Most of the summer, Michigan put a lot effort into keeping the identity of its starting quarterback quiet. There might be no holding back Wilton Speight Saturday when the No. 5 Wolverines host Central Florida.Speight, a sophomore, is all but entrenched as Michigans lead signal caller after performing well in the season-opening 63-3 thrashing of Hawaii. Now the Wolverines are a 37-point favorite against the Knights, who have never played at Michigan Stadium and went 0-12 last season.Scott Frost, the former Nebraska quarterback who rose rapidly up coaching ranks and served as offensive coordinator at Oregon when Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy, led UCF to a win over South Carolina State in his coaching debut.Frost is a familiar name for Wolverines fans.Nebraska and Michigan split the national championship after the 1997 season, well before the College Football Playoff was even a pipedream.There are probably some people that care, Frost said, a softened stance in contrast to his boast that Nebraska was far superior to Michigan in January 1998. That was a long time ago. Its unfortunate that at that time the two best teams in the country couldnt play each other. We feel like we were the best team, they feel like they were the best team and well never know. It was a great year for me and has absolutely no bearing on this Saturday.If Michigan has designs on returning to a national title game for the first time since the split with the Cornhuskers in 1997, the Wolverines are counting on their first-year starter under center to help guide the offense.Speight completed 10 of 13 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns against Hawaii after outdueling junior John OKorn in fall camp to win the position.Speight knew he was going to start the opener but Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh refused to publicly spill the details.He had total command, and it speaks volumes and bodes really well for our team and really well for his career as a quarterback to have done that, Harbaugh said. Now he knows he can do it, and we can expect him to do it.Speights outing against the Rainbow Warriors didnt start so well. He telegraphed his first pass and it was picked off by Hawaii safety Damien Packer.Speight headed toward the sideline and there was Harbaugh. But he didnt encounter an angry version of the typically animated coach. He instead found him wearing a smile.It obviously wasnt the start I was imagining, and I was rolling to our sideline anyway, and my momentum carried me right into Coach, Speight said. He just grabbed me and hugged me and was kind of laughing. He said, Dont worry. Well get em next drive. Dont sweat about that. And I was able to do that.Speight rebounded and the Wolverines were off to a big victory with the 60-point winning margin representing its largest since a 69-0 rout of Northwestern in 1975.The defense also excelled as it gave up just 232 total yards and forced five three-and-outs. Senior defensive backs Delano Hill and Channing Stribling each scored touchdown on interception returns.Speight isnt alone.Running back Chris Evans, who moved up the depth chart when senior Drake Johnson was unable to play and made the most of his playing time, is looking for more against UCF after the Knights allowed just 2.6 yards per carry last week.Its big for me, said Evans, but I feel that with team success comes individual excellence. I knew I could do what I did, but I stay humble about it and want to see everyone on my team succeed. When I get my shot, I get my shot.In addition to Johnsons possible return at running back, the Wolverines could see reinforcements arrive this week. Senior cornerback Jourdan Lewis was held out of the Hawaii game for precautionary reasons due to an unspecified injury but will play against Central Florida.However, Michigan senior defensive end Taco Charlton (ankle) is expected to sit out after being injured in the opener against Hawaii. Sophomore linebacker Noah Furbush (knee) missed the Hawaii game and is unlikely to play versus Central Florida. Wholesale NCAA Jerseys . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Authentic College Jerseys Cheap .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. http://www.cheapncaajerseys.info/ . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Discount College Jerseys . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. RIO DE JANEIRO -- If it were up to Aly Raisman, the U.S. would be credited with gold medal A and gold medal B in the floor exercise finals Tuesday. Not because Raisman thinks shes the best. Quite the contrary.I think it was after all-around and before floor, [teammate] Laurie Hernandez was like, If you get silver again, youre the best because Simone doesnt count, Raisman recalled with a laugh. We just dont consider ourselves competing against her. ... Its like shes just on another level.Both levels were put on display as the Olympic gymnastics competition came to a close with Simone Biles and Raisman repeating the gold-silver finishes they had in all-around with stirring performances on floor to bring the team total to nine medals, a U.S. womens gymnastics record.In addition to the dominating team gold-medal performance (eight points over silver medalist China), Biles won four individual medals (three gold, one bronze), Raisman won two silver, and Hernandez and Madison Kocian won one silver apiece.Theres probably a list of things weve all done well here, Biles said when asked to rank, but I think me and Aly put the cherry on top.Both gymnasts received their high scores of the competition: a 15.966 for Biles, and for Raisman, who won Olympic gold in floor in 2012, a 15.5.For Biles, who received a thunderous ovation from the Olympic Arena crowd in introductions, floor was a fitting conclusion. Bouncing through a routine with the most difficult start value in the competition, the 19-year-old shook off the fact that she had taken part in every day of Olympic gymnastics competition, and soared to heights that drew audible gasps during each of the three times she performed it.I think it was actually good that floor was last because she can get a little amped up on floor and then she has a harder time controlling the landings, Biles coach Aimee Boorman said. So being a little fatigued was actually better for her landings because she can still get up in the air pretty high.How high?High enough to walk under, Boorman said.As for nerves, it was a nonfactor for a performer who consistently embraced the entertainment element of her sport. Sending Biles out to her final routine in Rio, Boormans instructions were simple.I said, Last performance of the Olympics. Go do your thing. Boorman said. And I just think thats how she approached it.Biles said there was a sense of relief upon finishing her routine but another emotion might have been stronger.Its kind of sad how fast this whole thing went, she said. Ive competed every single day of the competition, but you just keep pushing and keep going. Im excited that its over, but Im kind of sad, too.It was a similar feeling for Raisman as she followed two competitors later, second-to-last.It was really special because it was the best floor routine I could have possibly done, she said.dddddddddddd I havent gotten a 15.5 since Ive been here, so it was really awesome and it was just a really great way to finish. ...Marta [Karolyi, the U.S. national team coordinator] told us we were the final two, so she expected us to finish with a bang.For Raisman, who ranks second among U.S. gymnasts with six Olympic medals [three in London, three in Rio], the obvious question is whether this was the final performance of the 22-year-olds career, or at least her Olympic career. The only plan she would reveal for sure was a pizza party to be hosted by her and Biles, and a team final viewing party when they return home. But she sure didnt sound like an athlete about to retire.I just say I get better with age so maybe I will [continue], Raisman said. I feel like its obviously very hard to get to this point and its not always fun. Its getting back into this crazy shape that were in right now. But I love gymnastics, I really enjoy competing and I surpassed my expectations and everyone elses. So Im definitely on a high right now. But I think Ill take some time off, take a break and then well come back to the gym and see how it goes.Raismans coach Mihai Brestyan said he, too, was sad watching Raisman walk off the floor, but hopeful.I hope shell be back because I think she learned something from the previous Olympic Games ... and she still has a good shot for the next four years, he said. I believe that in my soul. At the level she is now, young kids are coming up but with no experience. It would be very hard to catch up.Raisman will be 26 in 2020 when the Summer Games are held in Tokyo.Twenty-six is not old, Brestyan said. She says all the time Im 22, Im old. And I say, No, youre not. This is the best body, the best brain, the best experience you can have. If you can put all this together, youll be the best and at the end of the day. She proved she can.So too did her U.S. teammates who will lose Karolyi as their coordinator but are not expecting a drop-off in the next four years.I feel fantastic, said Karolyi, who is retiring with the Games conclusion. I think the girls did an excellent job and again made a statement about the high level of U.S. Gymnastics. Im so proud of these girls. And Im so proud this training system in the U.S. really showed the superiority and competitiveness with the other systems. So Im going out very happy and very satisfied.For Biles, it was even simpler than that.I just hope people remember our passion and drive for the sport, and our good sportsmanship with each other, she said. [We believe] just to have fun with it and I think thats what we all did and I think thats why we were so successful.
