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.orgBrian Anderson Jersey .

The sentence follows Sharpers guilty pleas in state and federal courts in New Orleans, and pleas of guilty or no contest to similar charges in Arizona, California and Nevada -- all the result of a multi-jurisdiction plea deal that once called for a sentence of about nine years.Early this year, U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo rejected that sentence as too light. She imposed the 18-year, four-month sentence last week.In state court on Thursday, Judge Karen Herman made clear she thought two decades was a relatively light punishment for the fallen NFL star, calling his behavior such an epic disappointment.Thursdays second sentencing hearing was again punctuated by tearful testimony from victims. One who said she was determined from the time she realized she had been raped in 2013 to see him prosecuted and see him branded as a serial rapist and a sex offender. She added that, for months, she woke up screaming in the middle of the night because of the ordeal.Another said she forgave Sharper, despite suffering through depression and fears that have caused her to miss work and withdraw emotionallyy from people who care about her.ddddddddddddIm afraid no one understands, she said.Herman pointedly told Sharper that had he been tried by a jury and convicted on his original charges, including aggravated rape, the sentence would have been much harsher. She accepted the 20-year sentence only after consulting with attorneys and victims. She said the deal would help bring closure to the victims.Sharper again apologized to his victims and their families and continued to ask for forgiveness, at one point telling the judge, I am not a monster.Sentenced to nine years already in Arizona, Sharper still faces formal sentencing in California and Nevada. He is expected to serve his sentence in federal custody.Sharper had two co-defendants in the Louisiana cases. Former restaurant worker Erik Nunez and former St. Bernard Parish Sheriffs Deputy Branden Licciardi are set for sentencing in October on related charges.Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.
