Michigan football starting quarterback vs Oregon? 'To be determined'

"You can't do major changes at this juncture, and so it will be collaborative," Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham said Monday, Nov. 9.

Michigan football starting quarterback vs Oregon? 'To be determined'

Michigan football's starting quarterback for the upcoming Oregon game remains undecided as the team grapples with the sudden departure of offensive coordinator Jason Beck. The coach, Kyle Whittingham, stated that major changes at this stage of the season are not feasible, instead proposing a collaborative approach to revamp the offense.

Jim Harding, promoted to interim offensive coordinator, has never been in charge of play-calling but has been with Whittingham for several years. Whittingham believes Harding to be the right fit to navigate the remaining three weeks of the season. Michigan's defense and special teams have also come under scrutiny, with the team actively communicating with recruits about the new direction.

Quarterback Tommy Carr's recent struggles against Michigan State have sparked debate about whether sophomore Bryce Underwood will start against Oregon, with Whittingham stating that they will reassess the situation before the game.
