That was me.
An argument can be made for Penix too.
And Graham Mertz. ![86 :86:](https://www.cfb51.com/Smileys/fantasticsmileys/86.gif)
This is for you and Nubbz, who previously asked who was having better seasons than JJ and Marv. Because I can't resist.
Yards per attempt:#1 Jayden Daniels -- 11.5
#2 (T) Jalen Milroe -- 10.6 <-- did not see that coming
#2 (T) J.J. McCarthy --10.6
#4 Michael Penix -- 10.0
Passing yards per game:#1 Michael Penix -- 368.0
#2 Shedeur Sanders -- 345.7
#3 Jayden Daniels -- 321.6
As you might imagine, McCarthy is way down the second list because Michigan doesn't want or need him to pass a ton. Still, it's worth
something when a guy can deliver so much when he's asked.
Total offense:#1 Jayden Daniels -- 386.8
#2 Michael Penix -- 368.4
#3 Drake Maye -- 350.0
#4 Shedeur Sanders -- 342.4
#5 Dillon Gabriel -- 337.3
TD's responsible for:Jayden Daniels -- 30
Caleb Williams -- 30
J.J. McCarthy -- 21
Michael Penix -- 20
Receiving yards per game:#1 Malik Nabers -- 122.6
#7 Marvin Harrison Jr. -- 109.4
Receiving TDs:#4 (T) Malik Nabers -- 9
#17 (T) Marvin Harrison Jr. -- 6
ftr, no, Nabers is not better than Marv. But he is having the better season thus far.
What's crazy about Nabers' numbers is that he's splitting catches with Brian Thomas Jr., #1 in receiving TDs and #14 in receiving yards per game. Ohio State doesn't have anyone comparable to Marv's production. The fact Nabers and Thomas form probably the best duo points out that Daniels is unquestionably having a better season than McCarthy thus far, and
may be the better QB. Disparate schedules make for poor speculation.
