Jim Harbaugh discusses 'titanic' performance from JJ McCarthy, reflects on Michigan's 2022 season
Jim Harbaugh commented on the 2022 season and praised his QB after a Fiesta Bowl loss to TCU.
Harbaugh, when asked about the 2022 season, classified it as ” a great season that ends one week early.” Harbaugh then turned the focus on his QB, saying that McCarthy had a “titanic performance.”
Important to note, Harbaugh was referring to the dictionary definition of the word, not referencing the boat. Unfortunately, with the way the Fiesta Bowl ended, it was a devastating blow for the Wolverines.

Jim Harbaugh said JJ McCarthy had a “titanic” performance.
“Tremendous competitor. Just phenomenal. His first season as a starter, I don’t think there’s anybody that’s done what he did.”

McCarthy did have an impressive season, ending the regular season with 2,376 yards, 20 TDs, and 3 INTs. In the Fiesta Bowl, McCarthy went 20-of-34 for 343 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. McCarthy also contributed 52 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD.
The Wolverines end the season with a 13-1 record but ultimately fall short of their goal of winning a national championship for the 1st time since 1997.
