Both Michigan and USC had years to plan for their star quarterback's NFL exit. Only one executed the plan.
Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore enters Saturday's game USC with a problem that big-time programs shouldn't have.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two blue bloods stroll into The Big House this Saturday with green quarterbacks and yellow-ish logos. But only one is on red alert.
The Wolverines lost talent across their roster last offseason, but the defense is still holding opponents under 20 points per game . Their running backs are still gaining five yards per carry . Even junior kicker Dominic Zvada, who’s made five kicks in as many attempts, including three longer than 50 yards, is pulling his weight.
Look around: The Trojans replaced Williams with Miller Moss, who has completed 72.7% of his passes for 607 yards and two touchdowns through two games entering Saturday’s matchup. Texas is replacing injured quarterback Quinn Ewers this week with five-star backup Arch Manning, who threw four touchdowns in relief of Ewers last week.
Orji arrived on campus the same year as Warren with more pedigree — on scholarship while Warren joined as a walk-on — which should’ve given Orji a better chance to win the job this offseason. But either Orji looked worse in camp than Warren has in games, or Michigan picked the wrong quarterback. Either way, the outcome reflects poorly on UM’s ongoing quarterback process .
