COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight started at quarterback today at Ohio State.

Speight took the field in pregame warm-ups and looked far more efficient than before the Indiana game last week.

Speight, who was injured late in the 14-13 loss to Iowa two weeks ago and didn't play in the 20-10 win against Indiana, dressed in full pads and took the first snaps with the first team in the 7-on-7 drills and in the full-team.

Earlier he took snaps from "center" Jim Harbaugh. Speight was dressed along with backup John O'Korn and third-stringer Shane Morris.

He took the field immediately after Michigan arrived in just a sweatshirt and began throwing 10-yard outs with a manager.

He stayed on the field for about 10 minutes and his passes had some zip on them. He even unloaded a bit throwing a ball 40 yards that hit the goal posts before heading back to the locker room.

Though Speight dressed for the Indiana game last week, he did very little warm-up, just throwing lightly with O'Korn and nothing forceful.

But during this past week he took snaps in practice, Harbaugh confirmed.
