Michigan Thursday: Nothing But Quarterbacks!

I remember the famous SNL kit "Da Bears", where the fellas joked about who would win a game, if the Packers played a team full of Ditka's.   That skit jumped into my mind when Jimmy said, this at his press conference on Tuesday:

Is there a point where there’s too many [quarterbacks] and you have to pare that down?
“I don’t know that there’s an exact number. Right now we’re throwing the balls out there and letting the fellas compete, and the more good ones you have the better.”

Got me thinking that Jimmy probably would love nothing but a roster full of QB's.  He signed two in the recruiting class and took a transfer from Houston QB John O'Korn.  There are also rumors floating around that current Iowa QB Jake Rudock is considering Michigan as a graduate transfer this spring/summer.   Jake has played in 25 games in two years at Iowa, completes 60% of this throws and has thrown 34 TD's to 18 INT's.   He is 6'3 and 208 pounds and went to the same high school (St. Thomas Aquinas) as O'Korn.  

With walk-on's Jimmy has 7 QB's in Spring Ball, with two or three still coming on board. 

• If you haven't noticed, Michigan has a very unique non-conference schedule next season.   They open the college football season on a Thursday night at Utah.  They then come home to play Oregon State, UNLV and BYU.   You would think we are playing a PAC 12 schedule.  Couple of notes:  Oregon State has former Wisconsin head coach Gray Anderson, UNLV hired Snoop Dog's son High School head coach (who was a large part of ESPN's show on Snoop's son senior year) and BYU is tired of being independent and wants to join a Big 5 conference. 

• Today is the second day of Spring Practice.
