Published:
Michigan has made a decision regarding its starting quarterback!
Well… sort of. But not really. Kind of?
The Wolverines revealed on Twitter on Saturday evening that Cade McNamara would start in Week 1 against Colorado State, with JJ McCarthy starting in Week 2 against Hawaii.
Here’s the tweet from the Wolverines’ official account:

Jim Harbaugh is certainly an unorthodox guy, so this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Still, plenty of people took to Twitter to troll the Michigan coach for this decision (that isn’t really a decision):
Opening the announcement that you haven't made a decision with "We have made a decision" is so unbelievably good. We are witnessing an all-timer here. https://t.co/BPUo6NgY8S

So you’ve made no decision. https://t.co/sErF8Kdjqu

Jim Harbaugh loves to go against the grain.
He has announced two starting quarterbacks. https://t.co/oEM25L9HbX

We have made a decision by making a decision to decide later in the year. https://t.co/Ss6sKUcJrX

Will 2 weeks be enough for Harbaugh and his staff to make a decision? Or, will this battle between McCarthy and McNamara continue into Week 3? We’ll find out soon enough!
