As Michigan enters the second half of its abbreviated season, there isn’t a quarterback controversy per se, but Joe Milton had company this week taking reps with the first string.
Milton, a redshirt sophomore, has started Michigan’s first four games, and he likely will make his fifth start at Rutgers Saturday night, but backup Cade McNamara is on the radar. Coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that both would take snaps with the starters.
With just less than five minutes left in the third quarter of Michigan’s 49-11 loss to Wisconsin last Saturday night, McNamara took over and gave the Wolverines a spark, leading them to their only touchdown.
