The decision by Ohio State's coach, Ryan Day, to choose Kyle McCord over J.J. McCarthy in recruiting has been costly. McCarthy, now playing for Michigan, has won three straight games in the rivalry. Day, known for developing QBs, has to live with his evaluation error. The impact of this decision is highlighted in a column by @AriWasserman. Additionally, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz praised Michigan's high level of play and impressive football team. Michigan's QB, J.J. McCarthy, acknowledged Iowa's well-coached and disciplined defense, expressing excitement to face former teammates Cade McNamara and Erick All despite their injuries.

Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy, like many of his teammates, figured they'd face Iowa and Michigan transfers Cade McNamara/Erick All in the title game. Unfortunately, both Hawkeyes tore ACLs. McCarthy: "Two great guys, it’ll be awesome to be on the same field with them again."
Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy on Iowa's defense: “Coach Ferentz does a great job of making sure they’re well-coached and in the right spots every time. That’s what is so good about Iowa’s defense, is their discipline. ... They don’t do a lot, but they do it really, really well.”
In 2021 vs. Michigan, a halfback pass to Monte Pottebaum barely fell incomplete on Iowa's first drive. Then Caleb Shudak missed a short field goal. This year? "We’ve got to make everything count," Kirk Ferentz said. Highlights from KF/Harbaugh today. https://t.co/sbFhQEI7Cr
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz on Michigan: "The last three years they've played at such a high level, they've been very, very impressive. It's no coincidence that they've been in the College Football Playoff the last two years. They're just a very, very impressive football team."
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, asked about the signal-stealing issue at Michigan, says the technology is there to eliminate it: "We could have fixed this probably a decade ago. It's like a lot of things have happened in the NCAA and college football, we're a really slow-moving train."
