The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines improved to 2-0 on Saturday afternoon after defeating the UNLV Rebels 35-7. Here are key takeaways from the game.
J.J. McCarthy is electric once again
In the season opener Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy was 26-of-30 for 280 yards with three touchdowns. His completion percentage of 87.6 was the highest ever for a Michigan quarterback with more than 25 attempts. McCarthy followed that effort by every bit as impressive of a showing versus UNLV. In Week 2, McCarthy was 22-of-25 for 278 yards and two touchdowns. McCarthy threw into tight windows repeatedly, making throws than many quarterbacks don’t even think of attempting.
