Inside the Numbers: Evaluating the ceilings of Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy

Michigan is 7-0, they’re the No. 6 team in the nation, and they’re about to have a huge game in East Lansing against 7-0 No. 8 Michigan State.

Michigan is coming off a 33-7 win over Northwestern, a game where quarterback Cade McNamara didn’t have to carry the team on his shoulders due to the rushing success of Hassan Haskins (110 yards, 2 touchdowns) and Blake Corum (118 yards, 2 touchdowns).

After the game Jim Harbaugh said he was pleased with McNamara’s performance, Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald said that McNamara doesn’t get enough credit and takes what the defense gives him.
