ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Matt Leinart knows a little something about the quarterback position. As a former Heisman Trophy winner at USC, the Fox Sports analyst is well-versed in the art of passing the football.
The past three weeks, Leinart has gotten to see first-year starter J.J. McCarthy, the former five-star who’s now in his sophomore season, up close and personal, and while Michigan hasn’t had to open up the playbook just yet, he’s like what he’s seen.
On Friday, we sat down with Leinart for an exclusive interview, where he discussed Michigan football as a whole, the rise of the defense, as well as how he evaluates McCarthy and the offense with six games in the books. Here is everything he said.
