Backup Quarterback to Start in Perkins' Absence

The starting quarterback for the University of Michigan, Blake Perkins, will not play in Friday's game against the University of Ohio State.

Backup quarterback Cade McNamara will start in Perkins' place. McNamara has appeared in three games this season, completing 18 of 35 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns.

The Wolverines are 9-1 this season and are ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Buckeyes are 10-0 and are ranked No. 1.
