J.J. McCarthy excels in first start as Michigan overwhelms Hawaii
Ann Arbor — Another hour for Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy to wait to make his first collegiate start. How could that possibly derail the sophomore who had patiently worked behind Cade McNamara last season to earn this opportunity?
Lightning in the area pushed kickoff against Hawaii to 9:01 p.m., the latest start in Michigan Stadium history, but it didn’t delay the rout Michigan was expected to deliver as ginormous favorites. The No. 4 Wolverines, with McCarthy leading the offense, scored on their first three drives and defeated Hawaii, 56-10, to improve to 2-0 this season.
