A month ago, John O'Korn stood in front of reporters at Michigan’s Schembechler Hall and talked about how thrilled he was for his teammate Wilton Speight's success. He said he didn’t mind that the younger, taller quarterback had beaten him out for the starting job in a close battle this August as long as the team kept winning.
"Zero complaints," he told reporters.
A few weeks later, O'Korn handed a ball off to freshman running back Chris Evans during mop-up duty of a blowout win against Maryland. Evans sidestepped his way through the defense as O'Korn sprinted beside him and drove a linebacker into the sideline as Evans stepped out of bounds.
