Michigan Football: Wilton Speight and Jehu Chesson Critical for Title Run

The month of November is crucially important in college football, and the relatively new playoff system does nothing to change that. Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh teams always seem to step up during this time, and yesterday’s 59-3 drubbing of Maryland highlights how the team, particularly Jehu Chesson and Wilton Speight, will respond down the home stretch.

Harbaugh has built this Michigan football offense around a hard running game, quarterbacks who aren’t afraid to get downfield, and always-open receivers.

In 2015, the Wolverines showed flashes of potential in all areas, but the passing game was a little concerning.
