Speight's deep-ball accuracy impresses Harbaugh

One area in which this Michigan team might be better with Wilton Speight at quarterback is on long passes.

In the win over Central Florida on Saturday, Speight had four completions of 30 yards or more, including pair that traveled more than 30 yards in the air: a 45-yard touchdown to Amara Darboh and a 35-yarder to Jehu Chesson.

According to Pro Football Focus, Speight has completed 11 of 20 passes of 10 yards or more through the first two weeks, and a few of the incompletions were drops by tight end Jake Butt.

"I've been really impressed by that," U-M coach Jim Harbaugh said on today's Big Ten conference call.
