Who is going to start for the Wolverines? Ever since Saturday's huge win over Minnesota the thing that has been on everyone's mind. Well Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez answered that today.

Rodriguez reported today that redshirt sophomore Nick Sheridan, after leading Michigan over a favored Minnesota team, is going to get another chance at starting for the Wolverines. Giving him a shot at another potential upset.

Redshirt freshman Steven Threet who was out with a concussion for the Minnesota game will split time with Sheridan.

"He practiced," Rodriguez said of Threet. "He was (limited) in a green jersey so he wasn't considered full go, but our quarterbacks don't get hit anyway now (in practice). He should be able to go Saturday, we think. Nick will start.

"Steve missed a little time and I want to make sure Steve is ready to go completely, not only from a health standpoint but from a concept standpoint [of] what we're doing. Both of them played well in their last starts, so it's not an issue of one guy is playing better than the other. It's just Nick has practiced more than Steve the last couple of weeks."

I don't know about the rest of the Wolverines fans out there but this is not something I'm looking forward to. Michigan's offense has looked much better when they have had one Quarterback running it exclusively. Rodriguez tends to throw in a fresh QB right as the offense's rhythm starts to get going and ruins it.

Rodriguez also added that freshman Justin Feagin would play the same role he did last week. Rotating three QBs sounds to me like we are headed for a train wreck. What do you think?
