Michigan Wolverines Name Jack Tuttle Starting QB Amid Challenging Schedule

Seventh-year quarterback Jack Tuttle steps up as Michigan faces a critical matchup against Illinois following a series of quarterback changes.

Illinois, led by quarterback Luke Altmyer, poses a significant challenge as they aim to break a six-game losing streak against Michigan.
Michigan has added Josaiah Stewart as a fifth captain, highlighting his leadership and defensive contributions this season.
