Michigan football leads to a QB change

The Wolverines were trailing Washington 14-0 early in the second quarter at Husky Stadium on Saturday (follow live game updates) when head coach Sherrone Moore opted to sub Alex Orji in favor of seventh-grader Jack Tuttle. Tuttle was long considered a safety valve for the Wolverines if they had to go that route, but injuries in the spring and summer threw Tuttle back into contention.

Instead, it was a two-man race between Davis Warren and Orji, which Warren ultimately won. However, this was short-lived as he threw six interceptions in the first three games and the coaches substituted him for Orji.

Tuttle came into the game and led the Wolverines on a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown run that ended with a 39-yard touchdown run by Donovan Edwards. Tuttle completed one pass for five yards on possession and ran twice for 14 yards.
