Of course, these two players are JJ McCarthy and Blake Corum.
ย ย McCarthy, who was also named Big Ten quarterback of the year, lived up to the hype he received as a five-star recruit. In two seasons as a starter, the junior halfback went a perfect 25-0 in regular season games, including a 2-0 record against Ohio State, a 2-0 record against Penn State, a 2-0 record against Michigan State.
ย ย As a starting pitcher, McCarthy also helped provide Ann Arbor with two Big Ten championships. There’s no word on the talented QB returning for his senior season, but there’s no question he’s established himself as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play at the University of Michigan. In his final season at Michigan, Blake Corum was ninth in Heisman voting. With at least one game remaining as a Wolverine, Corum is the single-season record holder with 22 touchdowns and is one game away from taking the all-time spot for touchdowns. .
ย ย Regardless of how the rest of the season plays out, Corum has established himself as the best running back to wear the cap.
