Newsstand: Joel Klatt says Michigan has higher ‘ceiling’ with Jack Tuttle at QB

Tweets Of The Day

FOX analyst Joel Klatt weighed in on Michigan’s “ceiling” with graduate Jack Tuttle behind center. It appears Tuttle will be the Wolverines’ starter moving forward, after he came in in a loss to Washington Oct. 5.

From On3 :

“I guess, if you’re Michigan, there’s some solace in the fact that did they find their quarterback? Did they find somewhat of their identity, even in a loss, now with Jack Tuttle at quarterback?” Klatt wondered. “It was pretty clear early in that game. They fall down 14-0 and Alex Orji is the quarterback. It’s like, ‘This ain’t workin”. Sherrone Moore makes the change and he goes to Jack Tuttle. Tuttle goes in there and, in his first three series, you’re like, ‘Well, geez. Did they just become a playoff team?’, you know? I mean, it’s like the Michigan of last year.”

“It kind of fell apart down the stretch. So, no, it’s not a team that’s going to probably go to the playoff but now, all of a sudden, they’ve got a higher ceiling with Jack Tuttle,” Klatt said.

Quote Of The Day

“It’s all about how we can go about taking that loss, that adversity, and getting better from it. So it wasn’t a moment where we all had to sit back and weep or overthink what was going on, but it was just something that we took the idea, we took it all in, and after 24 hours, we flushed it, and we got better from it.”
