COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight started for the third-ranked Wolverines against No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday after sitting out last week with a shoulder injury.

Speight hurt his non-throwing shoulder two weeks ago and sat out last week against Indiana. John O'Korn started in his place.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Speight was improving but gave no clue about whether the junior would play against the Buckeyes.
