Putting a happy face on the QB situation think about this. In his Monday presser, which had about ZERO useful information, he did say one intriguing thing when answering a question regarding what kinds of things he was looking for in his starter and I'll paraphrase:
The big thing, the most important thing is moving the (Michigan) offense, finishing, scoring points, winning (in live, real football games). None of our QBs have demonstrated that yet. That's the most important thing.
I take that to mean while Speight is getting the first snaps he has to prove he can do what JH is looking for under the pressure of a live game, on TV and in front of 100K+ fans.
While it is likely that Speight probably got a few more snaps during practice week, none of us have any idea of how many nor whether or not O'Korn and even Morris got a fair share with the first team given what Harbaugh is looking for from his QBs.
Versus Hawaii, we could see a series here and a series there with different QBs. This isn't an offense that can't be run by several different QBs who, fundamentally, possess, to some degree, the same skill sets.
We might see that against UCF, maybe even CU. Who knows. I'm pretty sure, although he is not going to tell his players this, that he is imminently confident that his 2016 team is going to win the first three games. He'll know who is going to be the man under center to open conference play with PSU though.
