From ESPN:
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that "it's likely" that redshirt freshman Brandon Peters will get his first collegiate start at quarterback Saturday night against Minnesota.
Peters replaced fifth-year senior John O'Korn during the second quarter of a 35-14 victory over Rutgers. Peters led the Wolverine offense to touchdowns on his first three drives in what amounted to his first significant playing time as a college quarterback. He finished the game 10-of-14 passing for 124 yards and a touchdown.
Harbaugh said he wasn't ready to name a starter this early in the week, but he was happy with the way Peters played against Rutgers.
"We're going in the way we have, preparing both quarterbacks," he said. Not naming a starter today, and we'll see how the week progresses. Our system is a meritocracy where the best players play. It was time for Brandon to play. He went in and acquitted himself very well."
