ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan is off to a 2-0 start to the 2022 season after its trashing of Hawaii on Saturday night. The Wolverines defeated the Rainbow Warriors, 56-10.
J.J. McCarthy had his first-career start on Saturday and the former five-star lived up to the hype. The Wolverines’ offense cruised to 588 yards of total offense. The maize and blue seemingly were able to do whatever they wanted on the offensive side of the ball. Blake Corum and the running backs had gaping wide holes and, thanks to great ball placement, the receivers created great separation and hauled in some long passes.
The Michigan defense was stifling against the porous Hawaii offense on Saturday. The Wolverines only generated one sack against the Rainbow Warriors but the Michigan defense only allowed 253 yards of offense. The Rainbow Warriors went just 7-for-19 on third downs and most of those third-down conversions came against the backups that the Wolverines had in during the second half.
