The Wolverines opened the season with two easy non-conference home games against Vanderbilt University and Central Michigan University. Both games relied heavily on the tremendous running game, led my Mike Hart, and many Wolverine fans began to worry that the team might be too one dimensional after losing graduated wide receiver Jason Avant. Despite the one dimensionality of the games, Michigan won both games 27-7 and 41-17 respectively. Head Coach Lloyd Carr said, I think our players want to run the football. I think Mike [Hart] and our whole offensive staff, that ' s really where it all begins. I think being able to control the clock is going to be [important]. Next, the football team traveled to South Bend to face the then ranked No. 2 Fighting Irish and Heisman Trophy Candidate quarterback Brady Quinn. Michigan had a tradition of losing their first road game, dropping the previous six road openers. Within the first five minutes of the game, Michigan ' s defense took over and promptly quieted all doubters.

By the end of the game, the Michigan front four had held Notre Dame to a total of four rushing yards and accumulated three sacks, three interceptions and recovered both of Notre Dame ' s fumbles. On the offense, Manningham caught three touchdown passes for 137 yards. With a 47-21 win, Michigan had found its team.
