J.J. McCarthy (once a tCun, always a tCun; Nine on the Pine)

How were his stats after the cheating broke compared to before? I think I know the answer but would like to see it.
So, I got a chance to look into this, myself:
In 2023, for the season, he was 240/332 (72.3%) for 2991 yards (9.01 ypa, 199.4 ypg), 22 td, 4 ints

September through the Indiana game (before):
111/142 (78.2%) for 1512 yards (10.65 ypa, 216.0 ypg), 14 td, 3 ints

Sparty through the end of the year (after):
129/190 (67.9%) for 1479 yards (7.78 ypa, 184.9 ypg), 8 td, 1 int

It is only fair to point out that the 7 games that make up the "before" data includes teams like East Carolina, UNLV, BGSU, Rutgers, and Indiana. The 8 teams that make up the "after" data includes teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Alabama, and Washington. But they had a span of 4 games (Penn State, Maryland, Ohio State, and Iowa) where McCarthy didn't get a total of 500 yards, combined. Is that what you do with a quarterback who you think should be a starting quarterback in the NFL? I mean - the cheaters won the games the best way they had - stop McCarthy from throwing the ball too much, because he wasn't who you wanted people to think he was.
