Ann Arbor — For the moment, there’s no reason to pretend.
There’s no incumbent starter at quarterback for Michigan’s football team, ergo there’s no starting quarterback.
And as Jedd Fisch, the Wolverines’ passing game coordinator, said recently, the coaching staff is in no rush to name one.
But unlike last fall, when the competition for that job was decided rather quickly — graduate transfer Jake Rudock easily separated himself from Shane Morris — and the depth-chart secrecy was mostly a smokescreen, “this is more wide-open,” according to Wilton Speight, who certainly would know.
Speight, the redshirt sophomore who ultimately served as Rudock’s backup last season, is the one getting first crack at the first-team repetitions as Michigan’s spring practices conclude this week.
