Jim Harbaugh crowns J.J. McCarthy a ‘legend’
McCarthy and his class made it their mission to take the program to new heights, and they’re on the verge. McCarthy showed incredible fortitude in overcoming a shaky start to make some huge throws, and he also got it going with his feet in the second half.
His three-yard touchdown to start the fourth quarter on which he put his head down and ran through a defender will go down as one of the memorable plays in the history of The Game.
“J.J. McCarthy could have been a guy like, ‘Hey, I’m J.J. McCarthy. I’m a five-star quarterback. I’m not here to hand the ball off,’” head coach Jim Harbaugh said. “Never. He’ll do anything for the team. He’ll run down the field and block for a running back 50 yards down the field.
“Now, he’s a legend.”
