The matchup of QBs Max Duggan and J.J. McCarthy is just one factor that will determine TCU vs. Michigan in this College Football Playoff semifinal.
In this case, a clean game doesn't necessarily mean just avoiding turnovers, something McCarthy does extremely well. He's tossed just three interceptions in 288 attempts, with just one coming since the Wolverines' win on Oct. 15 against Penn State. Only four quarterbacks have 20 or more touchdowns and fewer than four interceptions: McCarthy, Tennessee's Hendon Hooker, Coastal Carolina's Grayson McCall and Fresno State's Jake Haener.
Instead of focusing on turnovers, TCU can try to fluster McCarthy with pressure and slow down Michigan's passing attack. There are examples of Big Ten defenses successfully taking him out of his comfort zone, including a run of mediocre performances in November against Rutgers, Nebraska and Illinois.
