Football Highlights - #8 Michigan 36, Cincinnati 14

Ty Isaac ran for a career-high 133 yards and Wilton Speight threw for two touchdowns to help No. 8 Michigan overcome a sluggish performance to pull away and beat the Bearcats 36-14 on Saturday. The Wolverines led by just three points early in the second half and were booed until getting the fans behind them again by scoring 19 straight points to turn a closely contested game into a lopsided one. The Bearcats (1-1), failing to take advantage of Michigan's many mistakes and making some miscues of their own to spoil an upset bid. "Our ability to finish is a stress for our program," said Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell, a former Ohio State interim coach, assistant and player. "That's the thing that hurts, and really leaves a bad taste in the mouth." THE TAKEAWAY: CINCINNATI: The Bearcats should come away encouraged that they had a chance to win a game in which they were five-touchdown underdogs, but they are lamenting missed opportunities against a major program after struggling to beat Austin Peay .
