Jim Harbaugh Avoids Naming Starting QB But Hints It May Be Joe Milton

Jim Harbaugh still hasn't named a starting quarterback ahead of the season's opener, but he's keeping an eye on Joe Milton.

"Joe's been running with the 1s and really, he's made a lot of strides, getting a lot of reps, as well as Cade McNamara, who's closed all gaps, as well," Harbaugh told reporters on Monday, per 247 Sports. "He's playing extremely well."

Milton is expected to be named the Wolverines' starter over redshirt freshman Cade McNamara ahead of Saturday's game against Minnesota. Milton, a junior, played behind Shea Patterson the past two seasons and tallied 117 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in seven games.
