JJ McCarthy wants to bring a national title back to Ann Arbor among other goals

Michigan football is 66 days away from kicking off its 2023 season — a season in which the Maize and Blue are expected to make a push for another Big Ten title and a national championship. For quarterback JJ McCarthy, this season must be a big one; with a year of starting experience under his belt, McCarthy’s junior season is poised to be one of the best that a Michigan quarterback has had in quite some time.

Recently, McCarthy explained that he wants to bring a title back to Ann Arbor during an interview with ESPN.

“That’s my ultimate goal,” JJ McCarthy said on Tuesday. “I have a lot of goals, we have a lot of goals, but it’s to bring a national championship to Ann Arbor. We’re just so close.”

After appearing in the College Football Playoff twice in a row, the Wolverines can taste their first-ever national title game appearance. Michigan football fell just short in 2022, losing by 6 points in the CFP semifinal game against TCU, which was McCarthy’s first playoff game as the Wolverines’ starter. This fall, fueled by a burning passion to claim a title for the Maize and Blue, JJ McCarthy and the Wolverines have set lofty goals.

“My 1A goal is bring a national championship to Ann Arbor; 1B is to never lose to [Ohio State],” McCarthy said. “That will mean a lot to me. From the guys that play scout team to the guys that are touching the ball every play, we have to be our best at all times. That’s not always going to look pretty, but we just got to keep pushing, keep pushing and growing in every aspect, and we’ll be where we want to be by Nov. 25.”

Heading into the 2023 season, JJ McCarthy is looking to keep the Wolverines’ impressive winning ways going. Since arriving in Ann Arbor, McCarthy has known nothing but success — his teams have won two Big Ten titles, beaten Ohio State twice, and appeared in the College Football Playoff twice. Still, Michigan’s top goal has eluded them thus far — winning a national title — making this season essential for the Maize and Blue.
