Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy should receive consideration for an invitation to the Heisman Trophy ceremony with a strong showing in the Big Ten title game, says broadcaster Gus Johnson.
“You need to think about J.J. McCarthy,” said Johnson. “He’s coming off the game of his life in the biggest game of his life, and then he’s going to play in the Big Ten championship this weekend.” The opportunity to lead Michigan to a 13-0 season and produce another great game this Saturday against Purdue should give him a significant boost before the Heisman finalists are revealed on Dec. 5.
“If he has another incredible game and, say, Caleb Williams kind of falls off like C.J. Stroud did last week, J.J. McCarthy might sneak in there,” he said.
Prior to last Saturday, conventional wisdom said that if Michigan was to send someone to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, it would be running back Blake Corum. After he sustained a knee injury against Illinois and missed the majority of the Ohio State game, it was announced on Thursday he’s expected to undergo season-ending knee surgery.
