Michigan Escapes at Home, 24-21
Braylon Edwards helped No. 17 Michigan avoid a second consecutive upset.
Edwards caught eight passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in the third quarter of the Wolverines’ 24-21 victory over San Diego State on Saturday.
The Wolverines (2-1) bounced back after last week’s loss at Notre Dame, but it wasn’t easy. They committed four turnovers, and the Aztecs (1-1), who were three-touchdown underdogs, missed two fourth-quarter field-goals tries that could have tied it.
With his fourth reception, Edwards passed Marquise Walker to become Michigan’s all-time leading receiver.
He now has 181 catches for 2,562 yards and 28 touchdowns in his career.
