INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS 16 THE WOLVERINE OCTOBER 2022 BY THE NUMBERS 25% Completion percentage for UConn (5 of 20) in a 59-0 loss to Michigan Sept. 17, with that mark standing as the lowest the Wolverines have given up since Michigan State connected on just 25 percent (7 of 28) of its passes on Oct. 20, 2018, a 21-7 U-M triumph in East Lansing. 9:01 p.m. ET Is when Michi- gan's game against Hawai'i kicked off after a lightning delay of nearly an hour, marking the latest start to a game in The Big House his- tory. That surpassed the 8:31 p.m. ET kickoff for the Maize and Blue's 2017 matchup with Minnesota (also delayed). 10-2 Is Michigan's record in night games at The Big House, 10-1 with fans in the stands (the Wolver- ines lost to Wisconsin in 2020, when spectators weren't allowed to attend). The Maize and Blue dismantled Hawai'i 56-10 on Sept. 10 and are expected to have another home primetime tilt later this season. U-M is 41-28 in night games regardless of venue. 3 Michigan Wolverines rank in the top 100 in On3 NIL Valuation among college football players as of Sept. 13, led by senior cornerback D.J. TURNER, who's 76th at $414,000. Junior edge Jaylen Harrell slots 89th ($361,000) and junior running back Blake Corum stands 92nd ($356,000). Sophomore quarter- back J.J. McCarthy is just outside the top 100 at No. 105 ($337,000). The On3 NIL Valuation is the indus- try's leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. The On3 NIL Valuation calculates the optimized NIL opportunity for athletes relative to the overall NIL market and projects out to as long as 12 months into the future. He's going to be one of the greatest. As long as he keeps working, keeps his head down, I see some stuff in him that's like, 'Wow.' I think he's going to be a great player, and I think you guys can see. He works his tail off, good person. He's going to be great, man." — Junior running back Blake Corum on freshman position mate C.J. Stokes I like to go to the gym late night, 2 a.m. and stuff like that. That's my vibe. Actu- ally, it was Sunday night, I slept at the gym because we had morning practice at 7 a.m. So, I slept at the gym, first one there. I just fell in love with it, fell in love with the game. It's been fun." — Freshman point guard Dug McDaniel on the "Defend The Block" podcast There's a reason they were in the College Football Playoff last year and are No. 4 in the country right now. They're going to be good this year. They're going to give a lot of teams a handful. … They looked the part. They caused problems for us and they're going to cause prob- lems for a lot of teams. As good as they are, they're contenders." — Hawai'i head coach Timmy Chang after losing 56-10 to Michigan. PHOTO BY PER KJELDSEN PHOTO COURTESY MICHIGAN PHOTOGRAPHY
