ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- No. 4 Michigan was tested for the first time this season, falling behind by two touchdowns twice in the first quarter and by four points in the second half.The Wolverines responded well to the challenge, going ahead on DeVeon Smiths 42-yard run early in the third quarter and pulling away to beat Colorado 45-28 on Saturday.In the first two games, we were never really punched in the face, tight end Jake Butt said after making seven receptions for 87 yards. It wasnt going to be a fairy tale the whole season.Michigan (3-0) had beaten Hawaii and Central Florida by a combined score of 114-17.The Wolverines scored 17 straight points after falling behind 21-7 late in the first quarter. Michigan scored the last 21 points of the game, capped by Jabrill Peppers 54-yard punt return early in the fourth.The best way to deal with adversity is to not have it, said Wilton Speight, who was 16 of 30 for 229 yards and a TD. We were hoping to not have any adversity. Is that realistic? Maybe not. But when you look at yourself as a good team, maybe a great team, you want to avoid it as much as possible.We really couldnt do anything in the beginning, but we saw adversity in the eye and came back at it.The Buffaloes (2-1) got to midfield on the final possession, but they were more than a Hail Mary away by the end of the matchup, which rekindled memories of Kordell Stewarts 64-yard pass to Michael Westbrook in 1994 in the same stadium. Both Stewart and Westbrook attended Saturdays game.It didnt help that Sefo Liufau was hurt after throwing his third TD pass, a 70-yarder to Shay Fields that put Colorado up 28-24 just after halftime.Liufau, who was shaken up in the first half, grabbed his right ankle after Ryan Glasgow hit him on the go-ahead score. He limped through Colorados next series before being replaced by freshman Steven Montez.The senior quarterback said it was devastating, to be relegated to watching the rest of the game.Its a little over-dramatic, I think, but I cant really find another word right now, he said.Punting was also problem for the Buffaloes.Grant Perry returned a blocked punt for a 6-yard score when Michigan was trailing 14-0 late in the first quarter. Colorado punter Alex Kinney booted the ball into a teammates back in the second quarter, setting up the Wolverines for Jehu Chessons 17-yard run that pulled them within a TD.It was a big part of the game of us not coming out on top, Buffaloes coach Mike MacIntyre said.THE TAKEAWAYColorado: The Buffaloes look as if they should have enough talent to win more than four games, the most theyve won in MacIntyres previous three years at the school.We have a good football team, he said. There were a couple of things that happened out there that changed the momentum a little bit, but our guys kept battling hard.Colorado has to hope Liufau is not injured seriously again.I just couldnt plant, and throw with much velocity, Liufau said. It was better for me to come out.Michigan: The Wolverines are giving up big plays, allowing Colorado to go nearly three-fourths of the field on one play a week after letting Central Florida run for 80-plus yards on two runs.We definitely have to get the big plays corrected, Peppers acknowledged.Speight struggled for the first time, barely completing half of his passes and nearly getting picked off several times.It wasnt as clean as a quarterback would have liked it to be, coach Jim Harbaugh said.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Wolverines will likely move up a spot in The Associated Press college football poll because No. 2 Florida State lost 63-20 to Louisville.CATCH WITH THE CAPTAINTom Brady was Michigans honorary captain, accepting the invitation to come back to Michigan while he is suspended for four games from playing for the New England Patriots. Harbaugh, another former Wolverines quarterback, played catch with Brady during pregame warmups.He can whip it, Harbaugh said with a grin. He can throw it well. I wish I wouldnt have given him the wind.UP NEXTColorado: The Buffaloes, who have only one Pac-12 win in two of MacIntyres three years and went 0-9 in 2014, open the conference season with a tough test at Oregon.Michigan: The Wolverines, whose last Big Ten title was in 2004, will play their fourth of five straight games at home against Penn State in their conference opener.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.orgCurtis Samuel Panthers Jersey .

Carragher was at Anfield for the game against the Black Cats and showed solidarity with the protesting supporters by leaving prior to the final whistle. There could be more action taken by supporters over ticket prices Sky sources understand Fenway Sports Group and Liverpools senior management team have since held talks over whether to review the new ticket price structure and Carragher believes the club cannot allow the situation to escalate. The club say that £77 gets you the best seat in the newest stand in the country but why should that be an elitist thing? Why cant the normal working man have the chance to sit there? It isnt fair, the former Liverpool defender told the Daily Mail. Klopp wants solution Jurgen Klopp says the club has a big interest in resolving the dispute Walking out, though, wasnt a nice experience. The pictures you will have seen were visually striking - and they struck a chord with Fenway Sports Group, the clubs owners - but it wasnt a happy atmosphere inside the stadium as fans argued with each other.ddddddddddddor a short time, it took me back to 2010 when the reign of previous owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett was falling apart. That was an awful time and this situation cannot be allowed to escalate. There can be no denying, however, Liverpool have got this wrong. Liverpool supporters staged a walkout at Anfield You want to be proud of your club. You chose them and stick with them through thick and thin. If Marks and Spencers increase their prices, you can shop somewhere else but when your team does it, you are obliged to stick with them.Thats what people need to understand about the walkout at Anfield. It wasnt just Liverpool fans sticking up for themselves, it was Liverpool fans saying enough is enough for every supporter across the land.Liverpool were leading 2-0 at the time of the walkout, but threw away their advantage in the final eight minutes at Anfield as Sunderland scored twice to grab a point. Fan groups Spion Kop 1906 and Spirit of Shankly, who organised the protest, could take further action and have not ruled out staging a similar protest in their next home match against FC Augsburg in the Europa League.Also See:Klopp wants ticket row settledLiverpool discuss ticket pricesLiverpool protests to continueWalkout did not affect Reds ' ' '
