All right, you talk about Alex Orgy, and when it comes to Michigan, I mean, the phrase has always been if you got two quarterbacks you don't have any.

0:07.5

Michigan has four or five quarterbacks, like, JJ was the guy. He was the man. He led you to a national title back to back,

0:15.9

Final Force. How do you replace him? Who replaces him? And I guess the other question is is his replacement on the roster right now?

0:26.0

That's the biggest question that that is the question heading into the season.

0:31.0

I mean I think if they're playing a game tomorrow it is Alex Orgy I mean that's the vibe when you ask the players

0:36.8

He's always the first name they mentioned you know and then they kind of oh I think I just gave something away then they'll mention two or three other guys but it's like okay it's it's orgy right now that's pretty clear

0:46.1

he does bring a dynamic angle of being able to run the ball I mean he's 235 he's he's bigger than

0:51.6

J. L. I mean like that's that's how big this dude is and how he's put together

0:56.1

You know if he could get to a Jaylin Mill Row level where throwing the ball is serviceable and then you can compliment that with the run that would be ideal but we just haven't

1:05.2

seen him throw it I mean he's he's played a handful of snaps and never thrown the ball in

in games last year in the spring game

1:13.0

threw it here and there wasn't overly accurate and that's that's the concern can he tone it down a little bit he's got a big arm

1:18.0

he's got a strong arm but that's that's not everything you know Michigan fans remember Joe Milton very well.

1:24.1

He just could throw it a mile,

1:25.8

but he couldn't complete the short passes

1:27.6

or the ones that he needed to complete.

1:29.2

And so everybody's waiting to see how accurate Alex Orgy can be when everybody knows the running talent is there the size is there that he'll be able to tone it 10 or 15 times a game if you need him to

1:41.7

But yeah the accuracy is a question mark and so I don't know how much of that you'll be able to gauge on Saturday, but I mean if he's making good throws and he's accurate and he's on time and he doesn't turn it over that would be that would be pretty

1:54.3

promising heading into the fall so you know the spring spring football is getting ready to wrap up for most of the

2:00.3

schools across the country you're starting to see names here and there jump into the portal.

2:04.4

And I'm for Michigan shopping pretty hard for a quarterback, even if it's just for more competition in depth.

2:10.8
