On January 8 th , Michigan reached its peak level of success and joy. Now in mid-September all of that is quickly becoming a distant memory as the reality of the 2024 season is hitting the Wolverines hard.
And the reality is that Michigan constructed a roster that doesn’t have a viable quarterback option. Somehow the Wolverines believed that Davis Warren and were the answer. The same Warren and Orji who had combined to complete 6 of 15 passes for 94 yards, no touchdowns and one interception during their time in Ann Arbor.

For some unknown reason it was decided that this duo was good enough to lead Michigan’s offense, nine months after the Wolverines won the National Championship. And this issue was magnified further on Saturday during a 28-18 victory over Arkansas State. A week after getting drilled at home by Texas, Warren did nothing to inspire hope by completing 11 of 14 passes for 122 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. He was later replaced by Orji, who completed 2 of 4 passes for 12 yards and one touchdown.
