The TD adds to a big day for Schoonmaker, who now has 9 catches for 67 yards and that important TD. McCarthy is also having his best game as a starter, with 304 passing yards and 3 TD passes.
Michigan was not done scoring after the Schoonmaker score. With under 3 minutes to go, McCarthy found Cornelius Johnson for his 3rd TD pass of the day.
Another one! 💪💪
