EAST LANSING - Jim Harbaugh typically avoids discussing injuries, unless they're season-ending.
However, the Michigan coach on Monday said quarterback Wilton Speight's injury will sideline him this week and John O'Korn will start for the No. 7 Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday night (7:30 p.m., ABC) against rival Michigan State (3-1, 1-0) in Ann Arbor. That rather substantial nugget of information traveled 65 miles down the road and into the ear of Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, whose stance on discussing injuries is similar to Harbaugh's.
"I didn't know if he would play or not," Dantonio said of Speight.
