To open the season, Michigan played against East Carolina. Before a crowd of 109,480 at Michigan Stadium, the Wolverines defeated the Pirates, 30–3.[20] It was the first meeting between the two programs. The game began with back-to-back three-and-outs as neither team had success on their initial possessions. On East Carolina's second possession, Michigan intercepted a Mason Garcia pass at the Michigan 46-yard line. The Wolverines then drove 57 yards, scoring on a 14-yard touchdown pass from J. J. McCarthy to Roman Wilson. On Michigan's next drive, the Wolverines drove 90 yards on seven plays, including a 37-yard run by Blake Corum followed by a two-yard touchdown run by Corum. On the Wolverines fourth possession, they drove 76 yards on seven plays and scored on a 10-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Wilson and James Turner missed the extra point. On their final possession of the half, Michigan drove 42 yards on 10 plays, with Turner kicking a 50-yard field goal on the final play of the half. Michigan led, 23–0, at halftime.[21]

After the second-half kickoff, Michigan drove 75 yards on 12 plays, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Wilson – the third touchdown pass and catch of the game for the pair. On its next possession, Michigan drove 79 yards on 12 plays but were stopped short of the goal line. On the opening drive of the fourth quarter, Davis Warren took over at quarterback for Michigan; the Wolverines began the drive at the East Carolina 38-yard line, gained only four yards, and James Turner missed a 52-yard field goal attempt. Andrew Conrad kicked a 33-yard field goal for East Carolina as time ran out.[21]

Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter served as acting head coach for the game and was credited with the victory, as Jim Harbaugh was serving a three-game suspension. Quarterback J. J. McCarthy recorded his best career passing game at home (280 yards, three touchdowns). McCarthy's 86.7% completion percentage (26-for-30) ranks second-highest in program history, behind Elvis Grbac's 90.9% (20-for-22) against Notre Dame on September 14, 1991.[22]

Following its opening game against East Carolina, Michigan hosted the UNLV, winning 35–7, before a crowd of 109,482 at Michigan Stadium.[23] As a result of the university's three-game suspension of Jim Harbaugh, special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh served as acting head coach in the first half, while running backs coach Mike Hart was the acting head coach in the second half. Hart became the first African American to serve in the role of head football coach at Michigan.[24]

On the game's opening drive, UNLV drove 19 yards before punting. On the Wolverines' first possession, they drove 80 yards on nine plays, as J. J. McCarthy completed passes to Blake Corum for 20 yards, Tyler Morris for 16 yards, Roman Wilson for 25 yards, and Cornelius Johnson for six yards, and Corum scored on a three-yard run. Michigan's defense then held UNLV to a three-and-out. On their second possession, the Wolverines drove 75 yards on 11 plays, including McCarthy's passes to Tyler Morris for 15 yard and AJ Barner for 12 yards. McCarthy then ran 17 yards to UNLV's two-yard line, and Corum scored on a two-yard run on the first play of the second quarter.[25][26]

UNLV was limited to five yards and a punt on its first drive of the second quarter. Michigan then drove 42 yards to UNLV's 18-yard line, but Corum's run on fourth-and-two failed to gain the necessary yardage. UNLV then drove 25 yards on seven plays but was forced to punt. On its second drive of the second quarter (fourth of the game), Michigan drove 83 yards on 19 plays, including passes to Cornelius Johnson for 18 yards, Donovan Edwards for 15 yards, and Roman Wilson for 13 yards and a touchdown. Michigan led, 21–0, at halftime.[25][26]

On the opening drive of the second half, McCarthy completed a touchdown pass to Roman Wilson covering 47 yards.[25] As he completed the 47-yards pass to Wilson, McCarthy wore the number 47 on his hand in tribute to high-school teammate and former UNLV player Ryan Keeler who died of a heart arrhythmia in February 2023.[27] UNLV responded with a seven-play, 42-yard drive to Michigan's 33-yard line, but the drive ended with a turnover on downs. The teams then exchange three-and-outs. Michigan then drove 76 yards on four plays, including a 19-yard run by Corum and a 26-yard pass completion from McCarthy to Johnnon; Corum scored on a five-yard run, and Michigan led 35–0, at the end of the third quarter.[25][26]

In the fourth quarter, Davis Warren took over at quarterback for Michigan. Warren threw an interception on his second pass, and UNLV took over at its own 23-yard line. UNLV drove 37 yards but was unable to convert on fourth-and-three at Michigan's 40-yard line. Jack Tuttle took over as Michigan's quarterback, but was knocked out of the game on a late hit out of bounds. Jayden Donegal took over at quarterback, and Michigan was held to a three-and-out. UNLV then drove 81 yards on nine plays, scoring on a 20-yard touchdown run by Jordan Younge-Humphrey.[25][26]

Through two games, J. J. McCarthy has completed 48 of 55 pass attempts for an 87.2% completion percentage.[28] Running back Blake Corum posted 15 carries for 80 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns, for his 11th career multi-touchdown game.[29]

On September 16, Michigan defeated Bowling Green, 31–6, before a crowd of 109,955 at Michigan Stadium.[30] It was the final game of Jim Harbaugh's three-game suspension with offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore serving as acting head coach.

After holding Bowling Green to a three-and-out, Blake Corum ran for a 54-yard gain on Michigan's first offensive play. Corum scored three plays later on a four-yard run, capping a 77-yard drive. Bowling Green was held to another three-and-out on its second possession. On Michigan's second possession, the Wolverines drove 38 yards to Bowling Green's five-yard line, but the Falcons intercepted a J. J. McCarthy pass in the end zone. It was McCarthy's first interception of the season. Michigan led, 7–0, at the end of the first quarter.[32][31][33]

Following McCarthy's interception, Bowling Green drove 62 yards on 12 plays, ending early in the second quarter with a 36-yard field goal by Alan Anaya. Michigan tight end Max Bredeson fumbled a short kickoff, and Anaya kicked a second field goal (a 42-yarder) to cut Michigan's lead to 7–6. McCarthy threw his second interception on Michigan's next possession. The Wolverines got the ball back with 6:51 remaining in the half and drove 62 yards on five plays, culminating with a 33-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Roman Wilson. Despite giving up three turnovers, Michigan led, 14–6, at halftime.[32][31][33]

In the third quarter, Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins intercepted Hayden Timosciek's pass inside the Bowling Green 10-yard line, setting up Michigan's third touchdown on a two-yard run by Corum. Michigan forced another turnover on Bowling Green's next possession, as defensive end Jaylen Harrell stripped the ball from the hands of Bowling Green's Camden Orth, and Michael Barrett recovered the loose ball inside Bowling Green's 30-yard line. Michigan capitalized on the turnover with a 42-yard field goal by James Turner. On Michigan's next possession, the Wolverines executed a flea-flicker as McCarthy threw a 50-yard pass to Cornelius Johnson; the ball was tipped and juggled but Johnson held on for the touchdown. With less than a minute remaining in the third quarter, McCarthy threw his third interception of the game. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.[32][31][33]

Corum rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries, his first 100-yard rushing game of the 2023 season. In his worst game of the season, McCarthy completed eight of 13 passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.[34]

Michigan was again held to a three-and-out and, following the punt, Indiana drove 77 yards and scored on a trick play with quarterback Brendan Sorsby throwing a backward pass to wide receiver Donovan McCulley (a converted quarterback) who then threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Jaylin Lucas. Indiana led, 7–0, at the end of the first quarter. Michigan allowed three sacks and was outgained, 141 yards to 17 yards, in the first quarter.[50][51]

Michigan then scored 52 unanswered points on their next eight possessions. On the opening possession of the second quarter, Michigan drove 77 yards on 11 plays, culminating with a one-yard touchdown run by Blake Corum. On their next possession, the Wolverines drove 87 yards on 11 plays, including pass completions from J. J. McCarthy to Tyler Morris for 14 and 23 yards and AJ Barner for 18 yards, and ending with a two-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Roman Wilson. In the final 1:40 of the first half, Michigan drove 46 yards on six plays, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run by Corum with 11 seconds remaining in the half. Michigan led, 21–7, at halftime.[50][51]

On the opening kickoff of the second half, Semaj Morgan returned the ball to the 35-yard line. The Wolverines scored as McCarthy rolled out to the right and connected with Colston Loveland for a 54-yard touchdown pass. Michigan's defense held Indiana to three-and-out and negative 13 yards on a sack by Jaylen Harrell at the Indiana 11-yard line. Michigan then drove 52 yards on five plays, including a 22 yard run by McCarthy and a seven-yard touchdown pass from McCarthy to Semaj Morgan. On Indiana's ensuing possession, Michael Barrett sacked Tayven Jackson, forced a fumble, and recovered the ball at Indiana's 15-yard line. James Turner kicked a 28-yard field goal, and Michigan led, 38–7, at the end of the third quarter.[50] [51]

After a fumble by Indiana quarterback Sorsby, Mason Graham recovered the loose ball in the final minute of third quarter. Jack Tuttle took over at quarterback for Michigan and led the team on a 51-yard drive ending with a two-yard touchdown run by Donovan Edwards. After the touchdown, Keon Sabb intercepted an Indiana pass and returned it 28 yards to the Indiana 36-yard line. The Wolverines scored their final points on a four-yard touchdown pass from Tuttle to Karmello English.[50][51]

McCarthy led the team on offense, completing 14 of 17 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns. With 13 carries for 52 yards and two touchdowns, Corum became the tenth player in Michigan history to reach 3,000 career rushing yards and passed Mike Hart and Denard Robinson for third-most career rushing touchdowns (43) in program history. On defense, the Wolverines tallied four turnovers on two fumble recoveries and two interceptions.[52]

The win was Michigan's 19th consecutive Big Ten victory, tying the program record set from 1990 to 1992.[52] Michigan became the third team since 2000 to start the season 7–0 while winning every game by 24-plus points, following Ohio State in 2019 and Stanford in 2011.[53]
