ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Jake Rudock ran for two touchdowns and threw for another one during a first half in which Michigan did all of its scoring in a 31-0 rout against No. 22 BYU on Saturday.

The Wolverines (3-1) have won three straight under Jim Harbaugh after their season-opening loss at Utah. They were 1-9 in their last 10 games against ranked opponents.

The Cougars (2-2) have lost in consecutive weeks, including a one-point setback at No. 10 UCLA, after beating No. 20 Boise State by double digits and Nebraska on a Hail Mary.

De'Veon Smith ran for 125 yards on 16 carries, including a tackle-breaking, 60-yard touchdown, before leaving the game late in the third quarter after appearing to hurt his right ankle.
