Jim Harbaugh Presser, UNLV, JJ McCarthy & Roman Wilson, Michigan Defense

Michigan did a lot of things well in its opener but can definitely improve in week two against UNLV.
In this story:

Michigan is sitting at 1-0 after beating ECU pretty easily in week one, but it wasn't perfect and didn't look how most people thought it would. The Wolverines only scored one rushing touchdown and weren't able to run the ball like they did just about every week last year. Blake Corum led the way with 73 yards rushing and the lone score, while Donovan Edwards mustered just 37 yards on 12 carries. Obviously Michigan wants to run the ball, but it just wasn't working.

What was working, was the passing attack with JJ McCarthy. The junior signal caller was SHARP on Saturday going 26-of-30 for 280 yards and three touchdowns. At one point, No. 9 completed 15 passes in a row and could not miss no matter where he threw the ball from. Roman Wilson was McCarthy's favorite target on the day catching all three touchdown passes, while Cornelius Johnson and Colston Loveland both proved productive as well. At the end of the day, Michigan wins the game 30-3 without trying all that hard.
