyre going to go in there fighting, but we know we have a challenge in front of us.The Knights will have 110,000-plus people rooting against them, but they dont sound worried.Its going to be a big crowd, but I know what me and my teammates can do if we stick together, receiver TreQuan Smith said.HE ASKED FOR ITMichigan coach Jim Harbaugh pounded Speights chest, slapped his shoulders, his hips and the side of his helmet last week before he took against Hawaii. The relatively unique scene was caught by a TV camera and shared on social media. Speight insisted a couple days later that he asked Harbaugh to physically fire him up.SO FAR, SO GOODFrost, a former Nebraska quarterback, has brought the up-tempo scheme he used as Oregons offensive coordinator UCF. He hopes the hurry-up, no-huddle offense helps the Knights move the ball, score and draw fans. All went relatively well last week. UCF routed South Carolina State, its first win since Dec. 4, 2014, with 92 plays for 462 yards in front of 36,260 fans.FLOOD OF FRESHMENHarbaugh has not hid the fact that he wants to get talented freshmen on the field even if they play a limited number of plays, ending their chances of redshirting to potentially have a fifth year of eligibility. A few weeks ago, Harbaugh said seven or eight players had earned the right to play right away. That total later went to 10. And by the time the Wolverines finished off Hawaii, 18 freshmen were on the field. Evans and highly touted defensive end Rashan Gary were two of the 16 freshmen on scholarship to play at least a snap. There will be 17 or 20 when its all said and done, Harbaugh said.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Budda Baker Cardinas Jersey . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Budda Baker Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. http://www.officialnflcardinalsgear.com/haason-reddick-jersey/ . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3. LOS ANGELES -- San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy hopes a gut-check victory Tuesday will be the boost his club needs as it fights for its playoff life.The Giants buckled down for a pivotal, 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, just one night after a ninth-inning meltdown in a 2-1 loss seemed to send the San Francisco into a freefall.Instead of finding themselves on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, the Giants (80-71) go into Wednesdays action tied with the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals in the National League wild-card race.They also pulled within five games of the Dodgers in the NL West. So a victory at Chavez Ravine would not only give San Francisco a win in the three-games series but would keep alive the teams hopes in the division, given the Giants host Los Angeles Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in the final series of the season.Its going to be a dogfight the rest of the way, Bochy said after his team snapped a three-game losing streak. But tonight we grinded one out and got the job done, and thats a good start. Its the type of win you can build on, and we know we have guys who have gotten the job done before.If theyre going to build on that momentum, theyve got the right guy on the hill. Lefty Matt Moore carries an 11-11 record, but he has saved his best stuff for the stretch drive. Moore sports a 4-1 record in his past five starts. That included aa workmanlike effort in his last start on Friday against St. Haason Reddick Cardinas Jersey. Louis, in which he allowed two runs in five innings of an 8-2 San Francisco victory.Even better, he has found success against the Dodgers. Moore is 2-1 in three starts against them this season, holding them scoreless for 15 1/3 innings at one point.The Dodgers will counter with rookie sensation Kenta Maeda (15-9). The 28-year-old right-hander from Osaka, Japan, recorded his 15th win of the season in his last start, Sept. 16 at Arizona. In five innings, Maeda struck out six and allowed one run on three hits, getting the decision in Los Angeles 3-2 victory.The win put Maeda within two of the Dodgers rookie record set by Rick Sutcliffe in 1979, as he has really come into his own toward the end of the season. Maeda is 7-2 in his past 10 starts, over which he has limited batters to a .222 average while whiffing 53 and walking just 13.The Giants have found Maeda tough to solve; he has won both starts against San Francisco this year.The Dodgers have dropped two of the past three games, but they are still in the drivers seat, with a magic number of seven to clinch the division.Well just keep plugging away, manager Dave Roberts said. You cant let yourself get too high or too low.
