ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy took the snap from the 18-yard line and quickly felt pressure from his left side.
He sidestepped an attempted tackle and took off to avoid another oncoming defender. He ran to his left, looking to throw the ball downfield. He glanced up as he was fleeing, saw Donovan Edwards and flipped the ball across his body to the running back for a 16-yard completion down to the 2-yard line.
It was a seemingly inconsequential play in a Week 7 game against Indiana, a game the Wolverines would win 52-7.
