Michigan football starting lineup not yet settled

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez is six

days away from his game debut, but his depth chart remains murky.

Seven positions on the depth chart did not have starters listed

Monday, including quarterback and tailback.

Rodriguez says he has a ``gut feeling'' about whether Nick

Sheridan or Steven Threet will take the first snap when the

Wolverines welcome Utah on Saturday. Sheridan played briefly in two

games last season, and Threet, a transfer from Georgia Tech, has

yet to throw a collegiate pass.

In the offensive backfield, freshman running backs Sam McGuffie

and Michael Shaw are listed alongside veterans Brandon Minor and

Carlos Brown.
