Michigan Names Alex Orji New Starting QB for Big Ten Opener Against USC

Coach Sherrone Moore made the switch after Davis Warren's struggles in the first three games of the season.

Alex Orji will start as quarterback for No. 18 Michigan against No. 11 USC on Saturday, replacing Davis Warren.
Davis Warren threw six interceptions in the first three games, prompting the change.
Orji has limited game experience, completing 3 of 6 passes for 15 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Coach Moore cited Orji's strong performance in recent practices and his dual-threat potential as key reasons for the switch.
Michigan's passing offense ranks 121st in FBS, and the team hopes Orji's athleticism will improve their offensive performance.
