He’s still a quarterback that can run. Don’t know if you recall the iron bowl but they kind of ran all over us a week after NMSU took them to the woodshed. Daniels ran all over us, and those are really the only two mobile quarterbacks we’ve seen. McCarthy is a mobile QB. I think we win the game, but his legs present an issue that has troubled this defense really for two decades.

They don’t do as much lateral or eye candy stuff as Auburn, but it’s going to be important that remain gap sound because there will be some QB power and read option stuff from Michigan in Pasadena in addition to the scrambles

I think an ace in the hole is that the closest backup QB in the country to JJM, stylistically, is probably Ty Simpson. Big arm, similar frame, and a lot faster than his melanin would suggest. We should get a great look at what he brings to the table

Thorne had some big runs on breakdowns, but he isn't exactly a mobile QB. AU ran on us with well executed miss-direction/eye candy plays.

Daniels ran and passed all over pretty much everyone this year save their first game of the season.

Jaxson Dart is a mobile QB that we did well against.
