Monday was an interesting day for Michigan football fans and that’s because, for the first time in four seasons as head coach of the Wolverines, Jim Harbaugh announced a starting quarterback.
In previous years, Harbaugh waited until the day of the game or even once the game started to reveal his quarterback. Last year, we knew it was Wilton Speight, but not until the day of the game against Florida. When Jake Rudock trotted out against Utah, that’s when we first knew he was the guy.
So it was a bit of a surprise to see the news come out that Shea Patterson will be the starter against Notre Dame.
