Ann Arbor — It is a two-man quarterback race between Wilton Speight and John O’Korn, coach Jim Harbaugh said last week as preseason camp approached the halfway point, and both are feeling confident in how they’ve prepared.
Speight was the starter last season, and O’Korn, a former starter at Houston as a freshman, was the backup.
Harbaugh has not yet told them when he will make a decision, O’Korn said. Speight was asked Wednesday if he expects to be the starter for the season opener against Florida.
“I feel good about the work I’ve put in,” said Speight, noticeably leaner after dropping 23 pounds in the offseason.
