J.J. McCarthy needs help boost Michigan football's passing game. Will he get it?

Only one position group within the Michigan football offense wasn’t represented on the preseason watch lists for college football’s individual awards.

Yeah, Roman Wilson said, he and his fellow receivers are aware of their exclusion.

“We don’t talk about it. But it’s definitely in the back of my head,” he said in one breath.

“It just is what it is, you know,” Wilson, a senior, added in another.

He then gave a look and laughed. It was an honest reaction. After all, how does anybody expect him to respond to that slight when it largely is based on the fact Michigan threw the ball 39% of the time the past two seasons?
