UM reportedly names starting QB for rivalry game vs. MSU

We now know who will be starting at quarterback for the Wolverines in Saturday’s rivalry game against Michigan State

We now know who will start at quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines in Saturday’s rivalry game against Michigan State.

The college football insider for 247Sports, Matt Zenitz, is reporting Michigan will go back to Davis Warren for Saturday night’s game against Michigan State. Warren started the Wolverines’ first three games before being benched. Warren hasn’t played since Week 3.

Warren struggled in his three starts this season for the Wolverines. He was efficient, completing 66.7% of his pass attempts. However, he also had six interceptions against two touchdown passes.

Michigan comes into this game as a slight favorite. The betting line ranged from 3 1/2 to 5 points on Friday night.

Kickoff between the Spartans and Wolverines is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

And here he is weighing in:
