The offense in the first quarter contributed zero points. Michigan football’s lone touchdown was a blocked punt returned to the endzone by Grant Perry.
Harbaugh was asked about the first drive in his post game press conference. Michigan lined up three different players at QB. Shane Morris inexplicably was used as a lead blocker on a toss sweep from under center. John O’Korn also saw a snap.
Speight was either pulled from the game or moved to a different position on the field twice early. It is not surprising that the sequence caused him to have trouble finding a rhythm.
