Quarterback J.J. McCarthy was highly efficient and showed off his arm talent and athleticism during Michigan’s 45-7 win over Nebraska.

McCarthy was 12-of-16 for 156 yards with two passing touchdowns and also had a 21-yard rushing touchdown. His ability to keep defenses on their toes with his arm and his legs has made Michigan’s offense the most dynamic it's been during the Jim Harbaugh era.

At his postgame news conference, Harbaugh evaluated McCarthy’s day performance and noted he made “big-time throws”.

“J.J., he makes it go,” Harbaugh said.

McCarthy continue to add to his highlight reel with NFL-caliber throws that showcase his elite arm talent as well as plays scrambling that most quarterbacks can’t make.
