Michigan’s 30-3 win over East Carolina featured quarterback J.J. McCarthy and wide receiver Roman Wilson connecting in the end zone.
Not once, not twice, but three times. McCarthy found Wilson for touchdown passes of 14, 10, and 15 yards. McCarthy was 26-of-30 through the air for 280 yards and three touchdowns. While McCarthy distributed the ball to other offensive playmakers, it’s clear Wilson’s his go-to guy. In all, Wilson had six receptions for 78 yards and three touchdown grabs.
Following the game, McCarthy had the highest of praise for Wilson.
“That man right there is one of the most special players in the country — I’ll say it right here, right now.
