“I just have to thank the man upstairs. I wasn’t supposed to be playing today [because of] injuries,” McCulloch said after the game via the league’s website. “But coach, he had faith in me and allowed me to come back out here with this team that we’ve been working with.”
Neither Carson Strong nor Josh Love had more than 80 passing yards in the game for the Panthers. However, Love had a touchdown pass to Joe Walker. Michigan’s Stevie Scott III ran for 66 yards.
