Ann Arbor — The reviews of Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson from training camp have read like a theater marquee promoting the latest movie blockbuster.

“He’s playing lights out.” — Josh Gattis, Michigan offensive coordinator.

“Shea has strung five great practices together consistently.” — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.

“He’s been clean.” — UM quarterbacks coach Ben McDaniels.

No, McDaniels isn’t talking hygiene, but presumably that’s covered long after the Wolverines’ lengthy preseason practices have concluded. What the first-year quarterbacks coach means is that Patterson, the Wolverines’ returning starter, has been nearly flawless as camp rolls on before the season begins Aug.
