Interesting Detroit Free Press Sport page article

covered how UM thrilled with JJ McCarthy. Few big plays and very efficient. 75% completion highest in country, but yds per pass very low, with much of the yardage YAC. High time of possession. McCarthy strengths include run yards on 3rd for conversions. Very little stress over lack of big plays. The have a good positive TO margin, and a very large starting field position advantage.

They seem to be winning, and not sure what is wrong with this formula.

You win with it until you don't. Harbaugh is a very good coach and has won at every stop and level. As long as Michigan has a lead and can dictate tempo.....or never falls behind to a playoff quality team by more than 10 points, they'll be okay.
My only concern (if I were JH) would be falling behind by 14 in the second half and not having quick strike capability.

Just my .02, I think McCarthy will end up being a disappointment. As was suggested, he is a game manager. Harbaugh is smart and he is not going to entrust JJ with a bigger role. My selfish hope is Corrum leaves for NFL and they open up the offense next year. I suspect that will expose McCarthy's limitations as a downfield passer. He reminds me a little bit of former UM 5* QB Shea Patterson. They more they asked him to d the worse the results.
