the second half to win 38-24.Thats the last thing left to

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh has come up with another unique way of helping his players stay motivated, imploring them to avoid Freddy P. Soft.Who?Hes a 4-inch guy that wears a cape and a hat with a plume in it, Harbaugh explained, holding his right thumb and index finger apart just above his right shoulder. Hes just tall enough to talk right into your ear and tell you that `You dont have to practice today. `Why are you working so hard? Or, `Get over there in the shade. No need to attack with enthusiasm unknown to mankind today. Take a break. Take a knee. Hes not a guy you want around. You want to get him off your shoulder as fast as possible.No. 4 Michigan (2-0) tried to avoid listening to the praise it is getting for beating Hawaii and Central Florida by a combined score of 114-17 while it prepared to play Colorado (2-0) on Saturday at home.Here are some things to watch when the Wolverines host the Buffaloes:HAIL AT MICHIGAN: Colorado is commemorating its 1994 win at Michigan Stadium, where Kordell Stewart famously threw a 64-yard Hail Mary to Michael Westbrook with no time left on the clock for a stunning victory. The Buffaloes plan to wear throwback uniforms that look like they did 22 years ago, sporting white jerseys, black pants and gold helmets. Bill McCartney, who coached the Buffaloes in that game and during their 1990 national championship season, plans to be in the Big House as a guest of Colorado athletic director Rick George.Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said he has met everybody involved in the play, and got to know Stewart well last summer when the former star quarterback was back on campus to take classes and graduate.Not only can he throw the ball 70-something yards in the air, hes a really good guy, MacIntyre said.YEAH, THAT WAS ME: HBO Real Sports spent time with and around Harbaugh during his first spring at Michigan. In one scene, Harbaugh was shown shouting at a player, whose image was blurred to keep him relatively anonymous. Quarterback Wilton Speight, who has emerged as a starter this season, acknowledged earlier this week he was the player Harbaugh was yelling at.All my buddies joked, they said, `Yeah, they blurred out the number, but youre the only 8-foot quarterback, Speight said. Obviously, weve come a long way since then and its something to look back and laugh.VERY FUNNY: Michigan does not release its depth chart so the Buffaloes figured two can play that game. Colorados game notes list Elmer Fudd at quarterback, Vito Corleone at nose tackle and Happy Gilmore at punter.I think it was a very comical thing for us to release a depth chart like that, Colorados real quarterback Sefo Liufau.Harbaugh, apparently, didnt think it was humorous.I was trying to imagine how many people sat around and how many hours they worked on that, he said Thursday in a radio interview on WXYT.OH, NO I DIDNT: Harbaugh was the subject of social media buzz earlier this week when a video post appeared to show him put his right thumb and index finger near his right nostril and into his mouth during the UCF game. Harbaugh asked to address the topic on his radio show earlier in the week.I have never eaten a booger in my entire life, Harbaugh insisted. It might have looked like that was happening, but if you rub your nose and then you bite your fingernail, thats not eating a booger.CONNECTED: When McCartney was an assistant for Bo Schembechler, before Colorado hired him away in 1982, he worked with Jack Harbaugh, father of Jim and John. The eldest Harbaugh would later go on to lead Western Kentucky, where he coached Matt MacIntyre, Colorado coachs brother, and prevented the football program from folding with some help from his wife and sons.That family is credited for sure for saving football at Western Kentucky, MacIntyre said.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org LeBron James Shoes From China .

The Southeastern Conferences disappointing opening week featured a bit of deja vu for several teams.The proud league had a 6-6 record in nonconference games, well below its 80-plus winning percentage in nonconference games since 2006. And the most maddening thing for several SEC teams wasnt losing, but how they lost.Many were plagued by the same problems that were supposedly corrected in the offseason -- yet obviously were not.Though its early, how teams move forward will likely determine whether the surprising season-opening losses -- and unexpectedly close wins -- are evidence that a down year is on the horizon.Heres a quick trip around the league to see how the repeat offenders are addressing their issues:- No. 21 LSU is as good a place to start as any: The Tigers have a Heisman Trophy candidate at running back in Leonard Fournette and plenty of talent on defense, but the teams continued inability to throw the ball was evident in a 16-14 loss to Wisconsin.Quarterback Brandon Harris completed just 12 of 21 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss, showing little evidence that hes improved following an inconsistent 2015 season.Even so, embattled LSU coach Les Miles is adamant the offense can put up big numbers this season.The issue is we have to find the recipe that allows that to happen because we have talent, Miles said. I promise you this: Weve recruited well, and theres some really, really good kids here and good people.Said LSU receiver Travin Dural: We all have a lot of faith in Brandon.- Vanderbilt and Missouri were the SECs two worst offensive teams in 2015 and judging from the opening weekend, not much has changed. The Commodores sputtered in a 13-10 loss to South Carolina while the Tigers fell 26-11 to West Virginia.The margin of error for us is very, very thin, Vanderbilts third-year coach Derek Mason said.Missouri fans have some room to be optimistic with new coach Barry Odom. The pace of the teams offense -- the Tigers ran an eye-opening 100 plays in the loss -- was an encouraging sign that Odom is willing to push the tempo.Its about putting our kids in a position to do what they can do and for us, with our skillset right now, thats going to give us an advantage, Odom said.- Florida managed to win on Saturday, but its underwhelming 24-7 victory over lowly UMass was so uninspiring that voters dropped the Gators from No. 25 to out of the poll.A sluggish offense plagued Florida for much of last season, especially during a three-game losing streak to end the year. Luke Del Rio threw for 256 yards aand two touchdowns in his first career start as the Gators finally pulled away in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd.- Auburns 19-13 loss to No. 2 Clemson, which played for a national title last season, wasnt unexpected. But the Tigers are once again struggling to find a starting quarterback one year after Jeremy Johnson and Sean White were inconsistent under center.Johnson and White -- along with newcomer John Franklin III -- all played against Clemson. No one seized control of the offense and the Tigers managed just 175 passing yards.Malzahn said White will remain the starter for this weeks game against Arkansas State with Franklin as the backup.Weve got a chance to be a good offense, and thats what were going to continue to thrive to be and youll see this offense improve, Malzahn said.- Kentucky and No. 19 Ole Miss didnt have much trouble scoring in their openers -- at least in the first half -- but both teams gave up big leads.The Wildcats collapse was especially demoralizing because it came in a home game against Southern Mississippi, a team from Conference USA. Kentucky had a 35-10 lead in the second quarter before giving up 34 straight points to lose 44-35.Kentucky fans have seen that before.In last years season finale against rival Louisville, the Wildcats had a 24-7 halftime lead before the Cardinals responded with 31 straight points in the second half to win 38-24.Thats the last thing left to do in this program, is finding that winning attitude, that winning culture and ways to win games instead of losing them, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said.- Ole Miss can at least say its collapse came against Florida State , which is widely considered one of the nations best teams. But the fact that the Rebels had a 28-6 lead late in the second quarter before giving up 33 straight points and losing 45-34 still stings.The lost opportunity felt eerily like a few games in 2015, when the teams porous defense blew a two-touchdown lead against Memphis in a road loss and gave up 53 points in an overtime loss to Arkansas.Coaches like to say the most improvement for a team comes between Week 1 and Week 2.Many will be watching the SEC this week to see if teams around the league can make that leap.---AP Sports Writers Brett Martel, Gary B.
