Shea Patterson Returning For Senior Year
Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson repeatedly has said during the season his experience with the Wolverines has been the best of his football life.
With that in mind, Patterson has decided to return to the Wolverines for his final year of eligibility, he told The Detroit News on Friday.
“I think my original plan was to come here and help the team out as much as I could,” Patterson, who transferred from Ole Miss a year ago, told The News. “The thoughts were maybe come out after one year, so I think there might have been some speculation there. At this point, I feel like everybody thinks I’m coming back. Excited to get that out there so they know.”
Unless Patterson has the same injury fate that Wilton Speight did this will be the first time in Harbaugh's tenure at Michigan that he has returning starter at QB for most of the year.

Knock on some damn wood for that last sentence!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:13 PM ^
I never had to knock on wood
December 21st, 2018 at 5:22 PM ^
You’re supposed to buff wood.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
You are supposed to lay wood
December 21st, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
You're supposed to respect wood.
December 22nd, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
Just take some Viragra...you’ll have whatever wood you are looking for.
December 22nd, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
You are supposed to just get wood
December 22nd, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
I'll take Rhino pill over Viagra anyday... ;)

Grab a nug whose cones are busty.
Wheeze her gig and make her crusty.
Buff the wood. Buff the wood.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
And I'm glad I haven't yet
December 21st, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
because i'm sure it isn't good
December 21st, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
December 21st, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
That's the impression that I get.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
Saw the Bosstones at a Lollapalooza years back. Never loved their music but it was a fun live show.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
I like wood.... I like wood
December 21st, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Yes, why tempt the devil for dawg's sake?
December 21st, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
The ceiling in the QB room is going to be very high.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
Great news. I can't help but think though that a small part of McCaffery is going "shit," in the midst of being happy for the team.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
Huge kick to the balls if he transfers. Honestly, was hoping they would tell Shea they were rolling with McCaffrey
December 21st, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
McCaffrey was good in limited time but come on... Shea is better and can take the offense to a whole new level if he's unleashed in the passing game.
December 22nd, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
McCaffrey has a better arm.
December 23rd, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
Yeah, that would be a genius move. "Hey Shea, fuck off, this guy that has thrown 15 garbage time passes is the truth." Programs don't decide who plays based on if a 19 year old is going to get his panties in a bunch.
What good would it do to transfer, anyway? He is just going to have to battle an established starter or deal with the backup that has been waiting in the wings. Or....he can stay, continue to outperform the other backups and start for 2 years for a top-10 team.
December 23rd, 2018 at 5:40 PM ^
Yeah, he’s a redshirt sophomore next year isn’t he?
Staying he has a heck of a future ahead of him. And he gets one more year.
He can play for a shot this year, and if he doesn’t get it this is one downside in a win (free degree) win (great alumni network) win (two years likely starting in a good system with coaches with pro contacts) situation.
I’d guess Peters is gone. And Milton maybe if he can’t unseat Mccaffery in a couple years
December 21st, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
I hope he sticks around...his ceiling seems to be quite high and it would be nice to have his experience and abilities once Shea leaves.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:54 PM ^
Mccaffery is going to get a lot of playing time.
Strategy needs to be run up the score, and get Dcaff in at the half.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
let's air it out next year!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:05 PM ^
This is fantastic news! Looking forward to watching the offense next year with almost everyone back.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
I just cried. This is great news. As big or bigger news than getting another 5* recruit commitment for this recruiting cycle.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
did u cry 4 real?
December 21st, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Well he was chopping onions at the time.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:52 PM ^
While watching the end of "Marley & Me."
December 21st, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
And Jimmy Stewart read A Dog Named Beau.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
I'm an emotional wreck. Thanks, Shea.
December 22nd, 2018 at 1:09 PM ^
Mods please delete.
I thought the above poster was writing in regards to the new QB commit. I’m an idiot, my apologies. Look forward to greatness from Shea in 2019!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
Throw the ball 30+ times a game. Roll him out so he throw on the run a little bit more too. With Haskins gone he could be 1st team all B1G if Jimmy lets him sling it.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
Agreed. None of this run up the middle on third and long on our own 25 bullshit.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
Double post wasn't my fault! AHHHH
December 21st, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Reread that last paragraph and the "ThOuGht hArBaugH wuZ a qB wHiSpERer" takes sound even dumber.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
We can have nice things!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
Sweet. Keep kicking ass, Shea.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
Great news. Excited to see this offense in year two with the same players for the most part.
December 21st, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
Return of the King - Mineral King.
December 21st, 2018 at 6:03 PM ^
How many puppet accounts does Mineral King have!?
December 21st, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
Far less than Maizen...
December 22nd, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
Fewer
December 21st, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
GREAT!!
December 21st, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
Patterson, DCaff and Milton. That three-deep is not too shabby.
December 21st, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
What about B Peters? I think he’s solid and could be a contributor next season.
December 21st, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
I think Peters is good but there have been strong hints about his future from some insiders.
December 22nd, 2018 at 7:46 AM ^
He gone
