Michigan QB Davis Warren Faces New Challenges Ahead of Oregon Matchup

Davis Warren, the quarterback for the University of Michigan Wolverines, is in the spotlight as he prepares for a crucial matchup against the undefeated Oregon Ducks. Warren’s journey to becoming the starting quarterback has been nothing short of inspirational. Diagnosed with leukemia in 2019, Warren has overcome significant adversity, including his recent benching earlier in the season. Despite these challenges, he remained resilient and has since regained his starting role, leading the Wolverines to a key victory against the Michigan State Spartans last weekend.

Ahead of the highly anticipated game against Oregon, Warren has been featured in the Big Ten Network‘s ‘The Journey,’ highlighting his perseverance and his role as an inspiration to sick children. The documentary showcases Warren’s determination and how cancer has not defined his path or his mentality as a competitor.

The upcoming game against Oregon, scheduled for Saturday, November 2, at 3:40 p.m. ET at Michigan Stadium, comes with high stakes. The Wolverines, currently with a record of five wins and three losses, will face off against the No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks. However, Michigan will be without a key player, cornerback Will Johnson, who is recovering from a lower-body injury. This will be Johnson’s second consecutive week out due to the injury.

Despite the absence of Johnson, the Wolverines are looking to build on their recent victory and secure another win to boost their morale and standings. Coach Sherrone Moore remains optimistic about Johnson’s return later in the season, emphasizing that he is expected to play again in 2024.

The game will be broadcast on CBS, with Brad Nessler on play-by-play, Gary Danielson providing color commentary, and Jenny Dell on the sidelines. The odds are currently in favor of Oregon, with a spread of -14.5 and a moneyline of -675 for Oregon and +490 for Michigan.
