Takeaways From Michigan’s Win Over Western Michigan

Michigan bounced back from its opening weekend letdown by dominating Western Michigan 49-3 at the Big House.

The win moves the Wolverines to 1-1 on the season and gives fans a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Here are the biggest takeaways from the victory.

Not One, Not Two, But Three Wide Receivers Caught Touchdowns

Entering Saturday’s game, a Michigan wide receiver hadn’t caught a touchdown pass since September 9, 2017 when both Grant Perry and Kekoa Crawford reached the end zone in a non-conference game against Cincinnati.

Michigan ended that streak at 364 days when quarterback Shea Patterson found wide receiver Nico Collins for a 44-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
