So what's his issue then

Shoulder injury. Haven't heard much more than that. But he was dressed and throwing pre game

My guess that tricky AC joint area or some degree of separation can pop at any second....in other words game time decision -or- have the #2 QB ready.

Sunday line OHIO STATE -6'.

The line could move closer is Speight plays. And he was throwing before the game last week. Makes sense a lot of money went on Michigan thinking Speight would play.

I'm thinking he will but it seems like a bad idea for him to play with a broken collarbone.

216 Ohio State open -7½ now -6½ <--- obviously people jumped on Mich +7' taking the line down

I don't see why OSU wont be there.

One thing for sure either OHIO STATE or Michigan won't be there.

@the-cysko-kid said:

I'd like to think so but not necessarily. I'd like to point to a season way back in 2014 where a certain team lost two quarterbacks and still won the championship. If the team is good enough it can definitely happen.

Really you lost one. I mean, you had a portion of the offseason and all regular season for Barrett to start. Who is a better passer than Braxton, which probably helped.

But most importantly, that OSU team had more talent and depth than this Michigan team currently. Losing our QB hurts more. We'll get to that talent level in a year or two, but Harbaugh hasn't had enough time yet.

And now rumblings are that Speight could play this weekend if need be...

I have no idea what's going on with our QB situation haha

Wow, shoulder injuries can be really touchy, one wrong hit and you're back on the sidelines. ...or done for the season.

My wife got hurt at work last year, finally had shoulder surgery this May and probably will never work as a nurse again.....and she doesn't wear shoulder pads or get hit by 280 lb. defensive linemen.

I have no idea what's going on with our QB situation haha

Yeah, it's complicated. But what could anyone expect after three of the top four and six of the top 14 teams lost in a single weekend?

There obviously are a lot of critical games ahead, and the only seemingly safe team is No. 1 Alabama, the only remaining unbeaten Power 5 squad, which has almost certainly earned a mulligan after dominating a tough schedule.

Two weekends remain in the regular season, including many rivalry showdowns, and then conference championship games. No. 9 Oklahoma plays two ranked teams -- No. 14 West Virginia and No. 11 Oklahoma State -- to conclude its season, while No. 6 Washington can reverse its downward course against Arizona State, No. 22 Washington State and against a highly ranked team in the Pac-12 title game (No. 13 USC, No. 10 Colorado or No. 12 Utah).

More good news for Washington, which owns the weakest schedule among the contenders: Stanford re-entered the rankings at No. 24, meaning the Huskies now have two wins over ranked teams.

It seems like a stretch that No. 2 Ohio State could win out and not make the playoff, even if the Buckeyes don't make the Big Ten title game. Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports

Ohio State is back at No. 2 due to a strong overall résumé, with three top-20 wins (Wisconsin, Oklahoma and No. 18 Nebraska). The Buckeyes could add Michigan to that list, but they also could end up sitting out the Big Ten title game.

While No. 4 Clemson is no longer unbeaten, it also has quality wins over No. 15 Auburn, No. 5 Louisville and No. 17 Florida State.

Louisville owns a five-game winning streak, and its lone loss was a nail-biter at Clemson. On the other hand, its only quality win came against three-loss Florida State. The Cardinals play unranked Houston on Thursday and conclude their regular season against Kentucky.

Wisconsin's only losses came in consecutive games with Michigan and Ohio State, while it owns quality wins over No. 16 LSU and Nebraska. The Badgers are at Purdue this weekend and conclude their season at home against Minnesota.

In other words, there are a lot of present and future data points that the committee will be considering over the final three weekends. In fact, myriad seemingly off-the-radar games could play roles in how things play out, such as Florida State-Florida and Nebraska-Iowa.

Or what about more upsets? Is South Carolina a potentially tricky matchup for Clemson? Or might Michigan State catch the Buckeyes looking ahead?

There's a lot of football left, and last weekend taught us that believing that clarity might be on hand was a foolish conclusion.

Though of the 5 Big Ten teams, 4 of them are in Top 10. Only 1 Top Ten from SEC, 2 from Pac 12, 2 from ACC, 1 from Big 12

If m or OSU win out they should still be ahead of PSU in the Final Four....but one will lose!

November 26 should be interesting.
