Michigan football is the #1 team in the country and they are getting ready to face a surging Alabama football team in a few days. The Crimson Tide are ranked #4 in the country, and they will square off with the Wolverines in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. If Michigan is going to find a way to win, they will need their quarterback, JJ McCarthy, to be sharp, and Alabama knows that he is very talented.
There was a point earlier this season when JJ McCarthy was the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He didn’t end up winning it as Michigan football went for a more conservative rushing approach in the late stages of the season after McCarthy got banged up, but he is now healthy and one of the best QBs in the country. Alabama football star Terrion Arnold knows that, and he recently compared McCarthy to one of the NFL’s best QBs.
