Friday Discussion: What does J.J. McCarthy have to do to win the starting job?

Michigan Wolverines sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy gets his first start tomorrow night against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. It is a moment of anticipation for many, as the youngster has the chance to make his case to be QB1 this season. While we got to see him a bit during the home opener, now’s the chance to see what he can do with extended time.

Perhaps the question on everyone’s mind is what we will be primarily discussing here. Obviously McCarthy is an exceedingly talented young quarterback who has an incredibly high ceiling, but what would it take for him to get the starting job outright?
