After three games and six interceptions from Davis Warren, the No. 18 Michigan Wolverines (2-1) have named a new starting quarterback ahead of their matchup with No. 11 USC (2-0) — Alex Orji.

“Alex will start on Saturday,” head coach Sherrone Moore told the media on Monday. “Excited for him. He’s been in here chomping at the bit so we’ll move on from there.”

Orji entered the game last Saturday against Arkansas State after Warren went 11-of-14 for 122 yard with three interceptions. In relief, Orji went 2-of-4 for 12 yards with a passing touchdown.
