JJ McCarthy’s first carry – and third snap – of the 2022 season is a 20-yard rush.
Michigan’s up 37-0 with 6:08 left in the third. With the game in hand, might get some more run here with 9.

McCarthy will be the starting quarterback for the team’s game against Hawaii on Sept. 10, but is already making a case for himself to be the starting QB after that game. Michigan is leading Colorado State 37-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter.
McCarthy is 2-for-2 with 8 yards passing and has 50 yards rushing on just 3 carries. We’ll see how he does in a full game when Hawaii comes to Ann Arbor in Week 2.
