Wolverines Non-Conference Slate
Michigan completed the non-conference schedule with a perfect 3-0 record for the fourth time in Lloyd Carr's five years as Michigan head coach. Carr improved to 4-1 on the road in the month of September and has a 15-2 all-time record during the month in his career.
Thomas Has All-Around Game in Fifth Career Start
Junior tailback Anthony Thomas (Winnfield, La./Winnfield HS) had an all-around day for the Wolverines offensively. Thomas carried 26 times for 97 yards, equaled his career-high eight receptions for 30 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards (after the safety). He finished the game with 149 yards of all-purpose yardage. Thomas started his fifth career game in the road opener at Syracuse.
Two-Way Terrell
Sophomore wide receiver and cornerback David Terrell (Richmond, Va./Huguenot HS) appeared on both sides of the ball against Syracuse, starting at wide receiver and seeing action on the second defensive possession of the game (also played both directions in the season opener vs. Notre Dame). Terrell caught seven passes for 110 yards. He also carried the ball once on a reverse for 15 yards.
Henson Throws for Career High
Sophomore quarterback Drew Henson (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) had his best passing day as a Wolverine against Syracuse. He completed a career-high 16-of-28 passes 151 yards and one TD. Henson led the team on all four offensive scoring drives (three field goals and one touchdown).
Hall Blocks Fifth Career
Senior rush linebacker James Hall (New Orleans, La./St. Augustine HS) blocked his fifth career PAT in the Syracuse game, keeping the score tied (13-13) in the third quarter. Hall recorded five solo tackles, two TFLs and one sack. The sack was the 20th of Hall's career as he joined an exclusive group of only four other Wolverine players.
Williams 25th Start

Frysinger, recovering from an appendectomy during fall camp, played on the first defensive possession of the game. Ziemann saw his first action of the year, playing right guard on the Wolverines' first possession of the second half.
Milestone Games for Players
Senior wide receiver and special teams performer Kevin Bryant (Farmington Hills, Mich./Harrison HS) played in his 40th consecutive football game for the Wolverines. He is the only senior on this season's team to play in every game of his career.
Fifth-year senior offensive lineman Steve Frazier (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood HS) and junior cornerback James Whitley (Norfolk, Va./Norview HS) made their 15th career starts in the Syracuse game.
