Wilton Speight named the starting QB at UCLA for the opener. Color me shocked.

Thought for sure they'd be going with the true frosh Dorian Thompson-Robinson who was ranked in the 247Composite as the #2 Dual-Threat QB and #35 player overall in the class of 2018. Much better fit for Kelly's offense.
I think I always liked Speight better than most Wolverine fans.

True freshman Rondale Moore scores his second touchdown for Purdue. Tie game.

I'm not shocked. It will be interesting to see how he makes out there.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I wasn't shocked either. And I was glad he got the job, not only because he's a respectable guy, but because it bodes well for the QBs he left behind since he only left because he saw the writing on the wall.

Me too. Well before his injury at least. He never recovered from that. And, though this is rarely the case in a sport with 100-man teams, it's hard to argue that he didn't single-handedly give up that 2016 OSU game on his own. I'm not blaming him as much as his injury, though. Which was the point. And when he returned after the off season, it was the same in 2017.

Hopefully he's past that now.

Brohm has a real knack for minimizing his players' weaknesses.

You're an Ohio State fan. I'm sure you liked him a lot better than Wolverine fans considering he was one of the main reasons Ohio State won that game in 2016. A pick 6, another bad INT that was essentially another pick 6 after the flag on Michigan on the return, and lest we not forget the lost fumble at the one yard line. 21 point swing right there.

I am. He sucks. And that's me being polite.
Kelly must be having his, "hey let's start Blaine Gabbert over Kapernick" moment in college. My guess is the true frosh DTR as he's called- will wind up being the starting QB by seasons end.
