Beleaguered Michigan coach Brady Hoke had said he would name his starting quarterback Tuesday. Well, he reversed field Tuesday morning and said the decision won't come until later in the week. The Wolverines have started 2-2, and the offense hasn't scored a touchdown in either lo s. Atlanta Braves Blank Jersey Further, starting quarterback Devin Gardner has thrown five interceptions and zero touchdowns in the lo ses, to Notre Dame and Utah. NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks wrote Monday that after watching him become a turnover machine in critical moments for the Wolverines." Truthfully, the hype was overblown. Gardner (6-foot-4, 216 pounds) is an excellent athlete with a strong arm and good mobility. But he never has shown he can play in a pro-style attack. He was recruited by Rich Rodriguez at Michigan to run the spread, but Gardner's only playing time has come during the Hoke era, and he has proved to be a bad fit for Michigan's pro-style attack. Since Gardner became the fulltime starter last season, the Wolverines are 9-7. Granted, he has been hampered by a Scott Kazmir Jersey poor line, a mediocre rushing attack and a paucity of high-level receivers (he had last season and has Devin Funche s this season, but Michigan is embarra singly short of big-time playmakers for a program of its stature). Still, his decision-making is consistent only in its inconsistency and his accuracy waxes and Bobby Cox Jersey wanes po se sion by po se sion. Gardner was benched in the second half of this past Saturday's lo s to Utah in favor of sophomore Shane Morris (6-3, 204), who is a dropback pa ser. That also led to a public announcement from Hoke that he would name the starter Tuesday. In turn, that led to speculation that Morris would be the new starter. After all, why declare the job open if you're not going to make a change? If Gardner is your guy, say so. Don't leave him twisting in the Mark Melancon Jersey wind. His confidence already is shaky, so why make it worse? But on Tuesday's Big Ten coaches' teleconference, Hoke said both quarterbacks would get practice reps with the first-team offense and that the staff would make a decision later in the week. Hoke also said the staff had a lot of faith in both quarterbacks. Michigan plays host to Max Fried Jersey Minnesota on Saturday. The Golden Gophers are as one-dimensional a team as any in the nation; they won while completing just one pa s this past Saturday against San Jose State.
