ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Entering the season, it was easy to think that Michigan might struggle on defense after losing nearly every starter from last season. Through two games, though, it's the offense that requires further examination.

Junior quarterback Wilton Speight's accuracy issues and tendency to overthrow receivers have garnered the most criticism. And sent him back to basics.

"What it comes down to is, when there's something going on in my face, I've got to, when I avoid the pressure, I've got to keep my base," Speight said.

Facing blitzes, Speight completed just over 33 percent of his throws, as opposed to completing 61.
