Who Has the Edge in Michigan's Quarterback Battle?

Second-year Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh will go from enjoying a wrestling match to overseeing one this offseason—in the figurative sense, of course.

Such is life for college football's most active and visual coach. From the WWE to Quarterbacks 1, 2 and 3, Harbaugh once again has to choose a starting signal-caller, and the race is completely open.

OK, so it's not a seamless comparison. In fact, Harbaugh has a more appropriate analogy for Michigan's quarterback battle, which will begin in earnest at the start of spring practice on Feb. 29 in Bradenton, Florida.

"Cage match," Harbaugh said this month when asked to describe the upcoming competition, via Nick Baumgardner of MLive.
