Twitter reactions: Michigan football defeats UConn
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines won their third-straight game to start the 2022 season.
Michigan dominated the UConn Huskies in every facet of the game. The Wolverines won on Saturday, 59-0.
J.J. McCarthy had his second-career start against the Huskies and like last week, the offense looked pretty prolific. While we didn’t see as many down-field throws, the offense moved with ease and the maize and blue had plenty of touchdown drives. Michigan totaled 465 yards of total offense. The Wolverines played eight different quarterbacks on Saturday and all of which had good-looking drives.
The Michigan defense was stifling against the UConn offense. The Huskies only managed 110 yards of offense and it went 2-for-14 on third downs. Zion Turner and UConn could only manage 24 yards thru the air.
Michigan recorded a shutout and Twitter was reacting all day. Here are the best reactions on Twitter.

JJ McCarthy checking to a run on his first drive today. A true Jim Harbaugh QB now.

UConn playcaller has to be yelling "WTF" at this point. Can't run at em, can't run away from em, can't screen em… and now we can't even hold on to the ball

Michigan's special teams continues to be elite. Give Jay Harbaugh his due.

Could probably go to a running clock for the second half of Michigan-UConn …

Michigan's Blake Corum scores his fifth TD of the day, tying the UM record set by Ron Johnson in 1968 (vs. Wisconsin, I'll guess), and Hassan Haskins last season vs. OSU.

Michigan has exceeded 50 points in three consecutive games.
The only other time the Wolverines pulled that off in their history was in 1903, when Michigan outscored Albion, Beloit, Ohio Northern, Indiana and Ferris State by a combined 359-0 over 14 days.
