Michigan's Jake Rudock not a certain starter this week; Wilton Speight solidifies backup spot

Michigan’s top two quarterbacks will likely be on opposite ends of the comfort spectrum when they suit up for practice Monday afternoon.

Fifth-year senior and starter Jake Rudock is recovering from a shot to the ribs that sidelined him for the final 20 minutes of Saturday’s win at Minnesota. Harbaugh said he expects Rudock to be sore and limited during his first time back on the field.

The understudy, redshirt freshman Wilton Speight, is feeling anything but sore after leading a fourth-quarterback comeback and throwing a game-winning touchdown pass in his first significant college playing time.
