Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh interestingly made several religious citations during a press conference Monday to explain his reasoning behind picking the Wolverines’ starting quarterback.
Harbaugh decided to go with with Cade McNamara, who started at quarterback throughout last season, for this week’s opener against Colorado State. However, J.J. McCarthy will make his first career start for the Wolverines on Sept. 10 against Hawai’i in the second game of the season. Harbaugh said both quarterbacks will see time in both games, and possibly longer.
But the way Harbaugh justified the decision was unusual.
