yeah he's super talented, big dude with a big arm. can you blame him though, OSU QB room is loaded lol. He probably figured he'd be able to start at PSU right away. I think he'll eventually be starting there at PSU by the end of the year.
I get it, if it were me though I'd want to play for a bigger prize.

Michigan and Penn State defenses both top 5 in defensive stop rate...Michigan #2 at 83.3% and Penn State at #5 at 81.2%

Pate also brought up an interesting stat, when Sean Clifford attempts 35 or more passes in a game Penn State is 1-5. Key to this game should be for Michigan to try to get a lead fast and try to suffocate the Penn State run game and make Clifford throw it 35+ a game. Easier said then done- but that should be the game plan....make Clifford throw it a lot.


I would expect Sean Clifford to throw screens or a short route to their TE a lot.  And he's also going to do damage with his legs.  He's not fast but smart and patient.  Not as dangerous as Maryland's Tagovailoa, more like Iowa's Petras but with a much better arm and OL.

Allar was QB of my HS. He's been fun to watch, wish he had chosen to compete for NC's in Columbus instead of trying to be a spoiler as a Nittany Lion.
Depending on how the rest of the team develops around him he could come back to bite the Bucks.I followed Trubisky when he was at Mentor and he was great - can't keep them all unfotunately

If Pennz OL is half way decent that won't happen as their backs are good

I'm sure everyone probably hates this guy, but I actually like former OSU WR coach Zach Smith's college football podcast. He knows his sh&t and breaks things down pretty well if you ask me, and he's breaking down the B1G QBs here. 

Of the starting QB's in the B1G- JJ McCarthy is in 8th place in the B1G at completion % on deep balls- definitely not great- but dead last in the B1G at #14 is Sean Clifford- hitting only 17% of deep balls. JJ is the #1 QB in the B1G at intermediate throws (balls that travel in the air a distance of 10-19 yards) completing 75% of those passes- Clifford is 8th at just over 50%. Under pressure JJ McCarthy is the #1 QB in the B1G - with 75% completion under pressures- Clifford is 4th in the B1G- which is very good. JJ McCarthy is the #1 QB in the B1G against the blitz completing 79% of his passes when blitzed- Clifford is 10th at 57%. Allowed pressures = collection of player faults QB mistakes, OL whiffs, RB/TE missing chips- basically just = how many pressures on the QB an offense is allowing - JJ/Michigan is #2 in the B1G at 23 allowed pressures- Penn State/Clifford - 9th in the B1G at 40- and they've played 1 less game than Michigan.

yup. technically Urbs got himself fired. he went into coverup mode and lied on record to the media and then it all blew up in his face when it was discovered he had been lying. Urbs shouldn't have done that. Urbs got himself fired in the NFL too.

just wondered if it was the guy I was thinkin about

agreed Urbs got himself fired

but, it didn't seem to me that Zach had many brains in his head

but college football podcast doesn't take high levels of intelligence, so he might excel

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy wanted to let his critics know that at the end of the day, he doesn’t really care what they think about his play. He sees it, and knows some of it — like that from Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt — can be right from time to time, but McCarthy’s not in the business of letting Twitter be his coach.

With Fox broadcasting Michigan’s first three conference games and Gus Johnson and Klatt on the call, the former Colorado quarterback has taken a front-row seat to praise and prod McCarthy early on in his career as a starting quarterback. For weeks now, Klatt has pointed out McCarthy needs to put more air under deep balls, and the quarterback clearly heard him.

“It just comes with the job. And it’s one of those things where you can only focus on what you can control. And what your coaches are telling you and what you’re self-criticizing. And I promise you that I’m harder on myself than any critic out there is on me. It’s nothing, I really don’t pay too much attention to it,” McCarthy said of critiques to his game. “Actually, I’m thankful for it, because it’s guys like Joel Klatt that are pointing things that out that sometimes the coaches might miss on, so it’s just more information to grow and get better and I’m appreciative of that. I’m not going to get emotional with it, I’m just going to take the advice and I’m going to roll with it. If it works it works. If it doesn’t, then I won’t implement it.”

JJ seems like a mature beyond his years type of kid. Michigan's offense has not even begun to hit it's ceiling, feel like they are just scratching the surface still. Feels like the offense has been super vanilla and they have put a governor on it. It has yet to really blossom. They haven't really got the deep balls going, their fastest and best go-route WR Roman Wilson has been out a couple weeks with concussion protocol, their best TE Erick All has been out all season, and they just got RB Donovan Edwards back and they have yet to incorporate him into the passing game. JJ has still only started what- 4 or 5 games. He's got plenty of experience and growth ahead of him. It hasn't been much, but I have seen some criticism on the kid, which is astounding to me considering....

JJ McCarthy is the #1 QB in the B1G at intermediate throws (passes that travel an air distance of 10-19 yards) completing 75% of those passes.

Under pressure JJ McCarthy is the #1 QB in the B1G - with 75% completion when under pressures.

JJ McCarthy is the #1 QB in the B1G against the blitz completing 79% of his passes when blitzed.

JJ McCarthy leads the entire FBS with a completion % of 78.3%.

JJ McCarthy's TD-to-INT ratio of 9-1 is #1 in the B1G.

JJ McCarthy's ESPN QBR of 82.1 is #2 in the B1G behind only CJ Stroud.

Aside from some typical rookie mistakes that every young inexperienced player makes- and aside from only being 8th in the B1G on deep balls- which is a fair criticism and #8 in the B1G on deep balls is not great - the kid has been lights out. He's not perfect. No young QB is. The only guy close to perfect at QB in this conference right now is the dude at OSU. That's it. And even he isn't perfect.
