    “Taking care of the ball, that’s going to be the No. 1 priority, the biggest thing,” Moore said. “You want big plays, you want efficiency, but we have to take care of the football.”

    Warren, a former walk-on, opened the season as the starting quarterback, but he was replaced by Orji following a three-interception performance against Arkansas State on Sept. 14.

    Orji, primarily used as a running quarterback in 2023, struggled with his accuracy and had only 118 total passing yards in wins against USC and Minnesota before being replaced by Tuttle against Washington on Oct. 5.

    Tuttle started for Michigan in its 21-7 loss to Illinois. He struggled with his accuracy early but finished with 209 passing yards, which was a season high for a Wolverines quarterback.

    247 Sports first reported that Warren would start against the Spartans.
