Ann Arbor – Former Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight, who spent his graduate year at UCLA, remains a diehard Wolverines fan and said like most others, he’s looking forward to seeing the offense operated with what he described as “the handcuffs” off.
Speight, whose younger brother, Jess, is an offensive lineman at Michigan, said Jim Harbaugh’s hiring of Josh Gattis as offensive coordinator should be a game-changer. Gattis was a co-offensive coordinator at Alabama last year, and from the moment he took the job at UM, he has used the #speedinspace hashtag on Twitter as a sign of things to come.
