It wasn’t an easy day to throw the football in New Jersey, with winds over 30 MPH gusting and swirling.
But by the end of the game, Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson was 18-of-27 for 260 yards and 3 touchdowns.
With rough conditions for a quarterback to throw in, Patterson had to be fundamentally sound.
He was.
Patterson’s footwork was excellent, as was how he’d torque his upper-body to add the extra mustard necessary on deep balls. His body was in sync, his mechanics were on point, and he was rifling footballs from the pocket and while throwing on the run.
