Harbaugh talks backup QB competition: Joe Milton has a shot
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsThe Michigan Wolverines will be without backup QB Dylan McCaffrey for awhile, as he suffered a broken collarbone versus Penn State.
“We’ll see this week,” Harbaugh said. “Brandon (Peters) and Joe (Milton) will be competing for that spot.”
Harbaugh was asked if he’d factor in preserving Milton’s redshirt status in regards to the backup spot, saying he thinks they can preserve it. Milton has played in one game, he can play in three more before burning his redshirt status.
“I think we’re on schedule for that, he’s participated in one game, so he’s eligible to play in three more games and still have a redshirt.”
