Michigan Football: 3 takeaways from an empty loss to Illinois

1. Michigan football does not have one trustworthy quarterback

Through two appearances Jack Tuttle has turned the ball over four times. He is just as turnover-prone as Davis Warren is. The fact that the Wolverines don't have one capable quarterback on their roster halfway through the season is unapologetic. Toss in the truths that Tuttle takes too many sacks because he holds on to the ball so long and is wildly inaccurate, makes matters worse.

Someone mentioned Jayden Denegal get a look, but there has been no buzz on him being involved in the race at all.

On the bright side, Tuttle did throw for a season high 208 yards, which is also a career high for him. Colston Loveland was the primary recipient. Freshman Hogan Hansen had a record day as well.

The Illini defense sacked Tuttle five times and held Michigan football to a 10-year low in points. Tuttle had negative yards with his legs because of those takedowns and would have had a second interception, if not for a holding penalty that nullified the turnover.
