Sherrone Moore went back to the drawing board once again, reevaluating the state of the Michigan football offense after losing to Illinois, 21-7. But with a potentially season-rectifying rivalry game against Michigan State on Saturday night, Moore is potentially pulling the plug on the short-lived Jack Tuttle experiment and going back to where he started.
According to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Michigan is poised to give the starting quarterback job back to Davis Warren, who started the first three games of the season before his turnover issues caused Moore to change to Alex Orji under center. It is worth noting that in his last game as a starter, Warren went 11-for-14, with his only three incompletions being interceptions against Arkansas State.
Davis Warren is currently expected to start at quarterback for Michigan vs. Michigan State tomorrow, sources tell @CBSSports/@247Sports.

Warren was the first quarterback to get the start at the beginning of the season, but he’s also getting the fourth crack at it. If he can get his turnover issues under control, that would be optimal, as he’s still the leading passer despite only having two and a half games to his name. And he also has the leading passing completion percentage. He was 2-1 as a starter with his lone loss coming against Texas in Week 2.
