J.J. McCarthy - Gets it done in The Game McCarthy was 16-for-20 passing for 148 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-24 win versus Ohio State. Impact McCarthy won against Ohio State for the second time in as many years. While he did not put up nearly as many passing yards (263) as he did in 2022, the junior signal-caller logged a much cleaner all-around stat line Saturday, completing 30 percent more of his passes while still throwing for 7.4 YPA. He also tossed one of his best touchdown passes of the season when he threaded a ball past two defenders directly into the hands of wideout Roman Wilson for a 22-yard score in the second quarter. McCarthy's performance in this tight rivalry matchup against one of the nation's best defenses should provide encouragement for his outlook heading into next Saturday's Big Ten Championship versus an offensively-challenged opponent in Iowa.
