J.J. McCarthy: Michigan must take Purdue seriously

Purdue has four losses on the season, but don’t let that record fool you, Purdue can get things done.

“It’s just not going to be a team that’s 8-4,” Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy told the media on Tuesday.

Purdue has done a great job of playing spoiler during the Jeff Brohm era, with wins over top five teams such as No. 2 Ohio State in 2018, along with No. 2 Iowa and No. 3 Michigan State last year. Now they have a tilt with No. 2 Michigan in the Big Ten Championship Game.
