There's no more "or" at quarterback on Michigan's depth chart. Jake Rudock's the lone starter.

Ty Isaac is listed in front of Derrick Green, w/ an "or" in the middle -- that order was in reverse last week.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) September 7, 2015
Drake Johnson still not on the depth chart. We'll see if Harbaugh has any update there.

Harbaugh on the Offense
Harbaugh: Chesson slowed down on the route on the long route. Have to get them on the same page (Rudock). Would have been a huge factor.

Yeah… There wasn’t a whole lot of talk about the defense.

Jourdan Lewis asked about the up-tempo Utah ran, why UM struggled...he said it "was fatigue"
