Michigan Football's potential will largely be determined by the play of Wolverines quarterback Alex Orji, according to 247Sports' college football podcast host Josh Pate
Michigan is riding high off of last year's national championship-winning season. However, there are more questions surrounding the program heading into 2024 than in recent years, none bigger than the level of quarterback play the Wolverines will get this fall.
"What if Michigan gets high level quarterback play this year," Pate asked. "If you answer, 'Yes'. If you affirmatively answer just that, 'Will they have high level quarterback play?' 'Yes, Alex Orji will be a high level quarterback this year' — they could win the national championship again. That's the short answer."
"J.J. McCarthy had kind of a strange-looking stat line as it relates to national title-winning quarterbacks," Pate said. "Those numbers, certainly, would be more than good enough " "Defense is going to take care of itself up there. Their run game will be there. Those elements are not going anywhere. Those, to me, are now staples of Michigan football," Pate said. "If they were to get that, if it's almost a cherry on top that you were to say, 'Wow, quarterback play, way better than we thought it would be this year.' If they've got that, they've got a shot to win it all again.
