Michigan football still doesn't have a QB it can count on

Jack Tuttle finished the Washington game 10-of-18 for 98 yards. He had one touchdown but also a fumble and interception. There were a couple of throws that reminded you that Tuttle was a four-star recruit but also moments that made you realize why he's played sparingly in 6 years.

I thought he made good decisions and showed some ability to run. I thnk he gives the Wolverines the best chance to win and during the bye week, Michigan should go all in with him as the starter.

You do wonder if Michigan had started with Tuttle or went to him last week when he was cleared, if this result would have been better. But Orji was winning and protecting the ball.

It was clear Orji wasn't going to rally the Wolverines but we still don't know what Michigan will get from Tuttle and I'm not expecting an All-Big Ten caliber guy each week.
