Where Michigan’s backup QB competition currently stands

Michigan has a quarterback room in which has a bonafide starter along with multiple players vying for the backup QB spot.

When McCarthy exited the game against East Carolina in the second half with Michigan up 30-0, Davis Warren was the next man up in relief of McCarthy. However, that’ll be different in Week 2 against UNLV, head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Indiana transfer Jack Tuttle will be the first man in after McCarthy this week. Further, Harbaugh said Michigan considers Jayden Denegal and Alex Orji “right there in the mix”.

With the remaining non-conference schedule consisting of UNLV and Bowling Green, there’s a strong possibility Michigan can work more than just McCarthy, Warren and Tuttle into the games.
