Michigan's QB battle features clandestine meetings, undercover work

Michigan’s quarterback competition apparently has had layers of secretive, undercover work, featuring behind-the-other’s-back phone calls and secret throwing sessions.

And Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has loved it.

Quarterbacks John O’Korn and Wilton Speight are friends and friendly, but both want the starting job, and their work toward that goal went up a notch in summer workouts.

Michigan has not yet named a starting quarterback with the season opener looming against Hawaii on Sept. 3 at Michigan Stadium.

“The funniest thing that stands out in my mind, I’ve heard some of the stories from the summer, and … it’s pretty competitive in a good healthy way,” Harbaugh, while laughing, told Sirius XM College Sports, which was on site Wednesday.
