Michigan may have a quarterback controversy on its hands in Week 2.

The team has been content to start the season utilizing a 2-QB system, but how long will that go on? In Week 1, Davis Warren failed to impress for the most part, finishing with just 118 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT.

In Week 2, Warren has struggled against the Texas Longhorns in the 1st half. The QB completed 4 of his first 6 passes for 35 yards with no scores and 1 INT.

Meanwhile, Alex Orji has not seen a lot of action under center, lending some fans to wonder why he is not getting more of a chance to run the offense. Coming out of training camp, head coach Sherrone Moore made it clear Warren won the job but was confident in Orji’s abilities. So far, it looks like Moore has not been entirely honest about the QB battle.

Heading into halftime vs. Texas, the Wolverines are in a massive hole and it’s hard to see the current QB play turning things around. Safe to say, many Michigan fans took to social media to complain about the poor QB play.

If the struggles continue, it will be interesting to see if Orji plays the 2nd half.
