Three Words: Reactions to Michigan football’s win over Western Michigan

The Michigan Wolverines moved to 1-0 on the season after a 47-14 drubbing of the Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday afternoon. Outside of some early hiccups, the performance was exactly the type fans were hoping to see to give them something to build on heading into the second week.

It was far from a perfect performance, but 47 points and 334 yards rushing after the staff and players said all week they wanted to be physical and get off to a fast start is encouraging. The new defense had some troubles early on, but once the pass rush got going, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way in coordinator Mike Macdonald’s debut.

Ronnie Bell’s injury status looms large following this one, as he hurt his knee in the second quarter on a punt return. That is the only thing seemingly giving people pause on making grand declarations after win No. 1.

We took to Twitter after the game to ask people to describe Saturday’s win in three words. Here were some of your best reactions:
