​ANN ARBOR — Michigan sophomore receiver Andrew Marsh led the team in receiving last year, but through the first two games this season, he was not much of a factor.That was something head coach Kyle Whittingham said had to change, and so it did in the Wolverines’ 52-17 win over UTEP on Saturday, Sept. 19, at Michigan Stadium in their final nonconference game. Marsh was targeted a dozen times and finished with a game-high 105 yards on 10 catches, including a 34-yard touchdown reception with 1:18 left in the third quarter.“We had more of a game planning concerted effort to get Andrew the ball because we hadn’t gotten the ball enough in the first two games,” Whittingham said. “We understood that and needed that to change. He’s a guy that is one of the better receivers in the Big Ten, and we got to utilize him, and I think we did a good job of that.”Before Marsh’s breakout performance against the Miners, he had five catches for 28 through the first two games.In the second quarter, Marsh made a twisting one-handed catch on third down and was able to come down with his left toes inside the sideline before momentum took him out of bounds. That kept the Wolverines’ first scoring drive alive as Savion Hiter scored to tie the game at 7.“I caught it (and) I really knew I was in bounds, but then they kind of signaled that it wasn’t a catch, so I was kind of unsure,” Marsh said. “But then I seen the replay and kind of confirmed what I was thinking. I would say just practice awareness, knowing where you’re at, and getting the feet down (explain the play).”Michigan was 2 of 2 on fourth down, and quarterback Bryce Underwood and Marsh connected on the first during the final scoring drive of the first half. That conversion led to Trey Butkowski’s 49-yard field goal that gave the Wolverines a 17-14 halftime lead.This was a pivotal game for Underwood to establish confidence in the pass game and for Marsh to become a much larger player in the game plan.“He really just told me keep going, he was gonna find me,” Marsh said of an in-game conversation with Underwood. “It was a few shots that we kind of wish we connected on more early in the first half and stuff like that. He was kind of just telling me just to stay the course, ball’s gonna come and we’ll make some more plays.”More: Niyo: Wolverines know it’ll take more as Big Ten reality awaitsMichigan injury updatesMichigan was without starting right tackle Andrew Sprague and had to reconfigure its offensive line for the third time this season. Left tackle Blake Frazier moved to right tackle, while Evan Link, who missed last week’s game against Oklahoma because of injury, started at left tackle. He played left guard in the opener.Sprague was a late scratch for the Wolverines.“We sure hope to have him back soon,” Whittingham said. “It was a weird deal and was within the last literally 24 hours. I won’t elaborate on it, but it completely caught us off-guard because he took every re
