Michigan's quarterback battle is close. Really close.
With incumbent starter Wilton Speight trying to hold off veteran John O'Korn, the fierce competition has sparked a fire throughout the entire team.
"Those guys are battling every day," tight end Zach Gentry said after Friday's practice in Ann Arbor. "It's been interesting. I've got to hand it to them, to be honest. It's been a lot of leadership. It has been awesome."
Speight, who slimmed down and appears fully recovered from last year's shoulder/collarbone injury, seems to have an edge to start the Wolverines' opener Sept.
