Michigan quarterback Davis Warren had a challenging game on Saturday, throwing three interceptions in Michigan's 28-18 victory over Arkansas State. With his interceptions tally now reaching six for the season through three games, concerns are growing about Warren's performance.

After throwing his third interception, Warren was replaced by backup quarterback Alex Orji. Orji completed two of his four passes for 12 yards and even managed a passing touchdown. He also showcased his agility by rushing for 27 yards. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore acknowledged Warren's poor performance, stating that the interceptions were unacceptable.

Moore emphasized the need for ball security, noting that the turnovers put the team at risk. The coaching staff made the decision to replace Warren and indicated that they will continue evaluating the situation in practice. Moore praised Orji for his ability to manage the game and protect the football, but stopped short of confirming his place as the starting quarterback moving forward.

The next challenge for the Wolverines is a crucial Big Ten Conference game against USC, scheduled for next week at Michigan Stadium. With uncertainties surrounding the quarterback position, attention is also being given to another potential candidate, Jack Tuttle. Tuttle, who served as Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy's backup last season, showcased his skills by completing 15 of 17 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. Michigan offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell expressed optimism about Tuttle's potential involvement in future games.

The Wolverines' coaching staff acknowledges the urgency to find a reliable option at quarterback, as the team's success heavily depends on protecting the football and minimizing turnovers. While today's game was a setback for the passing game, Moore remains hopeful for improvement in the future.

"We'll get better in the passing game and we'll continue to drive forward," Moore said, expressing his commitment to progressing the team's aerial attack.

The final decision on which quarterback will drive the offense forward is yet to be determined. Michigan must prioritize ball security and identify a quarterback who can limit turnovers, score points, and ultimately help the team secure victories. Despite the challenges faced, the Wolverines remain determined to find their footing in the passing game and achieve success in the upcoming matchups.

As the game against USC approaches, the Wolverines will intensify their efforts to solidify the quarterback position and ensure a brighter future for their passing game.
