Forcier to Start at QB for Wolverines

Freshman Tate Forcier, who enrolled early and got valuable practice time during the spring, will be the starting quarterback when Michigan opens its season against Western Michigan on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.

Forcier will be the third freshman since Rick Leach in 1975 to start at quarterback his freshman year. Chad Henne started in 2004.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez revealed his decision during his weekly radio show Thursday night. He reiterated what he has said for more than a week -- that all three quarterbacks, including junior Nick Sheridan and freshman Denard Robinson, will play.
