Kalis on the QB position: "Everybody probably knows who it is"
"The biggest question for weeks has been who will start at quarterback, junior Shane Morris, with limited game experience, or graduate transfer Jake Rudock, a two-year starter at Iowa.
“Everybody probably knows who it is,” offensive lineman Kyle Kalis said, smiling on Thursday."

Based on the limited feedback on Michigan practices and everything else we know...I think most people who follow Michigan football would be shocked if Rudock weren't the starter.

All due respect to Denard, if we're gonig to bring a former player back disguised as a freshman to start at QB, bring back Tom Brady.
August 28th, 2015 at 7:58 AM ^
Or maybe even old #4 himself....

You had four upvotes until I foolheartedly upvoted you. Sorry bro!

But he said something about "fighting between the lines" and that "the creek done risen" on his eligibility.
Or maybe he was being coy and meant "reading" between the lines?
August 28th, 2015 at 10:29 AM ^
I don't think he could pass for a 20 year old. Denard on the other hand just needs to let out his hair and go by the name Renard Dobinson. I think he could pass for a 23 year old 5-year grad transfer.
August 28th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
Renard Dobinson's nickname is Shoestring.

One of the most prolific running QB's in history. No big deal.
August 28th, 2015 at 10:39 AM ^
Denard would have zero chance to play QB at Michigan now. He would be a running back or DB on a Harbaugh team.
August 28th, 2015 at 11:39 AM ^
he turned Colin "Pistol Option Offense" Kaepernick into a pretty good NFL QB for a while there and a over 3000 yard passer, I think he could work out a few things with Denard who by the way was an all time talent as a Dual-Threat College QB.

And yesterday when they talked he said it was Ruddock

He whiffed on both names

...but I'm not telling!

Dave Brandon? (/s hopefully not needed)

But if it is so obviously Wilton Speight, why won't they just come out and say it publicly?

Except I have met Morris in person and you're wrong. Noticed how Morris is the same height as Rudock in the picture? Do you know Rudock's listed height on the roster? 6'3"--same as Morris. So...yeah.

The starting QB is...
... The STIG!

Love the enthusiasm, but I sure hope not. I like the idea of a polished 5th-year Gentry who has eligibility left as opposed to a beastly but rough frosh QB. But what do I know? The coaching staff will do what they do. I just hope they can preserve the redshirt in this case.
August 28th, 2015 at 11:22 AM ^
Watch, they have been trolling us all camp long. Gentry has actually been taking all the #1 snaps except when people are watching. lol

Logic says the edge likely goes to Rudock, who was second in the Big Ten last season in completion percentage (61.7 percent) and had 16 touchdowns to five interceptions. Morris, who emerged from spring practice, before Rudock had transferred, as the frontrunner, has made two career starts. The strong-armed lefty has said repeatedly the starting job has been his to lose.
I will definitely agree with Angelique that logic and inference from the very limited information out there would tend to say Rudock, but part of me remembers how depth charts have been at Michigan - particularly in the last few years - and thinks for a moment that it might be Garrett Moores, but I trust Jim Harbaugh to approach such things in a more considered manner.
In all seriousness, I would be surprised - but not in a bad way honestly because I would then be a bit impressed - if it was not Jake Rudock. Whoever rises to the top in the sort of environment Habaugh seems to create gets your respect.

"Whoever rises to the top in the sort of environment Habaugh seems to create gets your respect." This should be the last word on the qb battle.
