Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore is facing a tough decision on who will start at quarterback for the defending national champions in their upcoming game against Fresno State. The battle is between junior Alex Orji and senior Davis Warren, both vying for the starting spot left vacant by last season’s standout J.J. McCarthy. Orji, known for his rushing ability, and Warren, a former walk-on with a fighting spirit, have been evenly splitting reps during training camp.
Off the field, Michigan received a notice of allegations from the NCAA related to a sign-stealing scandal involving a football staffer. Moore declined to comment on the matter, emphasizing the team’s focus on playing. Despite the distractions, Moore is preparing for his first official game as head coach and remains optimistic.
Michigan is ranked ninth in the nation, with a tough matchup against No. 4 Texas looming in the second week of the season. However, the Wolverines are not overlooking Fresno State, who had a successful season last year. Offensive lineman Giovanni El-Hadi acknowledges the target on the team’s back and the need to stay focused.
With uncertainty at quarterback, off-field distractions, and tough competition ahead, Moore and the Wolverines are ready to face the challenge head-on. The team is focused on their upcoming game against Fresno State and is determined to start the season on the right foot.
