Greg McElroy explained why Michigan has what it takes to win a National Championship Thursday morning on Always College Football.
Why? Because of the step quarterback JJ McCarthy has taken from the beginning of the year after being named starter over Cade McNamara to where he is now.
McCarthy played very well against Ohio State and again in the B1G Championship win over Purdue. Michigan, as a result, is undefeated on the season and No. 2 behind only the 2022 national champions, Georgia.
“They have established a quarterback in JJ McCarthy who came on so strong at the end of the season, thought he played beautifully against Ohio State,” Klatt said.” (He) hit some big plays and kept them honest, also used his legs from time to time and I think the team now will be more competitive in a playoff situation because of the upside they now have at quarterback.”
It is worth noting that Michigan will have to face Heisman finalists in TCU’s Max Duggan and Ohio State’s CJ Stroud or Georgia’s Stetson Bennett to claim a National Title.
