No. 4 Michigan got a bit of a wake-up call on Saturday but was still able to come away with a win.
Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy was up and down in his first Big Ten start. He completed 18-of-26 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns, but made some questionable decisions along the way. He held the ball way too long on several plays, missed a few easy throws and missed multiple opportunities to take off and run.
McCarthy has a much more dynamic skill-set than McNamara and showed that early in the year — but that came against Colorado State, Hawaii and UConn. Maryland represented a significant jump in competition. That was evident for the Wolverines as a whole, not just McCarthy. In the second half, Michigan started to get some pressure on Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa and McCarthy got into a better rhythm. McCarthy found Roman Wilson for a 20-yard score early in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, a vicious hit knocked Tagovailoa from the game for a short period.
