Michigan makes quarterback change, to start Alex Orji vs. USC

No. 18 Michigan is making a change at quarterback ahead of their Big Ten opener, switching to junior Alex Orji for Saturday's game against No. 11 USC, coach Sherrone Moore announced Monday.

Orji will replace senior Davis Warren, a former walk-on, for one of the Wolverines' biggest matchups of the season.

"Excited for him," Moore said of Orji. "I know he's chomping at the bit."

Warren is averaging 148 yards per game and has thrown for only two touchdowns with six interceptions in three games this season, including a 31-10 loss at home to Texas.
