There was a dual-threat quarterback for Michigan in the 1980’s who beat Michigan State, beat Ohio State, and played with swagger. His name was Jim Harbaugh.
Now decades later Harbaugh is the head coach of Michigan and has a young quarterback in J.J. McCarthy who reminds Harbaugh of himself.
“Play your game. There’s nobody that loves that game more than I do,” Harbaugh said after Michigan’s 27-14 win over Maryland. “He’s better than me — but I mean, he reminds me of a young Jimmy Harbaugh.”
Harbaugh talked about how McCarthy’s mentality is to never give up on a play.
