ESPN reported, "A week after getting stunned by Appalachian State, the Wolverines were handed their worst beating since before Bo Schembechler worked the sideline at the Big House. Dennis Dixon accounted for 368 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, helping the Ducks build a 25-point lead at halftime and cruise to an easy victory."2 The 32–point defeat was Michigan's worst loss since losing 50–14 at Ohio State in 1968. The Wolverines started 0-2 for the first since 1998 and the first time starting 0-2 on a homestead since 1959. "
