The Michigan Wolverines won their first road test of the year in dominant fashion, 45-7 over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The win was total dominance from start to finish. Nebraska’s only points came on a meaningless drive late in the game with Michigan’s second- and third-string defenders in the game.
J.J. McCarthy had a terrific outing despite not putting up video game numbers. He completed 12 of 16 passes for 156 yards and two impressive touchdowns. More than the numbers was McCarthy’s rare ability to throw on the run. The junior signal caller demonstrated his impressive aptitude for the difficult maneuver multiple times, including on a touchdown to Roman Wilson.
Here are our five takeaways from the game.
