Michigan Tuesday: 2010 QB Election

With President Obama at the Big House this weekend, I thought it would be interesting to do a 2010 U of M QB Election at the Big House Blog.

329 of you voted and the results were interesting to say the least.

When I run these polls, I usually can predict what the results will be, this week's poll surprised me a bit.

Nearly 60 percent of you are ready to have Denard start in 2010, with only 30 percent voting for Tate.

Even, "The President," Jack Kennedy got more votes to start over Devin Gardner.

Why was I surprised?

I thought it would be closer to 50/50 split between Tate and Denard.

I fully understand how impressive Denard was in the Spring Game and I also understand that he can take a small opening all the way for a touchdown. My only concern is, Denard doesn't have a full year under center running the full offense.

Sure he played last year but that was in a very limited role. So, my vote went to Tate, just for the fact he has a full year's experience running the offense, and seeing 12 different defensive packages from the opponents.

Hopefully the competition in the Spring will push both of them to be better quarterbacks.

Either way, this could be a great 1-2 punch from the Wolverines next year.

Here is your winner

(btw: you have to feel for JB Fitzgerald #42 having to chase him - hopefully the end of the video will get your blood pumping a bit for the season)

• Stephen Threet Update: Steve didn't exactly tear up the ASU Spring Game. He was 9-27 for 117 yards with three picks. Yikes! Maybe the third team isn't a charm.
• The Ohio North — South Classic: Michigan's class of 2010 played very well: Defensive lineman Jibreel Black (Cincinnati Wyoming) won the Defensive MVP with at least three sacks and as many pressures. “It feels good,” Black said. “I’ve been working hard in the off season to get ready, and it just paid off today. I tried to come out in the second half and make some plays for my team and get the win.”---- The North scored a late touchdown on an Antonio Kinard (Youngstown Liberty) interception to make the score interesting, but they couldn’t do anything further.
• Speaking of Cincinnati, it seems Michigan is starting to recruit Cincinnati LB Antonio Poole , who currently has nine offers from the likes of Cincinnati, Illinois, Louisville, Michigan State, and many more.
• Michigan is also visiting Five Star RB from NJ this week Savon Huggins . Savon has offers from everyone including Michigan.
