Nearly a year after Michigan’s 34-11 loss to Georgia in the 2021 College Football Playoff semifinal, Wolverines quarterback JJ McCarthy said that he still remembers the “deep pit of regret” he felt in his stomach after the defeat, but he reflected on how the loss has served to fuel their 13-0 season and return to the playoff.<\/p>\n
“It was shared suffering for sure,” McCarthy said Tuesday, speaking ahead of Michigan’s semifinal matchup against TCU. “It jump-started the whole offseason. We hit it really hard right away … we’re still riding that now.”<\/p>\n
McCarthy said last year became a benchmark for Michigan this season, one they didn’t just want to meet, but rather overcome. They knew they could beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten, so they did it again, and now they want to prove they can win a playoff game, too.<\/p>\n
