Wilton Speight and Michigan football will roll

Speight really came into his own in last week’s win over UCF. All day, the young quarterback faced 8-man boxes and made the Knights pay.

With Jake Butt, Jehu Chesson and Amara Darboh, Speight doesn’t have to be spectacular, just good enough to give those guys a chance to make a play, because more often than not, they will.

Colorado has a good secondary and is stingy, but expect Speight to have a solid game. He’s accurate and makes good decisions and while he may not have another 300-yard game, 200-some yards and a couple TD’s sounds about right.

With all that said, even though Colorado will offer more of a challenge, the Wolverines should roll.

It should be a competitive game, more competitive than the first two, but in the end, the Wolverines should run away with it.
