I can't tell you I told ya so, because I didn't tell anyone besides a few friends of mine, but I could smell a transfer coming from Ann Arbor. I really didn't think it would be Tate Forcier though. Tate was the #1 quarterback in 2009. He led the Wolverines to a late, great win against the Irish. I really liked Tate's play, but I had always thought Denard Robinson was the favorite once he came in. Rich Rod just wanted to get Robinson used to the pace of College Football and ovbiously work on his overall skills as a quarterback. An athlete turned quarterback formula has ovbiously worked for Rich Rodriguez in the past with players like Pat White back at WVU.
Forcier had to deal with a few concussions last season, but still (at least to me) looked like the starter at quarterback. More news will follow with this transfer news, but for now it seems like the quarterback battle has been determined to a degree. Either Denard Robinson (So.) or Devin Gardner (Fr.) will make the start against Connecticut as September 4th creeps closer and closer.
Here are Tate's stats from 2009. Not too good, but did very well as UM went 4-0 to start the season
Forcier: Pass yds: 2050--Pass TD's 13-- INT's: 10--- Rush yds: 240---Rush TD's: 3
