Michigan Football: 5 Takeaways from the Wolverines’ 6-0 Start

Speight has been as good as advertised, maybe better

Coming into the 2016 season, the biggest question facing Michigan football was who would be the starting quarterback and would he be any good?

Speight answered the first question after a solid fall camp. He came out of spring football as the starter and maintained that position, despite a strong challenge from John O’Korn.

And seemingly, like always for Jim Harbaugh, it worked out perfectly.

Don’t get me wrong, Speight has been far from flawless. He’s struggled at times, especially in the first half against Colorado and at times against Wisconsin.

Yet, when called upon in big moments, Speight has delivered.

For the season, the redshirt sophomore, has completed a solid 61.4 percent of his passes and has thrown 11 touchdowns, compared to just two interceptions.

On a team that is as good as Michigan, the quarterback just needs to take care of the football and make plays in key spots, which is exactly what he’s done.

All in all, while Speight may not be a star, it’s safe to say, quarterback is no longer a question mark.
