ANN ARBOR, Mich. Tim Hardaway Jr. Jersey . -- Michigans mission is to win the Big Ten title for the first time since 2004 and reach the playoff. If the Wolverines have to rely on a backup quarterback to do it, coach Jim Harbaugh doesnt seem worried about it.Wilton Speight injured his left, non-throwing shoulder in Saturdays 14-13 loss at Iowa. Harbaugh said Speights status for Saturdays home game against Indiana could be a game-time decision.Harbaugh would not even say Speight had an injured shoulder. He acknowledged the undisclosed ailment would lead to backups John OKorn and Shane Morris getting a majority of the snaps Monday and for at least the next couple of days.Theyve both had extensive practice time through the course of the year, he said. Were confident they can do a good job.The fourth-ranked Wolverines can still reach their goals of a league title and likely a trip to the four-team playoff if they beat Indiana, win against No. 2 Ohio State on the road and win the conference title game.Their chances of doing all that would improve with Speight, who has been excellent for the Wolverines (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) as a first-year starter this season. He completed more than 62 percent of his passes for 2,156 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions.OKorn and Morris have played sparingly in several games, combining to complete 17 of 23 passes with two TDs and no interceptions. OKorn started 16 games at Houston before transferring to Michigan and sitting out last season. Morris started one game as a freshman in 2013 and one game in the 2014 season under former coach Brady Hoke before becoming a seldom-used backup under Harbaugh.Him and Wilton are pretty similar quarterbacks, tight end Jake Butt said. Were going to be running the same, exact plays.If Speight isnt cleared to play, OKorn will likely get start his first game at Michigan against the Hoosiers (5-5, 3-4).He has been preparing every single week as if he were the starter, Butt said. If his number is called, Im confident, everyone is confident, that John will be able to get the job done.The Wolverines are favored to win Saturday by about four touchdowns, but will likely be underdogs on the road against the Buckeyes, who have won four straight and 11 of 12 against in the rivalry. If Michigan can reach the Big Ten championship game for the first time, it will be expected to get past the East division champion to advance to the College Football Playoff.While Harbaugh has not talked to his team about the path to reach its goals, his players have been discussing the topic among themselves.Guys on the team have talked about it, Butt said. Theres really only one scenario, we got to win out. Its as simple as that. If we win out and handle business, were right where we wanted to be.Harbaugh might want to hand the ball off to Chris Evans more to close the season strong. The freshman averaged 6.5 yards rushing per carry, nearly three times more than anyone else on the team, but had just eight of the teams 35 rushing attempts against the Hawkeyes.Michigan also could tweak its defense against the run after allowing Iowas one-dimensional offense to gain 164 yards on the ground and letting Michigan States struggling team have some success with 217 yards rushing.Its something we dont want to let happen again, defensive tackle Matt Godin said. We need to change it. Way too many yards. Its definitely alarming in a way. Im sure well look at it and get it fixed. It all comes back to the defensive line and linebackers working together.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Knicks Jerseys . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.

This week they discuss new Raptors GM Masai Ujiri, former St. Louis Blues forward Andy McDonald, Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig, and 2013 French Open champion Serena Williams. Dave Naylor, TSN: My thumb is up to new Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri, who took on what may be one the toughest jobs in professional sports this week. But long shots are not something he is afraid of, because he knows this well, he was one himself. One of the things about sports we love is seeing people come from off the radar, late bloomers. We see it in the athletes and occasionally we see it in executives. That is Ujiris story, parlaying a modest college and pro career in Europe into a volunteer scout role with the Orlando Magic, and then climbing the ladder with the Denver Nuggets. The headline in Toronto this week was that the Raptors lured the NBA Executive of the Year; the more significant story is how he got there. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Andy McDonald, formerly now of the St. Louis Blues, who announced his retirement from hockey this week even though he could still play in the NHL. McDonald has had five concussions in recent years and over the past threee years, for every four games hes played, he has missed three. Isaiah Hicks Jersey. He wasnt feeling right playing in the NHL, he wasnt feeling right playing hockey and he made the hard decision to walk away now healthy rather than the alternative. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to the extraterrestrial playing right field for the Dodgers, rookie Yasiel Puig. An amazing start to a big league career, these are some of the numbers - six games, 10 for 23, four home runs including a grand slam, two outfield assists, hes slugging 1.000, and his OPS is 1.458. If we project this over 162 games, he would have 138 home runs, 324 RBIs and 680 total bases. Thats quite a pace. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb has been down to Serena Williams, and Im not sure it has ever been up, but now is the time. Her French Open win yesterday was her 16th major title and it came 11 years after her first one. She can stake her claim as the greatest woman on a tennis court and there is no end in sight to her ways of making a stronger case. She has lost only three times since the 2012 French Open, and has won her last 31 matches - 31 to match her age. We say "remarkable athlete" too often. In the case of Serena Williams, we dont say it enough. ' ' '
