McCarthy was excellent throughout his three-year Michigan career. McCarthy had a 27-1 record as a starter including two Big Ten Championship victories, a Rose Bowl win, and a national championship. McCarthy had a career completion percentage of 68 with 6,226 yards passing, 49 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions along with 632 rushing yards and 10 rushing scores.
We expect McCarthy to keep doing what he was doing at Michigan — winning.
