but don't be surprised if Malzone seriously challenges for playing time this fall.  

As of today, we know Taysom Hill is staying at BYU rather than take the possible grad transfer to Michigan.  

O'Korn, by most accounts, was extremely impressive all last fall with the scout team.  I know coach Harbaugh is preaching open competition and daily improvement, but there isn't a lot of doubt it's O'Korn's job to lose.

I appreciate what Wilton Speight did to help us win the Little Brown Jug, but still don't seriously think he will ever see anything other than occasional mop-up duty in the future,

Shane Morris has the biggest arm but unless he ever gains any accuracy, I doubt he'll be a factor.  I had hope for him a long time ago, but always feared he might have been a little overrated as a recruit.

I'm intrigued by the tools Gentry brings, but  his lack of QB experience is going to be hard to overcome, regardless of his superior athleticism.   Both Peters and McCaffery are much more polished products coming out of high school than Gentry was.  We'll see him on the field somewhere, but unless he comes on like gangbusters this fall under the tutelage of HARBAUGH and his staff, his window of opportunity at QB might not be there a year down the road.

Brandon Peters has a ton of talent and a lot of polish as an incoming freshman.  He's also already on campus as an early enrollee, but barring unforseen circumstances, everything points to him taking a redshirt year this fall.

Which brings us to Malzone.  He came in as a Hoke recruit but stuck with the class when Hoke was replaced by Harbaugh.  He brought with him a reputation as a very accurate and heady QB, but clearly struggled in last year's spring game.  A lot of fans seemed to have written him off with no evidence other than what they saw in that  one spring game.   I seriously doubt he's done anything other than work hard in the weightroom, film study, and in practice, and I expect we'll see a ton of improvement this April and beyond.  While I doubt it'll be enough to overcome the experience edge O'Korn has, it wouldn't at all surprise me to see Malzone emerge as our backup QB. 

p.s.:  I miss Rudock already!

that Mom and Pops McCaffery like Michigan AND Harbaugh.
