"Thank You So Much" - J.J. McCarthy While Running All Over Nebraska

Michigan is not just beating Nebraska. Michigan is absolutely pummeling the ever-living shit out of Nebraska right now. This is the best football they’ve played all year. A huge reason for it is that Michigan is getting a push on the offensive line against what many people said was a really good Nebraska rush defense.

Much like every Michigan quarterback ever, J.J. McCarthy is very divisive. Every time this guy so much as throws in an incompletion, there’s a chorus of people clamoring that he’s overrated. J.J. McCarthy rules. Not only is he an exceptional talent, but he seems like such a wholesome guy. He knows what’s up. The offensive line protects you, and they make you look good. They deserve a "thank you" every now and then. They’ve been giving J.J. time to cook all game. 

This touchdown really exemplifies what it is about J.J. McCarthy that makes him different than any Michigan quarterback of recent memory. He has tremendous pocket awareness. If you get him out in the open space, the guy can make things happen. If this is the version of J.J. that opposing teams will get in the Big Ten season, Michigan will have a lot of fun.
