Ann Arbor — Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy continued his precision passing for a second straight week, and the defense overcame its frustration from a sackless season opener, giving the second-ranked Wolverines a lift in their second game of the season.
McCarthy was 22-of-25 for 278 yards and two touchdowns and Blake Corum rushed for three touchdowns to lead the No. 2 Wolverines to a 35-7 victory over UNLV on Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Roman Wilson had two touchdown receptions and the defense had five sacks.
With Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh sidelined for the first three games as part of a self-imposed suspension relating to an NCAA investigation, he has four assistant coaches filling in as interim coaches those games.
