Quick recap, what’s next for Michigan
Michigan football moved to 3-0 on the season after a 59-0 win over the visiting UConn Huskies on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor. The shutout is the Wolverines’ first since a 52-0 win over Rutgers in 2019.
It was a mostly clean and dominant performance as the team prepares itself for the start of Big Ten play.
Sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy received his second-straight start and was efficient again. He finished the day 15-for-18 for 214 yards. Senior wide receiver Ronnie Bell had 7 catches for 96 yards, while junior running back had 12 carries for 71 yards and 5 touchdowns. He becomes the third back in program history to have 5 rushing scores, joining Ron Johnson and Hassan Haskins.
