- It was rare for a casual fan to watch a game and think, "That J.J. McCarthy is the straw that stirs this drink." For one, that's a pretty weird thing to think in general. But more specifically, McCarthy's magic almost never showed up in obvious ways. For example, McCarthy had just eight career games against Power 5 opponents where he threw multiple TDs and no interceptions. Six of them came against Michigan State, Indiana, Nebraska (twice), Rutgers and Maryland. Not exactly a murderer's row. But the other two? Ohio State and Alabama. In fact, McCarthy made eight career starts against top-10 teams. He posted a Total QBR better than 90 in half of them.
