No. 14 Michigan Rolls by E. Michigan 55-0

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Max Martin ran for two touchdowns, then Chad Henne threw two TD passes to Jason Avant as No. 14 Michigan tied a school record with 28 points in the first quarter and went on to roll over Eastern Michigan 55-0 Saturday.<br> <br> A week after losing to Notre Dame, the Wolverines (2-1) recorded their most lopsided win since beating Indiana 58-0 in 2000. They led 54-0 early in the fourth quarter after scoring on nine of 10 possessions and shut out a team for the first time since a 38-0 victory over the Fighting Irish two years ago.<br> <br> Not much was expected of the Eagles, but they were doomed when Steve Breaston returned their first punt 72 yards and a bad snap on the next punt gave Michigan the ball at their 20. They were handed their biggest loss since a 56-0 setback at Wisconsin in 1994.<br> <br> Eastern Michigan did, however, have to travel just 11 miles to make about $430,000.<br> <br> The two-time defending Big Ten champion Wolverines begin conference play next week at Wisconsin while the Eagles play their first Mid-American Conference game at Central Michigan.<br> <br> After leading 38-0 at halftime, Michigan rested Henne, who was 13-of-19 for 147 yards with three TD passes.<br> <br> Martin, starting in place of the injured Mike Hart (hamstring), had career highs with 117 yards rushing and two TDs. Avant made eight receptions for 93 yards and two TDs.<br> <br> Eastern Michigan&#39;s Matt Bohnet, who transferred from Iowa two years ago, was 13-of-25 for 118 yards with an interception. <br> <br> When the Eagles did make a rare play in the first half, they couldn&#39;t follow it up with much production. Bohnet threw an 18-yard pass on the first snap of the game, but four plays later, Breaston&#39;s long return gave Michigan the ball at Eastern Michigan&#39;s 10, leading to Martin&#39;s 1-yard TD. A high snap on the next punt set up Martin&#39;s 10-yard TD.<br> <br> Henne threw 14-yard and 26-yard touchdown passes to Avant for a 28-0 lead in the first quarter, matching the opening burst the Wolverines had against Rice in 2000. Henne&#39;s 6-yard pass to Brian Thompson and Garret Rivas&#39; field goal made it 38-0 late in the first half.<br> <br> The Wolverines emptied their bench in the second half, but that didn&#39;t stop them from scoring, or help Eastern Michigan do much offensively.
