Slumping Michigan has not named its starting quarterback for Saturday’s rivalry game with Michigan State.
Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore said a decision will be made based on this week’s practices.
“We’ll just see as we go this week,” said Moore, whose team has one touchdown and five turnovers on its last 15 possessions dating back to the second half of an Oct. 5 loss at Washington.
The defending national champions have started three different signal-callers through seven games. The Wolverines’ three losses match their total from the last three seasons combined.
Davis Warren started the first three games, followed by Alex Orji for three starts. Jack Tuttle made his first start in Saturday’s 21-7 setback at then-No. 22 Illinois.
The effort against the Fighting Illini marked the first time Michigan had failed to score in double-digit points since a shutout loss to Notre Dame in 2014.
Warren has completed 48 of 72 passes for 444 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions this season. Tuttle has thrown for 306 yards on 30-of-50 passing with one TD and two INTs. Orji has connected on 23 of 43 attempts for 148 yards with three TDs and one pick, while also rushing for 124 yards.
The Wolverines (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) host the Spartans (4-3, 2-2) on Saturday night in Ann Arbor.
