After three weeks of near-total domination, the Michigan Wolverines had their first taste of adversity Saturday — grinding out a 34-27 victory against the Maryland Terrapins.
Though it was by no means a bad performance — 220 yards and two touchdowns with a 69% completion rate — quarterback J.J McCarthy struggled to hit the long pass for a majority of the game, only snapping the cold streak deep into the fourth quarter.
Following the game, McCarthy acknowledged these missed opportunities but praised his team’s grit in the win.
“I’d probably say that it definitely wasn’t my best performance and I want some things back,” McCarthy said.
