Freshman QB Shane Morris to start bowl game

Michigan true freshman QB Shane Morris will start at QB for The Wolverines vs. Kansas State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Saturday.

Starting QB Devin Gardner will not play due to a severe turf toe injury suffered against Ohio State.

Insiders have told me that Michigan will run a dumbed down version of the playbook, focusing on I-formation runs, play action roll outs and the occasional shotgun formation for deep passes.

Walk-on RS freshman Brian Cleary will back up Morris.
