Michigan is about a handful of practices into preseason camp, and the quarterback competition is humming along, with Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy both improved, according to their position coach.
McNamara led Michigan to a 12-2 record last season, including a win over Ohio State and the program’s first Big Ten championship since 2004. McCarthy, a sophomore, was his backup last season and often was utilized in packages that took advantage of his mobility.
This competition was delayed when McCarthy was held out of throwing during spring practice because of an injury to his right (throwing) shoulder that required rest. McCarthy is healthy now, and McNamara has the confidence from leading the team last season.
