ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that "it's likely" that redshirt freshman Brandon Peters will get his first collegiate start at quarterback Saturday night against Minnesota.
Peters replaced fifth-year senior John O'Korn during the second quarter of a 35-14 victory over Rutgers. Peters led the Wolverine offense to touchdowns on his first three drives in what amounted to his first significant playing time as a college quarterback. He finished the game 10-of-14 passing for 124 yards and a touchdown.
Harbaugh said he wasn't ready to name a starter this early in the week, but he was happy with the way Peters played against Rutgers.
