Hawaii vs Michigan Preview
Eighth-ranked Michigan (1-0) dominated Colorado State 51-7 to open the season last week, and the Wolverines look to do more of the same on Saturday.
Hawaii (0-2) comes to Ann Arbor searching for answers after two lopsided losses. The Rainbow Warriors fell 63-10 to Vanderbilt on August 27 and 49-17 to Western Kentucky on September 3. Now the Rainbow Warriors will face a Wolverines team that hit on all cylinders against the Rams.
Wolverines quarterback Cade McNamara went 9-18 for 136 yards and a touchdown. Alan Bowman and J.J. McCarthy also saw playing time at quarterback, throwing for a combined 70 yards. McCarthy, who will start on Saturday, also rushed for 50 yards and scored a touchdown.
“I think he definitely pulls defenders,” Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh said as transcribed by USA Today’s Wolverines Wire. “They have to know where he is. I mean our defensive coaches are the same way. There needs to be a plan when a quarterback can run in the four-fives and that gets to be faster than linebackers. So you’ve gotta have a plan to contain that. You can definitely see even if he’s carrying out fake somebody’s paying attention.”
Michigan rolled with the running game and piled up 234 yards and four touchdowns by four different players — including McCarthy. Blake Corum rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown. Donovan Edwards added 64 yards and a touchdown. Alex Orji added a 4-yard touchdown.
On defense, nine different Wolverines players tallied at least a half sack. The Wolverines showed off their depth with 26 different players making tackles.
“You get to get better at football by playing football,” Harbaugh said via Wolverines Wire. “And if we have the opportunity, we’re always gonna play guys as much as we can. And right now, we’ve got over 100 on the roster that have played in games. I’d like to set a record there, I’d like to get 120-130 — hopefully, we get everybody to have played football. It makes the team better, makes them better. Great for the morale of the team. Everybody wants to play.”
Hawaii has yet to score on a touchdown pass, and Rainbows starting quarterback Brayden Schager has four interceptions. Running back Dedrick Parson has been the most productive offensive player thus far with 111 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
Despite Hawaii’s struggles, Harbaugh wants his team to make the most of the matchup with the Rainbow Warriors.
Yeah, we’re just trying to get as good as football as we can, as fast as we can,” Harbaugh said via Wolverines Wire. “You always respect your opponent. You take nothing for granted. And also, we’re going to need to improve, we have to improve. I saw some darn good football teams playing after our game, Watching them on TV. Teams like Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama. Notre Dame was real good. A lot of good football teams out there and playing good, so we’ve gotta get better, better, better, better, and better. That’s what I’m talking about.”
