(WXYZ) — Jim Harbaugh is making quarterback plans public heading into the season.
Cade McNamara will start Week 1 vs. Colorado State and JJ McCarthy will start Week 2 vs. Hawaii.
Then they'll make a decision on starter and backup, Harbaugh said in a statement released on Saturday.
"It's a great thing for our team but there's only one ball and only one quarterback can be out there at a time. So we're not ready to say who that starting quarterback is," Harbaugh said.
McNamara was Michigan's starter in 2021, leading the Wolverines to a Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff appearance. McCarthy, the highly-touted recruit, played throughout the season.
"Both quarterbacks have played great," Harbaugh said of their camp performances.
