Ann Arbor — Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy continued his precision passing for a second straight week and the defense overcame its frustration of a sackless season opener.
McCarthy was 22 of 25 passing for 278 yards and two touchdowns, Blake Corum rushed for three touchdowns and the defense had five sacks to lead the No. 2 Wolverines to a 35-7 victory over UNLV on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
With Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh sidelined for the first three games as part of a self-imposed suspension relating to an NCAA investigation, he has four assistant coaches filling in as interim coaches those games.
