JJ McCarthy finds Roman Wilson as Michigan opens quick 14-point lead over MSU
JJ McCarthy and the Michigan offense are off with a bang against in-state rival Michigan State, scoring on their first two possessions of the game for a lightning-fast 14-0 start. McCarthy has been ultra-efficient to start the game.
Over the first two drives of the game, McCarthy is a dazzling 9-for-10 passing for 129 yards and a touchdown. That included a brilliant dime to Roman Wilson while the QB was on the move outside the pocket.
The latest touchdown gives Wilson 10 scores on the season. The wide receiver already has 2 catches for 50 yards and the score against the Spartans.
That’s TD No. 🔟 for Roman Wilson.

A lot has been made about the ongoing NCAA investigation into Jim Harbaugh’s program and allegations of sign-stealing and in-person scouting of opponents. Anyone curious how the Wolverines would respond in Week 8 has a quick answer with Michigan gaining a quick double-digit lead and looking for more in Spartan Stadium.
