Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore's decision to bench a starting quarterback for the second time this season wasn't enough to turn things around for the Wolverines on Saturday night.
The Wolverines lost 27-17 to Washington after failing to spark consistent offense behind either starter Alex Orji or backup Jack Tuttle.
Michigan's struggles to replace former starter J.J. McCarthy, which began with the benching of Davis Warren after Week 3, continued as the program fell to 4-2 on the season.
Orji was benched in the second quarter after his first three drives of the game ended in punts.
