Michigan Wolverines will stick with J.J. McCarthy as its starting quarterback next week against UConn Huskies and most likely beyond, as the sophomore is positioned to lead the offense this season.
McCarthy, making his first career start Saturday against Hawai'i, completed 11 of 12 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns in a 56-10 win. He gained 16 yards on his only rush and led touchdown drives on five of Michigan's first six possessions.
Coach Jim Harbaugh last month decided that Cade McNamara, the team's returning starter, would start the opener against Colorado State, and McCarthy would get the nod against Hawai'i.
