Michigan fans booed Cade McNamara as he walked onto the field in the second half against Hawai’i Saturday.
The game was all but over. Michigan led 42-0 coming out of halftime and decided to give their starter a break. Head coach Jim Harbaugh made it official and announced JJ McCarthy as the starter in the postgame press conference.
Harbaugh said Monday that he sees having 2 good quarterbacks as an advantage and hopes the fans will learn that reality sooner rather than later.
Jim Harbaugh on the booing at Michigan Stadium: “It’s a big edge for our team to have two really good quarterbacks.”
He said the coaches and team see it as an advantage. He’d hope fans would too.

It’s pretty surprising that Harbaugh isn’t more upset about this, publicly at least. McNamara beat Ohio State and earned the Wolverines a B1G championship last year. Regardless of whether McCarthy is the more talented quarterback, booing a player of that caliber is simply foolish.
