No, I’m talking about the kind of pressure that a good defense exerts, the kind of pressure that Penn State excels in applying, the kind of pressure that collapses pockets and flushes quarterbacks and thumps them into the turf.
McCarthy hasn’t felt that yet this season. This Saturday at Michigan Stadium, he’ll get his chance. He’s counting down the minutes.
