Michigan tips Miami off the top By TOMMY GEORGE Free Press Sports Writer ANN ARBOR - Michigan's defense picked apart the nation's No. 1 team, swiping six Bernie Kosar passes and forcing two Miami fumbles en route to a 22-14 victory Saturday. For the No. 14 Wolverines, playing before 105,403 fans at Michigan Stadium, the season-opening win could not have been more spirited or impressive. The defense put Kosar in a pickle all day, and the offense - behind fullback Bob Perryman's three touchdown runs and some pinpoint passing from Jim Harbaugh in his first collegiate start - kept Miami's defense on the run. "In a game like this, you remember the big plays on defense," said Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. "When you get six interceptions against a guy that great, it's good. (Defensive coach Gary) Moeller did a great job when he put that defense in. I thought he was nuts, but it worked." See WOLVERINES, Page 9H
