Knipp was 19 of 25 for 237 yards passing, threw a pair of touchdown passes to Willie Fairman and another to Noah Sol. Milo Hall ran for 118 yards on 30 carries for the Bears (2-7, 2/3 Big Sky Conference).

SEPT 30/WEEK 5 BIG SKY DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Northern Colorado cornerback Michael Walker recorded two game-changing interceptions in the game, as he played a critical role in the team's first win of the season over Idaho.

Walker's first interception came on the 10-yard line with Idaho up by 10 with 51 seconds left in the first half, as he returned it eight yards. Walker's second interception came in the endzone in the third quarter with the Vandals up by a touchdown with 4:05 to go in the third quarter. He became the first Bear since 2013 with a multiple interception game. He added in six tackles in the victory.

08/27/19 - Dylan McCaffrey, rSr/2023, Northern Colorado + More +

No surprise here: Shea Patterson is Michigan's starting quarterback. But backup Dylan McCaffrey also seems to be in coach Jim Harbaugh's plans. "All options are open that way, in terms of that," Harbaugh said Monday. "Would like to definitely play both." The seventh-ranked Wolverines open the season Saturday night against Middle Tennessee, and this is Patterson's second season with Michigan after transferring from Mississippi. He threw for 2,600 yards and 22 touchdowns last year. McCaffrey played in six games last season and attempted just 15 passes.

So Patterson has the clear edge in terms of game experience, but Harbaugh was asked anyway to confirm that he would in fact be the starter Saturday. "Yes," he replied. "God willing and the creek don't rise." Harbaugh was less clear about the running back spot, saying he hasn't decided who his top option is there. Michigan lost Karan Higdon and Chris Evans from last year's team. Harbaugh also said there's still competition taking place for kicking duties, with Quinn Nordin and Jake Moody in the mix. Nordin made 11 of 16 field goals last season. Moody handled kickoffs and also went 10 of 11 on field goals. - AP College Football

07/19/19 - Tru Wilson, rSr/2022, Northern Colorado + More +

The running back room in Ann Arbor has seen some big changes from last season. Former starter Karan Higdon graduated, and backup Chris Evans has been suspended for the 2019 season, leaving Tru Wilson and Christian Turner as the only two running backs who have played from last season on the roster. Head coach Jim Harbaugh subtly announced on the Big Ten Network show BTN Live that he already has a starting running back, which is a surprise to hear since Harbaugh and many other coaches don’t name starters this early before the season. “Tru Wilson is our starter,” Harbaugh said. "He was our second-leading back last year and did a great job." - Wolverines Wire
