Early in his Michigan career, the stories go, he injured receivers with passes zipped in at warp speed. Eighty- five yards, allegedly, is his maximum throwing distance. Giles Jackson has one of those stories too, as told in a Zoom call with reporters Thursday. “In pr...…

Michigan (1-2) won just o...…
