Quarterback J.J. McCarthy of Michigan has become one of the most decorated signal-callers in college football history after just three years of playing. With the native of La Grange Park, Illinois, leading the charge against TCU in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl, the Wolverines had only lost once.
McCarthy is a national champion right now. He threw for between 140 and 148 yards in four of his final five games, so his numbers weren’t very impressive, but he still did more than enough to lead Michigan to the Promised Land.

McCarthy was greeted with cries of “one more year” from ecstatic Michigan supporters outside Schembechler Hall in Ann Arbour. Next year, the Wolverines will face one of the most challenging championship defences in college football history. Michigan’s upcoming opponents include USC, Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, and Washington in a rematch for the national championship.
Though there’s no better place to start, another season under McCarthy wouldn’t address every one of the Wolverines’ (certainly significant) upcoming problems on and off the pitch.
