Nico Collins made it look easy.

The Michigan sophomore wide receiver caught his first career touchdown, a 44-yarder, in the second quarter of Michigan’s 49-3 win over Western Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

On a first-and-5 from the WMU 44, Collins streaked down the middle of the field off a play-action pass, putting close to five yards of space between him and the nearest Broncos defender.
