In this story:

For the second game in a row, it was over right from the jump. Will Johnson took an interception to the house during the first 12 seconds of the game and then Michigan forced the Gophers to punt, and Michigan went down and got a field goal. 

The Gophers tried to make things interesting when Athan Kaliakmanis hit Daniel Jackson for a touchdown with six seconds left in the half, but Michigan was just too good. Behind J.J. McCarthy's sensational performance, the Wolverines' secondary playing superb, and the talent gap -- this game was all Michigan's. 

After defeating Minnesota, 52-10 on Saturday, the Wolverines moved to 6-0 on the year. There were plenty of reactions on social media during and after the Wolverines crushing win. 

Will Johnson got things started. The sophomore had a pick six 12 seconds into the game.

After hitting Cornelius Johnson for a 49-yard reception, J.J. McCarthy runs it in for five yards. Michigan took a 24-3 lead after this run. 

'Cool Jim' was in full force here on the sidelines

Sophomore Mason Graham made his return to the field on Saturday. Graham was dominant and caused plenty of havoc in the backfield

After this sack, Graham rowed the boat -- like Minnesota likes to do. 

Michigan has scored over 30 points in nine straight games

Nothing but facts here. Kaliakmanis threw passes to Keon Sabb and Will Johnson for TDs. JJ could only manage one TD pass to Colston Loveland. 

The first time Michigan has had two pick-6s since 2017
