A legitimate quarterback battle between Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy is fast approaching

The biggest topic of discussion for any football team usually revolves around the quarterback position, and Michigan has two good ones vying for the starting job.

At Big Ten Media Days Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh made it clear there will be a competition and that he has faith in both Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy.

McCarthy will be back to full strength for training camp after being sidelined throughout spring ball due to lingering arm soreness, and McNamara, well, he’s coming off a season where he was the starter for a Michigan team that beat Ohio State and won a Big Ten Championship on their way to a College Football Playoff berth.
