The timing feels right for him to go... he's got the maturity.
Never have felt that, that I can remember, before -- esp. after what is essentially one year of play.
We've been blessed.
Need to re-load!!
(Hot Peppa if you're reading -- pull 'em in, cement your legacy!)

It's about the journey! The journey would be better if he stayed another year in College because it doesn't get better than being the BMOC at a place like Michigan. There is a lot to experience in that incredible place and he'll have the rest of his life to enjoy the rest of his life.
If he's about his football career, he should go; if it's about the journey, he should stay!
Hey wait a minute, this is supposed to be about Speight vs. Rudock, let's get back on task...

If you have the opportunity to be financially secure for the rest of your life you take it at the first chance.

Us & Bama can both count on the other side of the ball playing well enough to win even when one side fails to. Bama's defense slept against Ole Miss but their O won it. Michigan's D struggled vs MSU but Speight won it.
Compare that to teams like Wisconsin, Florida or LSU (great D, no offense) or Cal, Texas Tech, etc. (great O, no defense). Michigan & Bama have both and that's why we're undefeated and at the top and why those other teams are rarely serious threats to win it all

I was very impressed with Speight yesterday. Still don't think he'll reach 'end of season' Rudock level but he's been a lot better than I expected.
The defense didn't back up their hype?! Hype is unwarranted, this defense is one of the nation's best. They got caught a few times by a rival in their house. Disappointing? Yes. But this wasn't going to be a dominating blow out performance anyway. Michigan was in control throughout and gave up some garbage time yards/points. Game was never as close as the final score. Don't forget about the multiple stops on 4th down, including that goalline stand after the Speight INT. Without that last TD, which was meaningless for the outcome, Michigan comfortably wins by 13.
Pretty sure another thread said this is the 2nd largest margin of victory over MSU in E. Lansing since 1997, I'll take that.

was perhaps interesting at the beginning of season, but is now an absolutely worthless and meaningless exercise and discussion. Loved what Rudock did end of last year, but he was a 5th year season and was one and done
Speight is very good - period! Strong arm, very accurate, good size, solid and somewhat nimble in the pocket, overall sound decision making, team and Harbaugh trusts his calm, quiet leadership. And he is a Redshirt Sophomore - we get him for two and a half more seasons, perhaps frustrating the "Peters will be the QB Savior next year" idiots.
If you want to make the comparisons worthy, compare him to someone like Henne in his sophomore year, or perhaps to a great quarterback like Jake Browning. The Rudock comparison is fucking useless...

Now that We are piling on the weeks and Speight has keep pace and even succeeded, is very encouraging for a perceived risk spot on the squad.
I too hopes he grows into a Michigan great over the next 2.5 years.

a little overboard with my use of negative adjectives and nouns - hadn't finished my coffee yet. My apologies. Please reinsert these comments:
"Fucking Useless" = "Useless"
"Idiots" = "Good fans who are are mistakenly looking for a freshman QB who has never taken a snap to be your savior over an experienced, strongly performing redshirt sophomore."
"Worthless" = "Irrelevant considering other factors and much more worthwhile comparisons"
"Meaningless" = "Fucking Meaningless"
Thank you for allowing me to clarify in a more dignified manner. Go Blue!!!

I was especially surprised by his little quarterback keep where he juked and avoided a tackler to get, what, 7 or 8 yards? It wasn't Denard, but it was something that I didn't expect. I think the announcer said that he could run a 4.7 40. That's not nothing.

when I saw the stats 16 for 26. I was at the game and he looked much BETTER than that. He took big hits right after throwing the ball and was right on target. We appeared to be conservative in the 2nd half - more than "needed" run, run, pass series, but even then he made good decisions (except for the int). He also showed some mobility, which is always a plus. We know he throws great balls when he has time - today he didn't have that luxury. No McDoom in the 2nd half ???
Now then ... why is Shane taking ANY snaps ? Everyone in the stadium knows the play is a run (and 90% chance that it's a sweep). I dont get that at all. Peppers, fine - leave Speight in fine, but we ran 3 plays with Morris yesterday and each one was a huge FAIL. WTF?
Go Blue!
