Corum needed just 12 carries to gain 71 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and [reach the end zone five times](https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2022/09/17/michigan-footballs-blake-corum/69501112007/) — matching the touchdown tally of former U-M running back Hassan Haskins in last year’s triumph over Ohio State. Keegan was evaluated in the medical tent and remained in uniform but never reentered the game. McCarthy, who [completed 15 of 18 passes for 214 yards on Saturday](https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2022/09/17/michigan-football-j-j-mccarthy-uconn/69500912007/), was the only noteworthy development in the last three weeks aside from Michigan’s bill of health. Backups Davis Warren, Alan Bowman and Alex Orji are in contention for the No. McNamara was sacked on first down and then absorbed a vicious hit from two UConn defenders as he released a pass on the next snap. Edwards wore a sweatsuit on the sideline and did not appear to have any kind of extra protection on his right leg. On his second carry of the game, Corum veered around the left side of Michigan’s offensive line with nothing but green turf in front of him. The Wolverines had an average starting position of their own 45-yard line in the first quarter and their own 49-yard line in the second. Henning fielded a 48-yard kick on the Michigan half with plenty of space to his left. Kolesar’s block gave U-M the ball at the Connecticut 18-yard line, and three plays later Corum plunged into the end zone for a three-touchdown lead. [College football in September is (mostly) broken. Henning brought one all the way back for a score and the Wolverines limited opposing quarterback Zion Turner to four completions and 17 passing yards in a farcical 59-0 win over Connecticut.

Five takeaways: Michigan football defeats UConn (WolverinesWire)

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — No. 4 Michigan played its third-straight home game to start the season and on Saturday the Wolverines hosted the 1-2 Connecticut Huskies.

The Huskies went just 1-for-8 on third down conversion in the first half. The Wolverines rotate so many guys in-and-out on the defense — especially on the defensive line — so the opposing team doesn’t know what they’re going to get each series. It was still an impressive showing from the Michigan defensive line. He pulled the ball away on Blake Corum when he should’ve handed it off to him and it ended on a negative yardage play. The 2021 Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line is off to a little bit of a shaky start to the 2022 season. McCarthy played one drive in the second half before Davis Warren took over. The Wolverines view Henning as a ‘Deebo Samuel’ type of player and that was how the maize and blue used him against Connecticut. It was the Wolverines’ first punt return for a touchdown since 2018. Sainristil was flying all over the field against the Huskies on Saturday. The maize and blue only allowed 110 yards of total offense to the Huskies and Michigan recovered a ‘non-forced’ fumble by UConn. Both Alex Orji and Alan Bowman come in during the second half to lead touchdown drives, and Leon Franklin had his first-career rushing touchdown. McCarthy-led Wolverines totaled 467 yards of total offense and the Wolverines’ defense created havoc against a lowly UConn Huskies team.

“The thing I was proud of is the attitude and the effort of our young men. This is not the situation where you want to play a lot of young guys, but we got to play a ton of young guys and we’re going forward with them.” The Huskies finished with just 110 yards of offense, going 2 for 14 on third down and earning just six first downs. Big Ten championship-winning quarterback Cade McNamara entered late in the first half and was roughed up. “My mind isn’t racing anymore,“ the sophomore said. Corum started the scoring barrage with a 20-yard run on the game’s opening drive and had three 1-yard scores before halftime.

The Huskies (1-3) had just 64 yards of offense in the first half, had a punt blocked and gave up a punt return for a touchdown over the opening 30 minutes. “I don’t know how good we are,“ he acknowledged.
