Media Reactions: Michigan Football Thrashes Michigan State on Saturday

After yet another dominating performance from Michigan, there was plenty of talk centering around the Wolverines during the game and after the win over the Spartans.

If there was any worry that yet another allegation surrounding the football program was going to be a distraction for Michigan -- it was quickly absolved. 

Michigan scored a touchdown on its first three drives of the game and forced three three-and-outs on defense. The Wolverines outgained Michigan State 339-51 yards in the first half, and once again, J.J. McCarthy was sensational for Michigan. 

McCarthy ended the game throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns. He threw two touchdowns to Colston Loveland, one to Roman Wilson, and one to AJ Barner. Barner was huge against the Spartans after grabbing eight catches for 99 yards, with a score. 

After defeating the Spartans, 49-0, there was plenty of talk on social media about Michigan.

We must have stole their sign to know how to stop them on a 4th and 1 run up the middle. #GoBlue #ncaaisajoke

Got to love it.

"Little brother" chants are breaking out here at Spartan Stadium. Michigan leads 28-0 in the second quarter. Lot of maize and blue in the house.

Almost feels like a lock that J.J. will break the single-season touchdown record at Michigan

J.J. McCarthy's night is done. He finishes 21-for-27 for 287 yards and 4 TD.

He's up to 18 passing scores on the year. Single-season record at Michigan is 25.
