J.J. McCarthy - Plays modest role again McCarthy was 12-for-23 passing for 141 yards and one interception during Saturday's 31-24 victory against Maryland. Impact McCarthy looked like he was being capped as a passer by Michigan's play calling, as the team logged nearly twice as many rushing attempts as passing attempts. He also logged season lows in completion percentage (52.2) and yards per attempt (6.1). The junior quarterback has now attempted just 31 passes over the past two weeks, totaling 201 yards through the air over this span. McCarthy has not scored a touchdown over the last three contests, which doesn't provide much optimism for his production during the upcoming regular-season finale against Ohio State. It will also be worth closely monitoring the status of Michigan's No. 1 wideout Roman Wilson, who did not return after suffering an undisclosed injury in the first half, as he has caught 10 of McCarthy's 18 passing touchdowns this season.
