So when will starting QB be named ?

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Has he said or given an indication?

Sure seems like Milton based on media

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Sounds like it's Milton and naming him at this point is basically a formality.

Monday

Soon

Judging from the QB1 thread, when Milton decides to name himself starter.

Was at a Michigan fan’s house last night. Said Milton is trash. Hopefully it’s sour grapes.

As I posted in another thread, the week of the 23rd is supposed to mimic a game week. Same rhythm and approach so they can get used to it, especially since the first actual game week is abbreviated. The normal approach in that setting would be to know who your starting QB is. In light of this upcoming week being a pseudo-game week, I think they'll name a starter and give him the majority of the reps, just like would be done in season. Expect it to be announced, or just to start happening, this Monday at the latest.

He did some good and some bad. Sometimes he makes throws he has no business making, but he is an upgrade over JG.

OP, I think probably by the end of this week but I have no way of knowing for sure. JH doesn't seem like he wants it to go into game week.

So damn classless to call players "trash" and "garbage." That applies to all fan bases.

That’s what I’m hoping. Don’t have to be 12-0. Just be better.

A teatless cow could produce more than JG. It's a low bar but Milton is better based on his playing time at UM.

Harbaugh coaches them to be.

I agree. I should’ve used quotes so ppl would know those aren’t my words. I asked what he thought about Milton. He hesitated for a couple seconds and said, “He’s trash”.

I’m not expecting him to be a world beater. Just hoping he’s better than JG and does some things to showcase Heup’s coaching ability

Sorry man, I didn't mean to imply that about you at all. I was just making a general statement.

How have you not had a stroke being an active participant of this board? Every other comment is about how bad our team is or has been.

Haha
I figure anybody who feels the need to call college athletes names has bigger problems than this board can fix.
Edit: The "how bad" part is hard to deny.

I wonder what UF fans said when Newton left? Or tOSU fans when Burrow left?

In complete honesty, Milton wasn't very good at Michigan. But he has tremendous physical ability and according to most reports has worked hard to learn and operate Heupel's O. UT has three good options so I'm really not afraid of him failing.

Let’s just hope Heupel isn’t married to Milton like Pruitt was to JG. I don’t have a dog in the fight but have a gut feeling Bailey will get his chance.

 

[Dudleys87]

All 3 on rotation along with the 6-7 backs Tennessee has. They’ll never know who to prepare for and never see it coming

The thing that gives me the most hope about Milton is the fact that he was being coached by Harbaugh at Michigan and will be coached by Heupel here. Perhaps he was just a misfit at Michigan and now that he’s in a proven system that thrives with mobile QBs he will explode. We’ll see.

I’m cautiously optimistic about him, based on physical tools and the system he’s in, but if he doesn’t protect the ball and make the right reads those things won’t matter.
