When Joe Milton takes the field Saturday night on the national TV stage, Michigan fans can rest assured the Wolverines quarterback won’t be asking, “Who me, coach?”
Milton will make his first collegiate start when Michigan opens the 2020 season at Minnesota, but it’s the the first time he’s played for the Wolverines.
It was his welcome to the Big Ten moment. Milton was a freshman in 2018, and he wasn’t quite sure his coach really wanted him to go into the game. He was in his usual clipboard mode when he was stunned to hear his name.
