Jim Harbaugh confident Michigan QB Wilton Speight can bounce back

ANN ARBOR -- Wilton Speight will get another opportunity to prove to Jim Harbaugh that he should be the guy at quarterback.

The Michigan football coach told reporters on Monday that Speight, who struggled with his accuracy in Saturday's 33-17 win over Florida, will start again Saturday when the Wolverines host Cincinnati (Noon, ABC).

But don't rule out fifth-year senior John O'Korn seeing some snaps, either."Wilton's going to be the starter, and John, we very much believe in John," Harbaugh said. "John will be used again."

It's the latest in the saga of Speight, who was benched for the final nine minutes of the first half Saturday for throwing interceptions on back-to-back possessions.
