Mon Sep 16 16:19:52 UTC 2024: ## Michigan Makes Quarterback Change Ahead of USC Showdown

**ANN ARBOR, MI -** In a surprising move, Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has announced that junior quarterback Alex Orji will replace Davis Warren as the starter for Saturday’s highly anticipated matchup against No. 11 USC. The decision comes after Warren struggled significantly in the Wolverines’ first three games, throwing for just two touchdowns and six interceptions.

The change marks a significant gamble for the Wolverines, as Orji has limited experience. The junior has thrown just seven passes in his career, with only four completions. However, Orji possesses a strong running ability and could present a challenge to the USC defense with his mobility.

“We felt like we needed to try something different,” said Moore. “Alex has been working hard and has shown flashes of potential. We believe he can bring a different dimension to our offense.”

Despite a solid performance against LSU in their opening game, USC’s defense has shown improvement under new defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn. The Trojans will look to limit Orji’s rushing ability and force him to make throws in a hostile environment.

The move comes with high stakes, as the Wolverines will be looking to pull off an upset against a formidable USC team. With a new quarterback at the helm, Michigan will hope that Orji can provide the spark they need to turn their season around.
